Summary
Josh Gad and Mel Brooks are working on a sequel toSpaceballsfor Amazon , butSpaceballs 2will be pointless if they do n’t bring back the great Rick Moranis to act Dark Helmet . While it was n’t as well - reviewed asBlazing SaddlesorYoung Frankenstein , Spaceballsremains one of Brooks ’ most dear comedies . Its sarcasm ofStar Warswas considered to be outdated when the film get in 1987 , four years after the original trilogy end , but just as George Lucas ’ space opera has endured for ten , Spaceballsremains a timeless gem .
Amazon has confirmed thatSpaceballs 2is in developmentwith Brooks bond as a producer and Gad attach as the star . The sequel will be directed by Josh Greenbaum from a script by Benji Samit , Dan Hernandez , and Gad . It ’s unclear ifSpaceballs 2will be a direct subsequence to the original movie , bring back conversant lineament and plot line from the first one , or more of a spiritual sequel spoofing similar sci - fi property . But one thing is clear : without Rick Moranis , there ’s no power point in making aSpaceballs 2 .
Rick Moranis' Dark Helmet Has To Be Part Of Spaceballs 2
Dark Helmet was one of the best parts of the first Spaceballs
From Bill Pullman as cocky hit man Lone Starr to John Candy as his half - man half - bounder brother Barf to Brooks himself in dual roles as Yogurt and President Skroob , there are a ton of screaming performances inthe ceaselessly quotableSpaceballs . But one of the funniest turns in the movie is from Rick Moranis as the malign Lord Dark Helmet , a sendup of Darth Vader . Dark Helmet is the shortsighted - statured , short - moderate villain of the movie whose intergalactic wrongdoing are shown to compensate for his tiny size .
And on top of Dark Helmet being a big role and one of the best parts of the original film , Moranis is just an all - time comedy legend . FromGhostbusterstoLittle Shop of HorrorstoHoney , I Shrunk the Kids , Moranis star in some of the funniest picture of the ‘ 80 . Moranis always brings something unique to a comedic ensembleand delivers some of the best lines in any motion-picture show he ’s in . Spaceballs 2would be a pointless endeavor without Moranis .
Why Rick Moranis' Spaceballs 2 Return Is Not Guaranteed
Moranis has been semi-retired for years
While Moranis ’ return would makeSpaceballs 2a quite a little more exciting , there ’s no guarantee that he ’ll actually come along in the flick . Moranis has been semi - retired for years ; his last acting role was in 2006 when he reprize his voice role as Rutt inBrother Bear 2.He has n’t come back for other revivification of franchise he was a part of , likeGhostbusters . regrettably , it seems potential that theSpaceballssequel wo n’t boast Moranis – and if that ’s the case , I ’m not interested .
