Spaceballs 2

How did these iconic films spawn such obscure tv shows?!?

Does the first cast photo look familiar? It will to Star Wars fans.

May the Schwartz be with you!

It’s been almost 30 years since Spaceballs hit theaters, and Rick Moranis is finally back under the (dark) helmet. Watch the beloved star come out of retirement to reprise his role as Dark Helmet in a clip from Wednesday’s Goldbergs episode.

Mel Brooks is arguably the king of cult classics, having made a ton of movies in his heyday that are still just as funny now as they were in the ’70s and ’80s. And since the current climate in Hollywood is a combination of sequels, reboots, and nostalgia, it’s no wonder that at least one Brooks comedy is looking to get a sequel. Brooks recently revealed that he’s been chatting with MGM about the possibility of a sequel to his immortal Star Wars send-up Spaceballs.

Now that ‘Star Wars’ has been revived with an incredibly promising new trilogy, isn’t about time for ‘Spaceballs’ to return? Original ‘Spaceballs’ director Mel Brooks thinks so, and while he’s previously hinted at the possibility of a sequel to the 1987 ‘Star Wars’ spoof, this is the first time that Brooks seems really dedicated to the concept. But it might not be an easy road to production.
