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!)
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 want to see a super serious trailer with Dark Helmet a la Darth Vader... with an optional comedic break near the end.
I was wondering if he was coming back. Really the most important character
What about John Candy though!!!!!
I didn't think we have the technology to bring him back
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.)
Gonna miss him as Barf. RIP
My wife says dogs don't live that long so they can spin it that way 🙂↕️.
I'm worried he just got into the chocolate on the ship. I hope they got a really nice shoebox and a lovely plot in the yard for him. He was his own best friend after all.
My wife brought that up about chocolate. I prefer the age thing myself, seems more dignified to me.
I think John Candy would have found it funnier to not be dignified. But he'd also likely just be honored anyways to be included.
True, can't wait to see how this turns out. Rick Morrison making his comeback with this movie is the greatest news I've heard in a long time.
Same. I hope we get some great parody movies out of these times, and this is a pretty wild one to get a sequel for. It's like Christmas if Santa got drunk and forgot to deliver toys for a decade but really made up for it when he got sober again.
Just an absolute joy.
God damn it, man. Sobs
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.
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.
There are more and more promising trials of life-extension drugs, procedures and genetic tricks, It seems like we might be only a couple decades away from extending human lifespans* by around 30% from conservative averages.
I wonder how many of us are going to slide under that lowering Indiana-Jones door. And how many people are going to live on after seeing people they care for dying to a disease that we still think of as natural. and will look back at one day the way we look at how we lived before germ theory or antibiotics existed.
* in this case, "human" will probably mean wealthy white men, but it will be a start.
I know right? He turns 99 later this month! I hope I look that good.
Definite proof that it's good to be the king!
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.
Damn, they're finally making 'The Search for More Money.' Too bad Disney kind of beat him to it.
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
I hope Bill Pullman's son is in this too as Lonestar's son. And his name is Bob.
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.
Rick Moranis, I’m speaking directly to you because I know in my heart you are using Lemmy.
hi it's me rick thank you for continuing to believe in me it's children like you that keep the christmas magic alive
The REAL Rick Moranis wouldn't have horrible grammar and punctuation. He's Canadian.
Get outta heeeeeeere ✊
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.
