Mel Brooks is producing a sequel to Spaceballs with Josh Gad starring. Please say they are getting Rick Moranis to come back for this…

Fun! Staking my claim right here that Josh Gad will be a Mawg.
Good call!
Even going into the theatre I still had hope that he had a secret cameo in Frozen Empire.
If they can get in a “somehow, he returned” about Rick Moranis… 🧑🍳 😘
I think Rick Moranis is done with acting. I don’t think he was a big fan of his character in Ghostbusters and Spaceballs. Besides, I think it’s time for fresh blood. As much as l miss John Candy and Joan Rivers, as much as I loved Rick Moranis on those movies, it’s okay for us to let go of them and let the next generation of actors make a new Spaceballs for the current generation, rather than for us Gen Xers and Millenials. We’ll always have the original Spaceballs and Ghostbusters.
Mel Brooks made a joke about the title of a Spaceballs sequel on one of the late night shows when I was growing up that always stuck with me. He said they thought about calling it "Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2." (in addition to the search for more money joke that is in the actual movie of course.)
