The trailer starts with Ewan MacGregor’s elderly mother (Ellen Burstin) refusing to get off of a furniture store couch. Looks like a family drama until the trailer suddenly veers into Mother! territory. Looks unfun.

Does Chuck Norris still have it at the age of 84?...

Now I’m not going to pretend the original three are sacrosanct and perfect examples and that, but they are classics, and very very funny. And most of that came from a dream team of writers and actors, all of whom seemed to be on the same wavelength, able to make comedic performances appear deadpan.
The good news for my brain thinks is I can see Liam Neeson in the role. And I accept it may be a different style of comedy. But I’m seriously concerned that it’s doomed to suck.
Also of note, Paul Walter Hauser will be playing Frank Drebin's partner, Ed.(despite Ed being his captain in the original films ).
A few more names have been added to the cast. Per Deadline, Liza Koshy, Cody Rhodes, CCH Pounder and Busta Rhymes will be appearing in the film, with Cody Rhodes' appearance will be a cameo.

Another film from Yergo…Yurgl…the director of Poor Things. The trailer gave me no idea what it could be about.

The second trailer dropped. It’s a but more mainstream and less flashy than the first trailer, but I am still psyched. Sadly, I will be out of town when the movie comes out in theaters, and seeing how the box office is doing it will probably be out of theaters before I get a chance.
A “Spaceballs” sequel is in development at Amazon MGM Studios. Josh Gad is set to star, and will produce alongside Mel Brooks.
Josh Greenbaum will direct the film from a screenplay by Benji Samit, Dan Hernandez, and Gad, while Kevin Salter will executive produce. The project is in early stages, and plot details are being kept under wraps. Amazon declined to comment.
Writing duo Samit and Hernandez are best known for their work as screenwriters for “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem,” “Pokemon Detective Pikachu,” “Addams Family 2,” and the upcoming Disney+/Lucasfilm special “Lego Star Wars: Rebuild The Galaxy.”
The original 1987 MGM film “Spaceballs” starred Bill Pullman as Lone Star, John Candy as Barf, Daphne Zuniga as Princess Vespa, Rick Moranis as Lord Dark Helmet and Brooks as President Skroob and Yogurt. The space opera is a parody of both the “Star Wars” franchise and other popular sci-fi franchises like “Star Trek” and “Alien.”
Gad, best known for his work on Broadway in “The Book of Mormon” and as the voice of lovable snowman Olaf in the “Frozen” franchise, is next set to make his directorial debut with a Chris Farley biopic starring Paul Walter Hauser as the iconic comedian. He most recently starred alongside his “Book of Mormon” co-star Andrew Rannells in “Gutenberg! The Musical!” on Broadway.
This isn’t Brooks’ first time revisiting a classic comedy in recent years. In 2023, he wrote and produced “History of the World, Part II,” a follow-up to his 1981 “Part I” feature. Brooks, one of the few entertainers to boast prestigious EGOT status, directed and starred in films such as “Blazing Saddles,” “Young Frankenstein” and “Robin Hood: Men in Tights.” He was also honored with the Career Achievement Award at the 84th Annual Peabody Awards earlier this month.

First one was a decent and somewhat different type of horror movie though it did kind of fizzle out towards the end, from what I remember. Felt like a different kind of The Ring or It Follows.
The PR campaign leading up to the release of the first one was pretty awesome. They had people in the stands of baseball games just constantly staring with a big old gak eating grin at the cameras. Was creepy and went somewhat viral. Wonder what they got in store for us this year, if it hasn't started already.
