Comedy Spaceballs Sequel from Mel Brooks and Josh Gad

[DaddlerTheDalek]

Is this really happening?

 

[Arnold Rimmer]

Honestly, this sound promising. Mel producting, Gad co-producing and starring, and written by the Detective Pikachu team.

Make this a spoof of the new post-Disney movies and we're set!

It'll probably be a Hulu film like History of the World Part 2.

Or Prime Video since Amazon MGM is producing it.

OR could be for theaters. Red One seems to be getting a theatrical release.

Absolutely adored the original, but yeah, this is far too late. I am not someone who is against Legacy sequels or remakes either but this just doesn't make sense.

Not to mention most of the original cast are gone.

 

[The Big G]

Mel's old enough to properly play Yogurt now

Daphne Zuniga became one of those Hallmark Channel actors, too.

But Road House did not premiering at SXSW.

 

[Drizzle]

I doubt they'd give this a theatrical release. If Netflix isn't giving Beverly Hills Cop IV a theatrical release, which is a movie with much more box office potential, then I can't see Amazon/MGM entertaining the idea of releasing this in theaters.

 

[DarkKnight88]

I can actually remember a time when little Jonathan Lipnicki was being bandied around as Young Dark Helmet when the prequels were coming out lol

Listen, I’ll make casting easy. I present to you the son of Lone Star and Princess Vespa;

Yep and half the fun of these sequel's is seeing the originals back. Not interested in a whole new cast myself.

I’m not against this at all. For ****’s sake, Top Gun Maverick was just a couple years ago and it was massive. That film proved to me that it’s never too late to do a legacy sequel if the material is good. And they have plenty of stuff to poke fun at: the SW prequels (because they all sucked and no amount of whining about the D+ shows will ever change that), the sequel trilogy, the shows, plus other things like newer Star Trek movies and shows, the new Apes movies, Guardians of the Galaxy and Marvel’s other cosmic stuff… bring it on.

A legacy sequel to Top Gun with Tom Cruise who's barely lost a step in nearly 40 years is not the same as a comedy legacy sequel where half of the original cast is either dead or retired. Also the ratio of good legacy sequels to bad ones leans very heavily on the bad side of it. Especially with comedy sequels if Dumb and Dumber To, Zoolander 2 and Coming 2 America are anything to go by. It also doesn't help that parody movies as a genre is pretty much dead because of Friedberg and Seltzer running it into the ground years ago with trash like Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, Meet the Spartans, etc.

 

[DyeLorean]

I don't know. These late sequels sound good at first but then they look like Coming 2 America, and all the charm of the originals is just not there anymore and it's depressing.
Still hoping for the return of good ZAZ spoof movies, that's for sure.

Josh Gad's writing the script (might even be part of the cast, I'll bet_:


Just wanna ask: why are people on Twitter wailing over this?

This is an unnecessary sequel that's more than 20 years too late and Josh Gad isn't everyone's cup of tea. As an actor, he's better in small doses.

We'll see how this goes. Still very early to judge. Twisters was deemed "unnecessary" and look how shocking good it was?

Twisters felt like more of a reboot than a sequel but that was still a safer bet than a sequel to a nearly 40 year old comedy where half the cast is gone or retired.

 

[Arnold Rimmer]

Who's to say this wouldn't be either? They could use this to parody the sequel trilogy which was mostly a newer cast too.

It's not even just that. Comedy sequels that come out 20-30 years after the original have a very high failure rate when it comes to quality (Dumb and Dumber To, Coming 2 America). If it's a hit I'll eat crow but I'm not expecting much from this.

 

[DarkKnight88]

I mean, Gadd is either one of two things;

Son of Dark Helmet or son of Barf.
