HOLY SHIT, RICK MORANIS IS COMING BACK!

(And a bunch of other original cast members too, which is also very cool, but Rick Moranis basically quit acting to be a stay-at-home dad three decades ago and this is the project significant enough to lure him back. It's gotta be a pretty good script if it's capable of that!)

WOW! After his wife died and he took a step back from acting - perhaps not shrinking his kids in the mean time - it has to be good if he's in it...right? Though, due to all the previous reboots/sequels/rehashing of previous IP, it probably won't be :(

[-] dumples@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago

I was wondering if he was coming back. Really the most important character

[-] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

It would also be impossible to replace him. I'd say that imo it was his most iconic role.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Also the movie's most iconic character.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

There's an interview that he did recently floating around YouTube. He seems like he's ready to be back.

[-] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

I want to see a super serious trailer with Dark Helmet a la Darth Vader... with an optional comedic break near the end.

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

What about John Candy though!!!!!

[-] IndigoLarry@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Gonna miss him as Barf. RIP

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

My wife says dogs don't live that long so they can spin it that way 🙂‍↕️.

[-] IndigoLarry@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

God damn it, man. Sobs

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

I didn't think we have the technology to bring him back

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

He’s been trying to get back into acting for a while now. This is a great movie for fans to get to see him in.

It better be "The Search for More Money"

[-] cowfodder@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money

[-] JennyLaFae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

I was honestly disappointed we didn't get Spaceballs: The Sequel

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 16 points 1 month ago

Well, this is certainly not something I expected to see today. Not sure how I feel about it. Amazon has a great history of ruining things they touch.

[-] Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

side-eyes Invincible

...almost everything. Kinda bummed we didn't get a Spawn cameo but, I get it.

[-] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Fallout and The Boys are also very good. Also continued The Expanse well.

[-] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

They almost ruined that series with the budgeting/ animation. They saved it with the finale. I'm not going to hop the animation hate train, though. It definitely came down to budget/ time constraints.

[-] Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I think they do a good job of choosing when to turn the heat up on that budget and when to dial it back.

I don't think they had that as well dialed in during Season 2, but I couldn't complain much about the Conquest fight. It could be miles and miles better, sure.

[-] Default_Defect@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago

I'll take rough animation over that cgi trying to look like animation crap that never looks good.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

What do you mean? Invincible handled the animation perfectly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhndpv7sEqE

We asked what the fans want. Instead, we're making this movie.

nice

[-] Alpha71@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Damn. Mel brooks is looking spry for 99.

Hey at least Mel Brooks won't have to wear makeup to play Yogurt. Dude is 98.

[-] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

He's 99 end of this month 😲.

[-] Gerudo@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

I just want him around long enough to see this made, and to get his parts in for Yogurt.

[-] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

I'm hoping his soul refuses to rest until The Search for More Money is completed!

[-] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I keep thinking, will he even make it to the release? 2027 is a long way away for someone that's 99. It's also crazy to think that he was still in his 60's when the first was made.

There was a rumor many, many years ago of Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2

[-] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

well now they won't have to make that one i guess.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 1 month ago

I like the scroll mentioning all these sequels and spinoffs but then says there was only one Spaceballs this whole time...

I guess even Brooks himself has tried to forget the short-lived animated Spaceballs series.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Cartoon went largely unnoticed, missing the subtitle (so far) "the search for more money" and if they hit that release year Mr Brooks will be over 100 years old.

He also fought in WW2.

[-] rbos@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

So, Jack Black as Barf?

[-] arniegeddon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Other than what's it's parodying I'll never understand the love for Spaceballs. Terrible movie in my opinion.

[-] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Damn, they're finally making 'The Search for More Money.' Too bad Disney kind of beat him to it.

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

History of the World Part II was honestly fucking great. It also had very little to do with Mel Brooks. It had brilliant comedians at the helm writing and steering everything: Ike Barinholtz, Nick Kroll, and Wanda Sykes. A goddamn DREAM TEAM, and they pulled it off regardless of the reviews.

This outing had better heavy hitters really leaning hard into the comedy. I've heard good things about The Naked Gun remake which is a lot of people in this same arena, plus Seth Macfarlane. That's quite a big team.

Please don't ruin this great movie with a sub-par sequel.

Rick Moranis, I'm speaking directly to you because I know in my heart you are using Lemmy.

You better fucking show up.

[-] Psythik@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

If Rick Moranis isn't in this one, then it's going to flop.

From what I remember, he left acting in the 90s to raise his children, but I'm pretty sure all your kids have grown up and moved out by now, Rick. Don't let us down.

[-] Default_Defect@midwest.social 3 points 1 month ago

They're grown up, but its possible they might be shrunk down.

He's already signed on, along with Bill Pullman

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago
[-] SippyCup@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month ago

It seems like he's expected to return as well.

hi it's me rick thank you for continuing to believe in me it's children like you that keep the christmas magic alive

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

The REAL Rick Moranis wouldn't have horrible grammar and punctuation. He's Canadian.

Get outta heeeeeeere ✊

[-] FuckFascism@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Please let this be true
