The only way I could see it working is if they make make some kind of statement on that. How Star Wars has tried to become so omnipresent it’s slowly began dying off. But I don’t think late career Mel Brooks can pull that off.
I don't think general audiences will care about any of that.
they care more about Spaceballs than post-jedi star wars.
I imagine Mel is just an E P so there are no rights issues.
its arguably more ripe for parody than ever
It better be titled Spaceballs II: The Search For More Money
Spaceballs 3: The search for spaceballs 2.
where the original print of spaceballs 2 was ruined by the director, and characters in the movie refer to how awesome it was, but we never see it
So like Thankskilling 3?
In Denmark there was a comedy film series that consists of Jydekompaniet and Jydekompaniet 3. They skipped the second movie since the second movie always sucks so they just went to make the third straight away.
It's going to be called something like Spaceballs: The Rise of Dark Helmet
Spaceballs: Somehow it has returned
"Starring Josh Gad"
Yeah, no thanks.
You're telling me you didn't like his stellar performances in... Pixels, The Angry Birds Movie, or Olaf's Frozen Adventure!?
Josh Gad is not funny. I'm already passing on this one.
Pretty sure that after Joan Rivers died, Mel Brooks came right out and said “we can’t do it without both her and John Candy.”
Now, do I want to see Brooks totally lampoon what “space movies” have become? Absolutely.
The question is, at age 97 (!!!), does he have the ability?
I don't know that any 97 year old does. But with that being said, I recently watched a Gene Wilder documentary from last year, Mel was one of the main people they interviewed and he seemed very still with it mentally. Like yeah, maybe he was reading from a script or teleprompter or something, but he seemed very articulate and sharp.
I didn’t even know Mel Brooks was alive
Having horrible CG versions of both their characters would be perfect.
Who the fuck is Josh Gad?
Dollar store's Jonah Hill
Who is also equally unfunny.
He's a non-funny person.
He was the Snowman in Frozen, which made more money than a mid-sized Latin American country's GDP so now we're stuck with him forever
If it’s anything like History of the World Part II—— HARD PASS
History of the World Part II
Oh wow, I legitimately forgot about that.
I wanted to like it. Turned it off a few episodes in.
No
No god please no.
Is it a reboot, a sequel, seboot, a soft requel, a reimagining, a creative reset, a new beginning? WHAT IS IT?!
But will there be merchandise ?
...this is going to suck.
DID SOMEBODY SAY BELATED SEQUELS THAT NOBODY ASKED FOR?
If it makes fun of childishly-written prequel trilogy Star Wars and soulless corporate sequel trilogy Star Wars, then it could be amusing
So no chance then? Gad needs that sweet sweet Disney money.
Josh Gad? I’m out.
Josh Gad may turn out to be a decent writer, but I don't want to have to watch him act.
Remember that the opening crawl named Spaceballs as "Chapter Eleven"? Which could either mean they will do 10 prequels, or that they were bankrupt (explaining why they needed more money).
Don’t.
Y, tho?
$
The search for more money
It's about family
This would have been a bigger get in like 2013.
And it'll be their stunt doubles!
history of the world 2 was mostly bad
When mainline Star Wars already has Jack Black in it, I think it's beyond being parodied. Especially with Jack Black-lite Josh Gadd.
Josh Gad is involved? Oh, then it's just gonna suck :(
It’s probably a surprise prequel

Endless garbage!!
Truly chilling announcement. Arguably moreso than the Pattinson remake of Possession.
If Rick Moranis isn't in it I'm not interested.
Nope.
Why even bother.
Spaceballs 3 the search for spaceballs 2?
Could they please not?
From the thumbnail I immediately thought, "Damn, what happened to Seth MacFarlane?"
No Rick Moranis, John Candy, Joan Rivers, and I’m gonna assume Mel Brooks. This is going to suuuuuck.
Does Spaceballs work when Star Wars is no longer the monolithic franchise it once was?
