This item is from Ain't It Cool News, so take it with a grain of salt, but it looks like Mel Brooks is planning a Spaceballs sequel.
Playbill : Will you have a role in it [The Producers musical movie]?MB : It's doubtful, but I'm writing myself back into the Spaceballs sequel that I'm now writing, so you haven't seen the last of my face. Why another Spaceballs? It wouldn't feel right have anyone else play Yoghurt and the first one was the best experience I've had making a movie since Blazing Saddles.
Playbill : When can we expect that?
MB : Best case scenario : a week before the new Star Wars opens. Worst Case Scenario : a year after the new star wars opens.
Mel Brooks' post-Spaceballs films haven't been very good--Life Stinks, anyone? But The Producers muscial is, by all accounts, extremely good (I haven't it seen it myself). So hopefully Mel Brooks can pull off one last great movie. Lord knows the sci-fi genre since Spaceballs is ripe for parody.

Maybe he'll just release a special edition of the original with added CGI effects. THAT'S a parody.
