‘Spaceballs 2’ Is Officially On The Way, Teaser Trailer Drops

It’s official, Spaceballs 2 is going into full production. And luckily for us, most of the original cast is still alive and acting (RIP John Candy) and will be returning to the Star Wars parody when principal photography gets underway.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 1987 cult classic comedy will finally be getting the sequel that fans have been clamoring for since the late ’80s. With the likes of Mel Brooks, Rick Moranis, and Bill Pullman, the film will surely give us older heads all the nostalgic feelings we can handle. With that being the case, the franchise will introduce new yet familiar actors to the franchise including Josh Gad (Ghostbusters: Afterlife), Keke Palmer (NOPE), and Pullman’s real-life son, Lewis Pullman (Thunderbolts).

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that Lewis Pullman will play a character named Starburst, the sun of Queen Vespa (Zuniga) and Lone Starr (Bill Pullman). Franchise newcomer Palmer will play a role by the name of Destiny. The two, along with Gad, are the leads.

One has to comb the desert to find plot details, but Amazon amiably describes the new project this way: “While the title, plot details, and rest of cast are being kept under wraps, the film has been described by those who have not yet read the script as ‘A Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two’ but with Reboot Elements Franchise Expansion Film.”

Imagine’s Brian Grazer and Jeb Brody are producing alongside Gad, Brooks and Greenbaum. Kevin Slater, Adam Merims, Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez will executive produce.
