HOLY SHIT, RICK MORANIS IS COMING BACK!
(And a bunch of other original cast members too, which is also very cool, but Rick Moranis basically quit acting to be a stay-at-home dad three decades ago and this is the project significant enough to lure him back. It’s gotta be a pretty good script if it’s capable of that!)

My wife says dogs don’t live that long so they can spin it that way 🙂↕️.

I’m worried he just got into the chocolate on the ship. I hope they got a really nice shoebox and a lovely plot in the yard for him. He was his own best friend after all.

I didn’t think we have the technology to bring him back
ameancow@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
We sort of do but it will be a nightmare abomination of stitched together dead things.
(I’m talking about AI, not actual frankenstein tech, John probably would have been cool with that way of coming back.)

We kinda do have it, but it would be wrong to do so. Has much has I love to see John Candy in a new movie it just wouldn’t be him.
But they will do this with some dead celebrity for sure mark my word. Hell they done it before with shitter technology. Just look up the John Wayne Budweswire commercial from the 90’s if you an example.

He’s been trying to get back into acting for a while now. This is a great movie for fans to get to see him in.

I would love it he and Dave Thomas reunited for more Great White North. They could be old dudes with Gen Z grandkids.

WOW! After his wife died and he took a step back from acting - perhaps not shrinking his kids in the mean time - it has to be good if he’s in it! (Though, due to all the previous reboots/sequels/rehashing of previous IP), it probably won’t be :(

I have a feeling it will be a disappointment. Not because the quality of the movie will have changed, but because all of us have changed.

There’s an interview that he did recently floating around YouTube. He seems like he’s ready to be back.

I want to see a super serious trailer with Dark Helmet a la Darth Vader… with an optional comedic break near the end.

I was wondering if he was coming back. Really the most important character
jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
It would also be impossible to replace him. I’d say that imo it was his most iconic role.

Also the movie’s most iconic character.
