Amazon MGM Studios has set Mel Brooks‘ long-awaited “Spaceballs” sequel to debut next spring.
The sci-fi spoof movie, which marks a return to acting for star Rick Moranis, will be released on April 23, 2027.
Moranis will reprise his role as Lord Dark Helmet alongside Brooks as the Yoda-esque being Yogurt, Bill Pullman as Lone Starr, Daphne Zuniga as Princess Vespa, and George Wyner as Colonel Sandurz. Newcomers to the goofy intergalactic adventure include Josh Gad, Keke Palmer, Lewis Pullman and Anthony Carrigan.
Josh Greenbaum, who is known for “Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar” and “Will & Harper,” is directing from a script by Gad, Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez. Like the original, the sequel is expected to riff on popular sci-fi franchises like “Star Wars,” “Star Trek” and “Alien.”
“While the title and plot details are being kept under wraps, the title is rumored to be the name of the movie, and plot details are being described as information about what happens in the story,” reads the film’s tongue-in-cheek synopsis. A prior logline described the film as a “non-prequel non-reboot sequel part two but with reboot elements franchise expansion film.”
Deadline first reported the dating news.
