Spaceballs, which was first released nearly 40 years ago, is getting a sequel in 2027 from Amazon MGM Studios.
A Spaceballs 2 announcement trailer posted Thursday doesn’t have any solid details besides the date, though it does poke fun at the entertainment industry’s obsession with franchises and spinoffs by listing many of them out. (I particularly liked “DCU attempt Number 1” and “DCU attempt Number 2.”)
Mel Brooks, who played Yogurt (a Yoda parody) in the original film, also makes an appearance. “After 40 years, we asked, ‘what do the fans want?’” he says. “But instead, we’re making this movie.” The film’s logline, according to Variety, is “A Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two but with Reboot Elements Franchise Expansion Film.”
Brooks will be reprising the role of Yogurt, and Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis will be back as Lone Starr and Dark Helmet, Deadline reports. Lewis Pullman (Bill Pullman’s son), Josh Gad, and Keke Palmer are also set to star in the film.
