40 years later…
Get ready to comb the desert, again.
A Spaceballs sequel is officially launching April 27, 2027, exactly 40 years after Mel Brooks first strapped on his helmet and spoofed a galaxy far, far away.
The original 1987 cult classic is finally getting a follow-up, with Amazon MGM Studios dropping the date alongside a delightly ridiculous teaser that mocks Star Wars’ endless prequels, sequels, and spinoffs.
The cast is a nostalgia bomb: Bill Pullman, Daphne Zuniga, the 99-year-old Brooks himself, and a returning Rick Moranis, ending his long acting hiatus. Josh Gad co-wrote and co-stars, calling it “the greatest gift of my life.”
New faces include Keke Palmer, Anthony Carrigan, and Lewis Pullman (Bill’s real-life son). Josh Greenbaum directs.
The title remains a mystery, rumoured to be “the name of the movie,” while the plot is described as a “non-prequel non-reboot sequel part two with reboot elements.”
Ludicrous speed? More like ludicrously anticipated.
