'Spaceballs 2' cast
The new cast includes Josh Gad, Keke Palmer, Anthony Carrigan, and Lewis Pullman, Bill Pullman’s son. Josh Gad described filming as a “bizarre simulation,” underscoring the film’s playful energy.
Josh Greenbaum, known for “Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar,” is directing from a script by Gad, Benji Samit, and Dan Hernandez. Similar to the original, the sequel is likely to parody major sci-fi franchises, including Star Wars, Star Trek, and Alien.
Last summer, Brooks teased the sequel, joking regarding decades of franchise diversifications in sci-fi and mentioning, “There has only ever been one ‘Spaceballs.’ Until now…”
Notably, further details regarding the Spaceballs 2 remain under wraps. Amazon MGM’s synopsis described it as a “non-prequel non-reboot sequel part two but with reboot elements franchise expansion film.”
