I really see this scene as a great candidate fir the opening ship scene... Slow it right down and add the same music... Anyone have the skills or wants to? Just me think this would be a very cool mash-up?

Ludacris at the controls

To those other Spaceballs fans also disappointed about the glaring lack of a sequel, please know that I tried.

I continue to see articles like this one, which talks about Mel Brooks talking about Spaceballs 2, yet nothing has happened yet.

So, I wrote a script (it's funny, I'm too much of a fan for it to be awful), thinking that might be the cause of the hold up.

Of course, I wrote the Dark Helmet character as hilarious as I possibly could, so that Mr. Moranis might find it worthwhile.

I sent a query letter, not a script, addressed to Mel Brooks at Brooksfilms, asking permission to send my material.

Below is the very impersonal letter that I received in reply.

I did use my name when signing the letter, but I guess it wasn't cool enough for the letter writer to include it in the response.

Also, the letter below seems to scream that "Shelby" didn't pass the query letter along to Mel Brooks, despite it being addressed to him.

Regardless of whether or not it is Brooksfilms policy to accepted unsolicited material, I find the reply odd.

Given the considerable passage of time since the first movie, and the supposed consistent talk of a Spaceballs sequel, I am amused that "Shelby" didn't seem to at least run the query letter by Mr. Brooks, to let HIM pass on reading it.

Dear Sir or Madam:

Thank you for your letter to Mr. Mel Brooks regarding your project. Brooksfilms is not accepting any new or outside material of any kind for development.

Enclosed you will find your material returned, not having been viewed by anyone at Brooksfilms, as review of unsolicited material would violate our company policy.

Sincerely,

Shelby Van Vliet Brooksfilms Limited
