    The Spaceballs Sequel You Didn’t Know You Wanted Is In Development

    A Return to the Galaxy Far, (But Not That) Far Away…We Hope

    Almost 40 years ago, Mel Brooks created Spaceballs, a film that is fondly remembered as a “space opera parody.” The 1987 classic took aim at Star Wars, among other sci-fi staples, with a unique blend of humor and satire. Featuring a princess, a scoundrel, a gold droid, a furry sidekick, and the unforgettable Dark Helmet, Spaceballs delivered a comedic twist on the beloved Star Wars franchise.

    Despite the movie’s success and enduring cult following, no one expected—or even asked for—a sequel. But, in a surprising twist, a sequel is now in development at Amazon MGM Studios.


    The Team Behind the Sequel

    Variety reports that Mel Brooks, now 97, is set to return as a producer for this sequel. The project is in the early stages of development and will star Josh Gad, who is also onboard as a producer. Gad, known for his roles in Frozen and Central Park, expressed his excitement on social media, stating, “Early days still, but working with the legendary Mel freaking Brooks to make something worthy of this franchise and his legacy has been a dream come true.”

    Josh Greenbaum, director of Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar, will helm the film. The screenplay is a collaborative effort by Gad, Benji Samit, and Dan Hernandez. Samit and Hernandez bring a wealth of experience, having worked on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and Detective Pikachu.


    Revisiting a Cult Classic

    The original Spaceballs featured a star-studded cast, including Bill Pullman, John Candy, Daphne Zuniga, and Rick Moranis. It parodied Star Wars with characters like Lone Starr, Barf, Princess Vespa, and the villainous Dark Helmet. Moranis’ portrayal of Dark Helmet remains a standout, adding to the film’s comedic charm and quotability.

    While plot details for the sequel are still under wraps, fans are eager to see how the new film will pay homage to the original. Gad has promised that the sequel will be everything fans have “waited 37 long years for,” and there is hope that familiar faces from the original might make an appearance, particularly Moranis, who has been semi-retired for years.


    Brooks’ Recent Ventures

    This isn’t the first time Mel Brooks has revisited his earlier works. Last year, Hulu released History of the World, Part II, a follow-up to Brooks’ 1981 film. The series featured a collaboration with Nick Kroll, Wanda Sykes, and Ike Barinholtz and was described by the AV Club as feeling “like Drunk History with PG-rated dad jokes.”

    Brooks, whose career includes classics like Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and The Producers, continues to be a significant figure in comedy. His return to the Spaceballs universe has generated significant buzz and anticipation.


    Will Rick Moranis Return?

    One of the burning questions for fans is whether Rick Moranis will reprise his role as Dark Helmet. Moranis has been semi-retired since 2006, with his last acting role in Brother Bear 2. His potential return would undoubtedly add a layer of excitement and nostalgia to the sequel. However, his involvement remains uncertain.

    The sequel is still in the early stages, and no release date has been set. Amazon MGM Studios, known for keeping details under tight wraps, has not disclosed any specifics about the plot or the return of original cast members. However, the creative team’s dedication to honoring the legacy of the original film suggests that fans can expect a faithful and hilarious continuation of the Spaceballs saga.

    As the development of Spaceballs 2 progresses, fans of both Spaceballs and Star Wars can look forward to a new chapter in the parody series. With Mel Brooks at the helm and Josh Gad leading the charge, the sequel promises to deliver the humor and satire that made the original a classic. Whether it captures the magic of the first film remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the galaxy far, far away will never be the same.
