From what I've read, Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis are set to return and reprise their roles as Lone Star and Dark Helmet. Other cast members include Bill Pullman's son and Josh Gad. While Mel Brooks is also set to return as Yogurt, he won't be involved in the writing or directing of the sequel, it's supposed to have 2 or 3 writers, one of whpm is Josh Gad..

While the involvement of Mel Brooks being limited to playing Yogurt, and maybe being one of the producers, doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence, I'm willing to give this movie a chance. I'm hoping that Brooks will at least have final say over the script and can have it rewritten if he's not happy with any of it.

Josh Gad... well there goes the movie. Only thing worse would be Seth Rogen or Andy Dick. :lol:
 
I never thought they'd be able to get Rick Moranis back in front of the camera again..........I'm still super-bummed he was never in Ghostbusters Afterlife or FE. If he doesn't return, not sure I'd even want to see this.

I was trying to explain to my kid's how ridiculously bad yet enjoyable these types of movies were back the 80s/early 90s; Naked Gun, Airplane, Hot Shots, Strange Brew, etc. I'm curious what they'll do, that kind of humor really doesn't work anymore, just a different time.
 
If they match the comedic level of the text-scroll trailer I'll be laughing all the way through. (I'm still chuckling.) I'm gonna try to not be cynical about this one. I know it's an uphill battle, but it's a potential bright spot on the horizon compared to things like Star Trek Academy, Ahsoka s2... and the eventual ruining of Firefly once the Mouse decides that it's time...

Moranis has to be getting a massive paycheck…
I imagine he and bill pullman will have cameo's. Lonestar's son will be looking for him the whole movie and at the tail end he finds his dad....and he's playing action figures in a room with dark helmet. The end. Spoof on the end of TFA.
 
I do hope for merchandising to finally be unshackled from that deal with the devil they made back then. . A Hallmark Eagle 5 Christmas ornament that plays Bon Jovi I will die for.
 
Replacement casting ideas off the top of my head:


King Roland of Druidia: David Caruso (with sunglasses)

President Scroob: George Lucas

Yogurt: Dwayne Johnson (on his knees)

Barf: Nick Offerman

Dot Matrix: Aubrey Plaza

Do an ending like Holy Grail, but have Lucas come in with a team of lawyers to end it
 
I would like to think they'd have the good taste to write Barf out rather than recast him. I'm likely naive.

I dunno what makes it different between actor deaths, versus actors who just don't want to return, or cannot return (which is often a gray area).

With 'Spaceballs' they are missing like half the main character actors now. They will have to either recast a lot of people, or be missing a lot of people. That choice will shape the direction of the movie.
