Mel Brooks confirmed Spaceballs 2 with a pitch-perfect announcement
The Schwartz is strong with comedy legend Mel Brooks as he formally announced on Thursday that the long-anticipated Spaceballs sequel will be flying into theaters in 2027.
Brooks, who will turn 99 on June 28, gleefully shared in the hilarious announcement video that, rather than giving the fans what they want, they're making another Spaceballs instead. Of course, he was rocking a "Spaceballs: The Sweatshirt" ... sweatshirt.
He will reportedly reprise his role as Yoda spoof Yogurt in the new film, which makes it all even cooler.
Bill Pullman (Lone Starr) and Rick Moranis (Dark Helmet) will both reportedly return in the new project, while Josh Gad (a co-writer on the project) and Keke Palmer are reported new additions to the cast. Josh Greenbaum (Strays) is directing.
Moranis' return is a particular big deal since he has not acted in a theatrical film since 1996.
While we have no idea what's in store for this new Spaceballs film, one can only imagine how much there is for Brooks and company to spoof this time around.
May the Schwartz be with us all as we wait for 2027, which we hopes gets here with ludicrous speed.
