According to this article (and a number of others around the 'Net) it looks like it might happen.

This all depends if they can get Moranis to come back to acting, he didn't have any interest in returning for Ghostbusters so I'm not sure how he would feel about this.

 

[Daniel Nelms]

They'll have to find somebody else other than Rick to play him everything I've read and the interviews I've seen seem to suggest that he has ZERO interest in acting now.

 

[James Kenobi 1138]

I remember reading years ago how much he hated the costume, hated working with Brooks, pretty much his least favorite acting job.

Should title it 'SPACEBALLS 3: THE SEARCH FOR SPACEBALLS 2'

Cool though.

 

[Moviefreak]

Without Moranis? Blasphemy!!!!
He MADE that movie!

No John Candy or Joan Rivers...

 

[Amish Trooper]

Yeah I'd have a hard time watching this without Barf. I love Mel but I don't know how this would work.

 

[Curmudgeon]

Seems strange that Mel would choose to do a sequel for Spaceballs.. I thought he wasn't too fond of the original

Really? Mel Brooks is 88 years old..

 

[kegas76]

He figured if Harper Lee could do it...

 

[PoopaPapaPalps]

Because the Spaceballs Animated Series panned out so well. I think that gauged the audience's interest in this "franchise" fairly well.

Should title it 'SPACEBALLS 3: THE SEARCH FOR SPACEBALLS 2'

Mel himself made that joke once!

That's the funny thing about Spaceballs. Brooks got George Lucas' permission to parody Star Wars prior to filming under one condition - that no merchandise be produced from the movie. This is why Brooks thought it was funny to include all of the scenes of Yogurt trying to sell Spaceballs merchandise; none of it existed off of the set (not legitimately, anyway).

Lucas knew that the merch would sell really well lol. They could always do a Spaceballs prequel lol. I just wish the animated series had been better, they had some of the original cast but it just wasn't that good. Every since big budget comedies with giant sets went out of style Mel's movies just aren't the same.

Since Candy is gone, they could have a new character to be the co-pilot, named "Hork", that is half woman, half cat, and constantly hacks up hairballs.

...They could always do a Spaceballs prequel lol.

And we can learn that Lone Star and Vespa are siblings, Barf fought alongside Yogurt in the Druid Wars, and young Dark Helmet built Dot Matrix.
