Speaking with Gad about his new Dark Horse comic, The Writer, the Wolf Like Me actor said MGM would lock him in a Culver prison cell if he shared too many details about his Spaceballs sequel. Still, he did say, “Everybody who’s read it has been blown away. The process of working on this with and alongside Mel Brooks has been one of the highlights of my career.”
When pressed for more details, Gad continued, “It was sort of a fever dream that this all happened. Mel has been so unbelievably supportive, involved, and electrified by this because it’s the one that surprisingly got away. It’s a dream to be able to finally make the reality prophesied by Yogurt in the first movie happen. I can’t say more than that. I can’t tell you anything beyond [the] process at this point, but I can tell you every hour of every day right now is spent making this project closer and closer to reality — and I think we’re nearing the end zone here.”
They’ve finally found more money?
Nope, this is them searching for it.
He’s definitely not Mel Brooks.
No, but if this has Mel’s blessing, I’ll hold out a little hope.
Let’s see the size of his Schwartz first
I for one have never liked Josh Gad, never found him witty, never found him funny, whenever I’m watching a production with Josh Gad in it the entire production becomes middling in my estimation. I do not like Josh Gad, and I’m surprised he’s still a thing.
He was good in Avenue 5.
His only two good roles were in Avenue 5 and the episode he did for Party Down.
And by good roles I mean, they both feel like he’s playing an exaggerated version of himself: whiney, self-important, and delusional.
Funny though, at least in the only thing of his I’ve seen.
Loved him in Avenue 5 and The Comedians and those are the only 2 things I know him from. The Comedians was a 1 season FX in which Billy Crystal and Josh Gad play themselves being forced to work together on a project. I highly recommend checking out the episode about them getting stoned before going to the Kids Choice Awards.
Grabbed, thanks for the recommendation.
He had a fun episode in New Girl as Bearclaw
Never heard anyone with this take but apparently 5 people agree with you. I find him talented and delightful.
Do you find yourself looking for opinions on him often?
Because I bet you sought them out, you would find that comment to be extremely mild criticism by comparison.
But who cares. Enjoy what you enjoy
I’ve never even heard of him in the first place.
Rather fund Scavengers Reign
Stop remaking movies and sequels nobody asked for! Fucking hell, pay writers for original material.
