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

Damn. Mel brooks is looking spry for 99.
I know right? He turns 99 later this month! I hope I look that good.
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!
I hope Bill Pullman's son is in this too as Lonestar's son. And his name is Bob.
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!)
I want to see a super serious trailer with Dark Helmet a la Darth Vader... with an optional comedic break near the end.
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.
I would love it if he and Dave Thomas reunited for more Great White North. They could be old dudes with Gen Z grandkids.
I was wondering if he was coming back. Really the most important character

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

We asked what the fans want. Instead, we're making this movie.
nice
Classic Mel.
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.
side-eyes Invincible
...almost everything. Kinda bummed we didn't get a Spawn cameo but, I get it.
Fallout and The Boys are also very good. Also continued The Expanse well.
The Boys was great. For about 1.5 seasons and then became an expensive, repetitive, gratuitous mess that made no effort to keep changing the formula. I actually convinced myself it was okay enough to get through the whole series then looked back and thought "I can't remember a single significant plot development that led to anything real beyond the first season."

Hey at least Mel Brooks won't have to wear makeup to play Yogurt. Dude is 98.
He's 99 end of this month 😲.
I just want him around long enough to see this made, and to get his parts in for Yogurt.

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

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.
History of the World Part II was honestly fucking great. It also had very little to do with Mel Brooks. It had brilliant comedians at the helm writing and steering everything: Ike Barinholtz, Nick Kroll, and Wanda Sykes. A goddamn DREAM TEAM, and they pulled it off regardless of the reviews.
This outing had better heavy hitters really leaning hard into the comedy. I've heard good things about The Naked Gun remake which is a lot of people in this same arena, plus Seth Macfarlane. That's quite a big team.
Please don't ruin this great movie with a sub-par sequel.
Rick Moranis, I'm speaking directly to you because I know in my heart you are using Lemmy.
You better fucking show up.
