Rick Moranis has been gone way too long. Even those new "Ghostbusters" movies didn't lure him back to Hollywood.
But I am 150,000 percent JAZZED to announce that he WILL return to once again play Dark Helmet in "Spaceballs 2"!!! Bill Pullman will return as the hero Lone Starr, too.
And Mel Brooks will be back as Yogurt . . . and, presumably . . . President Skroob.
Josh Gad co-wrote the script, and he's expected to be in it, too.
Pullman's son Lewis Pullman has also been cast, along with Keke Palmer . . . but there's no word who they're playing.
There's also no word on any other returning cast members. Obviously, John Candy, Joan Rivers, and Dick Van Patten won't be back, since they're no longer with us.
Mel released the first teaser yesterday. There's no footage, since filming hasn't begun yet.
It starts with a text crawl that makes fun of all the "Star Wars" prequels, sequels, sequels to the prequels, prequels to the sequels, and TV spin-offs.
Then it lists all the "Dune", "Jurassic Park", "Avatar", and Marvel movies, plus DC's TWO attempts to start a cinematic universe . . . and just about every other overdone franchise you can name.
Then, after a quick appearance from Mel, we get a shot of Rick Moranis' cracked helmet, and the tagline: "The Schwartz Awakens in 2027." (Did they just give us the actual title of the movie?)
