| During a recent interview with Adam Carolla's podcast Take a Knee, Mel Brooks alluded to a desire to make Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money sometime after the release of Star Wars Episode 7. |
I wouldn't hold my breath though, with Joan Rivers and John Candy gone and Rick Moranis in retirement it would be a hard sell ultimately- even for Brooks.
“Without Rick, I wouldn’t do it. I’ve got the helmet in storage, just waiting for him. [Laughs] It’ll fit nobody else. Rick is five-five-and-a-half. It’s a perfect fit for the big helmet. He was such a genius. And God bless John Candy who’s gone. Tom [Meehan], who wrote it with me, has great ideas and I would love to do Spaceballs 2. We even have the title because in Spaceballs I said, “Maybe we’ll do Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money.” [Laughs] That’s what I would call it. It’s the perfect title.”
It might be a pipe dream, but it it sure fun to think about - or we can just go home and watch our Spaceballs DVDs and Blu-rays... again.
