Spaceballs Special Edition DVD On The Way
Another DVD double dip anyone? On May 3rd, MGM will release a new special edition of Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs. Of course, the movie is a classic but I don’t know how many people are that interested in having the “ultimate” Spaceballs DVD. Special features will include an audio commentary track by Mel Brooks (I assume the same one on the original DVD release), as well as Spaceballs: The Documentary, a featurette called “John Candy: Comic Spirit”, “In Conversation: Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan”, outtakes, photos, costume and art galleries, and a storyboard to film comparison. Sounds like a dream come true for the 2 or 3 hardcore Spaceballs fans out there. I’m not sure but I have a feeling this new DVD has something to do with the fact that Mel Brooks is currently writing a sequel to Spaceballs. Whether or not you can actually rekindle interest in a movie like this however, remains to be seen.

I recently read that his plans to make a Spaceballs sequel may now take the form of a Spaceballs animated series that lampoons the Star Wars prequels and LOTR. Sounds kinda weird but if he’s really looking to continue with Spaceballs a live action film would be his best bet. I’m dying to see the SW prequels cut up but they’re already a mockery on their own.
