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!)
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 if he and Dave Thomas reunited for more Great White North. They could be old dudes with Gen Z grandkids.
I was wondering if he was coming back. Really the most important character
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.
What about John Candy though!!!!!
Gonna miss him as Barf. RIP
My wife says dogs don't live that long so they can spin it that way 🙂↕️.
God damn it, man. Sobs
I know right. If they don't find a way to honor him I will be very disappointed. Better be big goddamn statue of him in that movie.
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.
My wife brought that up about chocolate. I prefer the age thing myself, seems more dignified to me.
I think John Candy would have found it funnier to not be dignified. But he'd also likely just be honored anyways to be included.
True, can't wait to see how this turns out. Rick Morrison making his comeback with this movie is the greatest news I've heard in a long time.
Same. I hope we get some great parody movies out of these times, and this is a pretty wild one to get a sequel for. It's like Christmas if Santa got drunk and forgot to deliver toys for a decade but really made up for it when he got sober again.
Just an absolute joy.
I didn't think we have the technology to bring him back
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. As 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 want an example.
I want to see a super serious trailer with Dark Helmet a la Darth Vader... with an optional comedic break near the end.
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...right? 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.
