Mel Brooks' "Spaceballs II"



When writer/director Mel Brooks' "Spaceballs" comedy spoof of "Star Wars" was released in 1987, fans of the 'space opera' genre were delighted with the film, but most reviewers at the time dismissed the film as lame 'shtick', thinking the whole "Star Wars" 'thing' had run its course and best left forgotten. But the fans were right, the film was successful and now Brooks is developing "Spaceballs II":

Unfortunately the original "Spaceballs" film has seen many of the main cast pass away, including John Candy as 'Barf'...


... Joan Rivers as 'Dot Matrix', Dom DeLuise as 'Pizza The Hut'...


...and Phil Hartman as 'Dink'.


But Brooks himself who played 'Yogurt' and 'President Skroob', Bill Pullman as 'Lone Star' and Daphne Zuniga as 'Princess Vespa' are still working.
