September 30, 2004 - The Schwartz is still with comedic filmmaker Mel Brooks, who is reportedly considering a sequel to his hit Star Wars parody, Spaceballs. Brooks told Playbill magazine that he was currently writing a screenplay for a Spaceballs II.


"Why another Spaceballs? ...the first one was the best experience I've had making a movie since Blazing Saddles," said Brooks, whose more recent parody films include Robin Hood: Men in Tights and Dracula: Dead and Loving It.

The original Spaceballs, which came out in 1987, starred Canadian comedian Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet, Bill Pullman as the Han Solo-type Lone Starr, the late John Candy as Barf the Mawg, and Brooks himself as both President Skroob and Yogurt. Brooks intends to play Yogurt in the new film; perhaps it will be a prequel to the original Spaceballs.

Brooks intends to capitalize on the release of Lucas's third Star Wars prequel by getting his parody out at about the same time - a deadline that could be tough to make. "Best-case scenario: [Spaceballs II opens] a week before the new Star Wars opens. Worst-case scenario: a year after the new Star Wars opens."

The title is not set in stone either. Brooks has mentioned in the past that he'd like make a sequel called Spaceballs III: The Search for Spaceballs II. One pithy fan suggested the new movie be called "Spaceballs I", and the original one renamed Spaceballs It-Was-Always-Episode-IV. We'll let you know what Brooks decides on.

As long as Mel Brooks is behind this, I have faith in it.

spaceballs is fucking hilarious.  I remember watching it ever since i was little, and i thought it was funny.  Now when i watch it, its even better.  I hope he does this.  Mel Brooks is a genius. Too bad John Candy is gone, but to be honest, he wasn't the reason the first one was funny.  They HAVE to bring Rick Moranis back.  He was by far the best character in the first one. Thanks for the news. :cheers:
