For almost 30 years, we have patiently waited for a sequel to Spaceballs and it looks Rick Moranis killed all hopes for it. Even though, Mel Brooks said he working on it last year.
Last night, Moranis voiced Black Helmet on The Goldbergs and the actor got a lot of love from the fans. Therefore, after the West Coast airing of the sitcom, he tweeted, “Thank you for all the love Twitter. Its not Spaceballs 2, but it’s the closest we’ll get :D.” Does that mean it is not going to happen? We do not know, but it looks to be the case.
This post is not all little shop of horrors. Moranis is taking off his hiatus chastity belt to appear on Netflix’s SCTV comedy special along with Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Catherine O’Hara, Martin Short and Dave Thomas that will stream next year. It will be nice to see what he looks like under the Black Helmet these days because I miss the sweet face that gave us Seymour Krelboyne on the big screen.
Side note, if you live in Toronto or will be there this weekend, then you can still get tickets to Sunday for An Afternoon with SCTV moderated by Jimmy Kimmel.
