I hope Bill Pullman's son is in this too as Lonestar's son. And his name is Bob.

Damn, they're finally making 'The Search for More Money.' Too bad Disney kind of beat him to it.

[–] Alpha71@lemmy.world 15 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Damn. Mel brooks is looking spry for 99.

I genuinely thought he had passed several years ago, I had a real Mandela-Effect moment when I saw this trailer, I thought at first "There's no way this will be funny without Mel leading it." Then he appeared and seemed old but energetic and thought "there is no WAY they used AI to resurrect him, this is horrible!"

It took a few minutes for me to figure out what reality I was in and I still have my doubts about Spaceballs sequel, not because I don't think it will be funny, but because the general population who discusses things and overanalyzes things get the loudest voice and review bomb movies that are supposed to be just fun and not a pointed social statement.

Dick Van Dyke is also still around and doing projects heading towards 100.

If keeping busy is keeping them around I look forward to each of their 150th birthday parties.

Definite proof that it's good to be the king!

HOLY SHIT, RICK MORANIS IS COMING BACK!

(And a bunch of other original cast members too, which is also very cool, but Rick Moranis basically quit acting to be a stay-at-home dad three decades ago and this is the project significant enough to lure him back. It's gotta be a pretty good script if it's capable of that!)

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

He’s been trying to get back into acting for a while now. This is a great movie for fans to get to see him in.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

There's an interview that he did recently floating around YouTube. He seems like he's ready to be back.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 9 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

What about John Candy though!!!!!

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I didn't think we have the technology to bring him back

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

We sort of do but it will be a nightmare abomination of stitched together dead things.

(I'm talking about AI, not actual frankenstein tech, John probably would have been cool with that way of coming back.)

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

We kinda do have it, but it would be wrong to do so. As much has I love to see John Candy in a new movie it just wouldn't be him.

But they will do this with some dead celebrity for sure mark my word. Hell they done it before with shitter technology. Just look up the John Wayne Budweswire commercial from the 90's if you want an example.

[–] IndigoLarry@lemmy.world 12 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Gonna miss him as Barf. RIP

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 12 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

My wife says dogs don't live that long so they can spin it that way 🙂‍↕️.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

I know right. If they don't find a way to honor him I will be very disappointed. Better be big goddamn statue of him in that movie.

[–] dumples@midwest.social 11 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I was wondering if he was coming back. Really the most important character

[–] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

It would also be impossible to replace him. I'd say that imo it was his most iconic role.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Also the movie's most iconic character.

We asked what the fans want. Instead, we're making this movie.

nice

[–] sartalon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Classic Mel.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

Cartoon went largely unnoticed, missing the subtitle (so far) "the search for more money" and if they hit that release year Mr Brooks will be over 100 years old.

He also fought in WW2.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 112 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

It better be "The Search for More Money"

[–] JennyLaFae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 12 hours ago

I was honestly disappointed we didn't get Spaceballs: The Sequel

[–] cowfodder@lemmy.world 42 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money

Well, this is certainly not something I expected to see today. Not sure how I feel about it. Amazon has a great history of ruining things they touch.

There was a rumor many, many years ago of Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2

Hey at least Mel Brooks won't have to wear makeup to play Yogurt. Dude is 98.

[–] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He's 99 end of this month 😲.
