Re: Mel Brooks and Rick Moranis back in Spaceballs 2
Wasn't SB2 promised in the first : "Spaceballs 2, the search for more money"? Mel hasn't done sequels but maybe he feels there is enough new SF material that is generally known to make SB2.

Re: Mel Brooks and Rick Moranis back in Spaceballs 2
On chat shows afterwards he used to say he’d never do Spaceballs 2, but he might do Spaceballs 3: the search for spaceballs 2.
I think he’s rightly spotted that Hollywood’s obsession with bankable sequels and the phenomenon of the ‘cinematic universe’ are things worthy of sending up in their own right. And the best way to do that is via a sequel to a film whose main running gag was its own merchandising opportunities.

These said merchandising opportunities they were never allowed to take advantage of as that was George Lucas only stipulation to allow the film to be made
