Mel Brooks Announces Sequel To 1 Of His Most Beloved Films In Funniest Way Possible
HuffPost
"We asked 'What do the fans want?' And instead, we're making this movie," the comedy legend said.
Honestly, we’d like to see how Mel Brooks would handle “Blazing Saddles 2.” But (thankfully) that’s not what we’re getting.
Instead, the legendary comedic filmmaker, 98, announced Thursday that he will be releasing a sequel to his most sequel-friendly film: “Spaceballs.”
“Spaceballs 2” will drop in 2027, 40 years after Brooks’ original “Star Wars” parody premiered in theaters.
And although audiences likely are sick of sequels because Hollywood has been shoving them down our throats for roughly the past 20 years, “Spaceballs 2” might be the sequel we need considering that its teaser skewers sequels in the silliest way possible.
The clip, which uses the classic “Star Wars” opening crawl, begins with the lines, “Thirty-eight years ago, there was only one Star Wars trilogy. But since then there have been… A prequel trilogy. A sequel trilogy. A sequel to the prequel. A prequel to the sequel,” blue text on the screen says as the words scroll upward.
