Honestly, give it's been almost 40 years since the original I don't have high expectations.

Josh Gad?

😔

Anyhow I can see this being a direct parody of the SW Sequel Trilogy, so the OG cast returning in support roles, (even John Candy via CGI)

[–] Creamofdacrop884 (1733) 5 months ago

That is what I'm guessing it will be.

Unfunny, Politically Correct sequel to Spaceballs by people who never made anything good. No thanks.

Exactly

Why?

Why?

"The search for more money."

Good line but 40 years later it is more likely to lose money.

It won't be a sequel. It will be a shot for shot remake disguised as a sequel, with all the latest political points shoved in.

Spaceballs is a stand alone film, and a product of the pre-CGI era when Hollywood actually made great films instead of mediocre ones. It should be left as it is.

maybe will be like force awakens.

charlene and marlene should be revealed to be clones.

The first one had the public's interest because Star Wars was the number one movie franchise at the time. No one cares about Star Wars anymore.

Didn’t they just do this with History of the World?
