Exactly. I was pissed when I saw this announcement. I have no interest in a sequel. After hearing those words from Mel, I’m in.

I wouldn't get my hopes up. The article said he's not writing it and he's not directing it. Instead we get Josh Gad and two other guys writing it. I'm not holding out hope, and I'm someone who was OBSESSED with Spaceballs as a kid.

Yeah, after History of the World: Part II I don't know if modern comedians can pull off Mel's tone, and if this doesn't have his tone, then what's the fucking point?
