Rick Moranis once he launched a wild spacely spatial sequel III: The Search of Spaceballs II

Long before the new Space balls The sequel has inserted active development, Rick Moranis He had his absurd absurd absurd on what a sequel could be and judged by the title, Spaceballs III: the search for Spaceballs IIIt looks like a destination and ridiculous idea that the fans would have fun.

In an interview with Heeb, Moranis revealed that after the original Space balls It became a cult success in Home Video (it was not a box office smash when it was released), MGM was interested in a sequel. Moranis launched one directly to Mel BrooksAnd it was perfectly on the brand. He said:

“Mel wanted to make a sequel after he became a cult success. It was not a box office success. It was a cult success and MGM wanted to make a sequel. And my idea was Spaceballs III: the search for Spaceballs II. And I was unable to make an agreement with Mel. I could not make an agreement.”

Moranis wanted to jump immediately Spaceballs II And go directly to III, which is exactly the type of meaningless and self -conscious comedy that made the original this gem. The title alone is perfect.

Unfortunately, the project blocked itself due to problems between Moranis and Brooks.

“I was not aware of what the budget was or anything, but the agreement that presented me, what he wanted me to do, was not practicable. It was two or three years later.

“He wanted me to … it is better if I did not enter the details. Because it is so specific, it is counterproductive to talk about it. But I was not able to make an agreement, and it would have been something I wanted to do.”

It’s a shame, because The search for Spaceballs II Probably he would have leaned strong to the parody of Auto-Parodia and the science fiction of the franchise.

Well, a Space balls The sequel is finally happening. It is currently expected for the release in 2027, with Josh Greenbaum (Stray) direction and a script from Josh Gad, Benji SamitAND Dan Hernandez.

Moranis is returning as a dark helmet and will be reached by other members of the original cast Bill Pullman (Lone Star), Daphne Zuniga (Princess Vespa) and Mel Brooks himself, who will resume his role as yogurt and Skroob president.

Space balls Lone Star and Barf follows (the delay, fantastic John Candy), a Han-and-Ciwie style duo in a research to save Princess Vespa from the clutches of the exhilaratingly evil dark helmet, which plans to steal the planet’s air intake.

While Spaceballs III: the search for Spaceballs II I never thought of seeing the light of the day, at least the fans are looking forward to a sequel that brings together the original band. We hope it is once gloriously ridiculous like Moranis.
