Amazon confirms 98-year-old star will return in sequel to iconic 80s comedy
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Beloved 80s space comedy Spaceballs is actually coming back after 40 years — and so is Mel Brooks. The 1987 classic will finally get a sequel to mark 40 years since it first hit cinemas and roasted almost every major movie along with it. Spaceballs, which has gathered a cult following since its release, is primarily a spoof of Star Wars but also parodies Alien, Star Trek, and more. Even the Wizard of Oz wasn't safe from Mel's cutting comedy, with the actor having co-written, produced and directed as well as playing two characters. The as-yet untitled sequel will see the return of the 98-year-old actor, who is soon to turn 99, because how could it possibly be made without him. Little is known about the Amazon MGM Studios production other than it is due to reach theatres in 2027. Mel posted a video on his X account, teasing which franchises could be in his sights and ridiculing the sequel culture we're currently living in. 'I told you we'd be back,' he wrote in bold letters before the familiar Star Wars (or Spaceballs) blue writing scrolled before fans. It read: 'Thirty-eight years ago, there was only one Star Wars trilogy. But since then there have been… A prequel trilogy, a sequel trilogy, a sequel to the prequel, a prequel to the sequel, countless TV spinoffs, a movie spinoff of the TV spinoff which is both a prequel and a sequel.' As the fanfare played, names of numerous other franchises were displayed such as seven Jurassic Parks, '36 MCU movies with two different Robert Downey Jr.'s' and 'DCU attempt number one' and 'number two'. The video cut to Mel wearing a Spaceballs sweatshirt as he said: 'After 40 years, we asked 'what do the fans want?' But instead, we're making this movie.' Fans of the cult classic will remember his golden painted face as Yoghurt, the spoof version of Star Wars' Yoda who upholds the good side of 'the Schwartz'. Mel also appeared as President Skroob — Brooks written backwards — who is the useless leader of Planet Spaceballs. Deadline confirmed that the EGOT winner is not the only original cast member returning, either. Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis will reprise their roles as Lone Starr and Lord Dark Helmet (parodies of Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, respectively). Joining the cast is Keke Palmer who is almost as well-known for her comedy off-screen as she is for her acting on-screen. More Trending The Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two but with Reboot Elements Franchise Expansion Film is being kept incredibly under wraps. This will be the first time Rick, 72, will appear in a live-action movie since 1997 and the first film appearance at all since he voiced Rutt in Brother Bear 2 (2006). He's been living life away from Hollywood since then, keeping out of the spotlight — until now. Hopefully, Spaceballs 2 will be worthy of his re-emergence after three decades. Only time will tell so may the Schwartz be with you, Spaceballs 2 cast. Got a story?

‘It was simply mind-blowing': readers remember seeing Star Wars for the first time
A relatively long time ago in cinemas near and far away, the first Star Wars film captivated a generation of children and adults. As the British Film Institute in London this week screens the original 1977 theatrical version of the space opera, which has rarely been shown since the 1990s, readers have shared their recollections of its groundbreaking special effects, iconic heroes and villains, and queueing around the block for tickets. Most of those who responded to a Guardian callout recalled being mesmerised by the film's opening crawl, then 'blown away' by the first scene in which Princess Leia's starship is captured by an immense Imperial Star Destroyer. 'It loomed right over our heads in the theatre, immediately putting us in the action, alerting us to the huge stakes in this world,' said Marilyn Stacey, a 68-year-old paralegal and actor from Portland, Oregon, who saw the film with her boyfriend in Westwood, Los Angeles, soon after it opened in the US in May 1977. Many readers said Star Wars was the first 'grownup' film they saw as children, with their few previous trips to the cinema being for Disney films such as Mary Poppins or the Herbie comedies about a sentient Volkswagen Beetle. Mark Hannaby, who was six in 1978 when his father drove him from the suburbs of Wrexham, north-east Wales, to see the film at the biggest screen nearby at the Odeon in Liverpool, recalled how it captured his imagination. 'At that age, I don't think you expect the external world to correspond with your internal world,' said Hannaby, 52, now a journalism lecturer at the University of Chester. 'Dad said my face never left the screen. I was hungry for the story, and unusually uninterested in the wine gums he offered. Even for years afterwards, nothing really compared to it.' Lois Pass, from Southend-on-Sea, who didn't have a TV at home when she saw the film as a teenager in 1978, agreed. 'To suddenly see battles taking place in space, travel faster than the speed of light, plus this mysterious power – the Force – in a galactic battle between good and evil was simply mind-blowing,' she said. Like many readers, Cliff Ramshaw's anticipation for the film had been fuelled by its merchandising. By the time it came out in the UK, Ramshaw, now 58, had already read the novelisation and part of the Marvel comic book adaptation, and had decorated his school haversack with drawings of X-wings and Tie fighters. Unfortunately, his father did not share his enthusiasm for the film when he took him and his younger brother to see it in Sunderland in 1978. 'We arrived early and Dad, not wanting to hang around, took us in straight away [to an earlier screening],' he recalled. 'We sat down just in time to see the attack on the Death Star. After the movie ended we remained seated while the audience left and a new crowd arrived. We saw the beginning and middle of the movie and then, when the attack on the Death Star was about to start, Dad took us out of the cinema and drove us home!' Ramshaw, who now lives in the Cotswolds, didn't get to see the film the whole way through until it was aired on British TV four years later. But his unusual viewing experience did not dampen his love for Star Wars, and he later became a software engineer at George Lucas's visual effects company Industrial Light & Magic. Luke Skywalker's journey from a farm boy on a backwater planet to a hero of the rebellion particularly enraptured readers who had grown up in small or remote communities. Back in 1978, Pass, who grew up in the Essex coastal town of Shoeburyness, was grappling with discomfort about her 'lowly position on the social scale' at the local grammar school. 'There was Luke, a poor, scruffy, nobody from nowhere, just like me, suddenly plucked from obscurity to discover his true calling. Obi-Wan Kenobi revealing that there is a whole lot more to his life than he could ever have imagined [was] a potent message!' Many women who responded to the callout recalled how enamoured they were with Princess Leia's attitude. Rebecca Pollock, a HR worker from Brisbane, Australia, said: 'For a young girl, growing up in a country town in Queensland, watching an amazing heroine like Princess Leia dominate her world gave me a role model who was brave, adventurous and strong in the face of adversity. I loved it when she looked up at Darth Vader and talked back to him, and her banter with Han Solo. Her wit and sarcastic approach was so different to what I'd seen women be.' It wasn't just children and teenagers who were enraptured. Milton Justice, a former artistic director of the Stella Adler Academy of Acting and Theatre, saw the film after Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia, auditioned for a part in a murder-mystery film he was producing. 'I remember Carrie's audition, because she was very quirky as an actor. She didn't get the part. After Star Wars opened, I went back into the company and said: 'Are you guys crazy?' I later knew her socially. She really was one of the funniest people ever. Even some of the line readings she did in Star Wars had that kind of way that she saw life.' Justice, who now runs a podcast about acting, said back then many people in the movie industry thought Star Wars was just a one-off. 'In an odd sense, we might have been more respectful of the story than the special effects. I don't blame Star Wars for the fact that so many movies today have so many special effects that you don't even see the story. I think it's very separate from those kind of films.'

JoJo Siwa slams Miley Cyrus as she makes 'in the closet dig' and feud erupts
JoJo Siwa didn't take kindly to Miley Cyrus comments regarding her relationship with Chris Hughes and has defiantly hit back. Flowers songstress Miley, 32, caused outrage earlier in the week after a snarky joke about the 22-year-old former Dance Moms star's sexuality. She poked fun at JoJo in a clip shared at World Pride over the weekend. The video saw Miley speaking from inside a closet. She said: "Oh, my God, I haven't been in here since sixth grade! Enjoy coming out of the closet if this Pride is the time for you. It shouldn't be a month - it should be a year; it should be infinite." Despite the initial positive message, Miley then quipped: "I'm going back inside to get more pretzels and find JoJo Siwa and bring her back out." However the comment wasn't well received by the Karma singer who confessed the comment wasn't "what the world, or myself needs to hear any day of the week". While there seemed to be discontent, JoJo tried to shake off the jibe, insisting it is "all love" between the duo. She admitted, however, that it is hard to hear such judgement from "someone you love, and look up to". JoJo took to Instagram to share a lengthy post about her admiration for Miley, showing snaps from her Miley-themed fifth birthday party. She also uploaded images of herself with her idol, as well as a picture of her in a jumper printed with the singer's face on. Explaining how the former Hannah Montana star had inspired her as a youngster, JoJo confessed she "wasn't sure how I felt about things for a couple of days," after hearing the comments. However, she has said she doesn't think the quip was ill intended - simply calling it a not very good joke. She added in the upload's caption: " I messaged miley light heartedly about it and she replied and said 'All love. Always." JoJo continued: "Honestly the most beautiful thing I've learned in the last 5 years is that love is a gorgeous rainbow. Don't question yourself, don't second guess yourself, just love. Love love love love love. "People judge no matter what, and it can be very hard, especially when it comes from someone you love, and look up to… but if you feel happy and content with yourself, that's most important. You get one life… hold onto it, make it yours, find your happy, and love." The comments came after JoJo and fellow Celebrity Big Brother housemate Chris went public with their relationship. The duo continue to showcase the blossoming romance in sweet social media uploads. Recently, JoJo spent time with the former Love Island star and his family in the Cotswolds. She also told Capital Breakfas t presenter Jordan North earlier this week how tight their bond has become. "You know what's interesting? As hectic as life is, and as much as that noise goes on, I feel like Christopher and I discovered this beautiful house together," she gushed. "And this house is earthquake proof, and it's fireproof, and bulletproof. "And you know, we discovered this house and found the keys, and we took the keys and locked ourselves in, and now it's like... You know what I mean? I feel like that with myself, I feel like that with him."
