With Mel Brooks himself producing, there is any chance whatsoever. He's almost old enough to run for senate so I don't know how active he's going to be, and, well...he's got a 20th century sense of humor.

I mean yeah yeah Blazing Saddles has a lot of racism in it because the thesis statement is "This is what racism looks like. It's pretty dumb, huh?" But go watch History of the World Part 1 again. It's funny but you'll involuntarily say "holy shit" a few times.

Spaceballs specifically...it was largely a parody of the first two Star Wars movies. It came out after Return of the Jedi but I'm struggling to think of anything referenced from that movie. And Star Wars was a PHENOMENON in the 80's, it had the culture's attention. Star Wars is of waning popularity right now because Disney ran the wheels off of it. Do you attempt to pick up where Spaceballs left off, or do you attempt to parody modern Star Wars?

And, is Hollywood at large capable of making a comedy movie anymore? They haven't done it in 25 years since the release of Galaxy Quest. Can modern actors deliver an actual goddamn joke that isn't just a pop culture reference?
