Mel Brooks will make a “Spaceballs” sequel and return as Yogurt. The original 1987 Star Wars parody was a classic that even George Lucas praised. But there was a catch: after reading the script, Lucas asked Brooks to not sell merchandise. Brooks agreed and instead made this scene in...

I wrote about how Lucas got the merchandising and sequel rights: Greatest Hollywood deal ever: studio offered $500k to direct Star Wars…he countered with $150k (a $350k paycut) in exchange for sequel rights..then parlayed success of Empire Strikes Back into merch rights:

Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis also signed on to do Lone Starr and Dark Helmet, respectively! Commence Ludicrous Speed!

Mel Brooks on the letters he received from fans who thought 'Spaceballs' (1987) was funnier than 'Star Wars' (1977): "'Spaceballs' (1987) went on to become one of the biggest hits in the Mel Brooks cinematic universe. I think I’ve autographed more 'Spaceballs' posters than for any other Mel Brooks film. I’ve even gotten some letters from young fans that saw 'Spaceballs' before they saw 'Star Wars' (1977). They would often ask me why 'Star Wars' wasn’t so funny." (Mel Brooks, 'Mel Brooks on the Making of Spaceballs', Mel Brooks, Literary Hub, 2021)

Mel Brooks on the only condition George Lucas imposed on Brooks before allowing him to make the satire on "Star Wars" (1977): "Spaceballs" (1987): "The same way I called Alfred Hitchcock to get his blessings on 'High Anxiety' (1977), I sent the 'Spaceballs' script to 'Star Wars' (1977) creator George Lucas. If not to get his blessing, then certainly to give him a heads-up on what I was doing vis-à-vis Star Wars. He was kind enough to read it and respond. He said he had seen 'Blazing Saddles' (1974) and 'Young Frankenstein' (1974) and was a big fan. He enjoyed the script, and only had one real caveat for me: no action figures. He explained that if I made toys of my Spaceballs characters they would look a lot like Star Wars action figures. And that would be a no-no for his lawyers and his studio’s business affairs department. So he gave his blessing to make my funny satiric takeoff of Star Wars as long as I promised that we would not sell any action figures. I said, “You’re absolutely right.” And that was one of the rules we didn’t break. So even though in the movie itself we have Dark Helmet playing with action figures… we never sold any. The exchange with George Lucas also triggered a beloved comedy scene in which a character that I played, Yogurt, a takeoff on Yoda, responds to Lone Starr’s question of “What is this place? What is it that you do here?” with a whole exposé of the movie business. So even though we didn’t actually do any commercial merchandising, we still had a lot of fun with the scene. And over the years Spaceballs movie fans have sent me more than one mockup of “Spaceballs: The Breakfast Cereal.”" ("Mel Brooks on the Making of Spaceballs", Mel Brooks, Literary Hub, 2021)

Prior to the release of "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" (1977), George Lucas screened a rough cut of the movie which was "mostly filled with stock footage of old war movies, and all kinds of stuff" to some of his friends in the film industry. Most of them thought it was a disaster. Brian De Palma was especially sarcastic in a good-natured way, teasing Lucas about the “almighty Force” and indicating that the rough cut version of the film was one of the "worst things" he had ever seen. Even Lucas thought the film was not going to be successful. He said, “I figured, well, it’s just a silly movie. It ain’t going to work.”" But Steven Spielberg was among the two who thought otherwise. He said, ‘This is going to be the biggest movie of all time’. Everybody in the room looked up at him and said, ‘Poor Steven.'” Jay cocks was the other one who praised the movie. However, Lucas' filmmaker friends helped him fix up "Star Wars" even though "they didn't have any faith in it." ("Skywalking: The Life and Films of George Lucas", Dale Pollock, 1999 & "George Lucas was convinced 'Star Wars' would flop and refused to believe it was a hit until he got a call telling him to turn on the news", kirsten Acuna, Business Insider, 2021 ) P.S: On this day, 49 years ago, "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" (1977) was released in the USA.

George Lucas created Star Wars to be a homage to the pulpy Flash Gordon Saturday afternoon serials, and yes he intended it for kids. That’s the Star Wars movie Jon Favreau made, and some “critics” are mad that it’s not Oppenheimer.

Star Wars used to really mean something. It’s not just that the original trilogy was a great story, it’s that George Lucas spoiled us with exceptional filmmaking. Compared to the Star Wars films we see now, Empire Strikes Back almost feels like an arthouse movie. Take me back.

The legendary actor and director Mel Brooks once said that there was no greater joy for him than singing in Polish. His famous connection to singing in Polish comes from his 1983 film, To Be or Not to Be. In the movie, Brooks and his late wife Anne Bancroft perform a show-stopping, highly choreographed rendition of the jazz classic "Sweet Georgia Brown" entirely in Polish.

Richard Brooks on why a Film director is like a writer: "I believe a film director is a writer. He uses film to tell a story instead of words. He should be able to translate an idea, a string of words, a face, body movement, streets, forest, crowd, into an image. When the image is projected on the screen it should be capable of evoking emotion because primarily the film deals with emotion, not intellect." ("Tough as Nails - The Life and Films of Richard Brooks", Douglass K. Daniel, 2011) Clip from: In Cold Blood (1967) Director: Richard Brooks

JUST IN: Country music star Garth Brooks accused of r*ping makeup artist in a hotel room who worked for his wife. The alleged assault happened at an LA Grammy event in May of 2019. The following details may be disturbing to some: According to the lawsuit, Brooks booked a single hotel room for the both of them. When the woman asked for a separate room, Brooks refused. She says when they were alone in the hotel, Brooks approached her in the doorway with no clothes on, dragged her into a separate room, and "dangled her upside down by the ankles." He then r*ped her according to the lawsuit. The makeup artist says he was so violent that it "felt as if she were breaking in two." In a separate incident, the woman claims she was at Brooks' house, waiting to apply his makeup, when he emerged with no clothes on with an er*ction. "He then placed her hands on his er*ction, telling her that he harbored fantasies that she would perform fellat*o on him while wearing her glasses until he eventually climaxed onto her face," according to the Daily Mail. Brooks is a vocal activist who has preached about "love and tolerance" and even performed at Biden's inauguration.
