Uh, Mel Brooks — who turns 99 June 28th — announcing a new “Spaceballs” movie…in 2027?
No sense waiting around, I guess.
A script? A Rick Moranis appearance? Bill Pullman? (Yes and yes, apparently). Mel himself? (Of course). He’s also announced Wild Child Keke Palmer is on board.
Otherwise, all we really know is that Mel will be back and that the wheels are in motion. Not sure how much demand there is for a 38 year old spoof sequel. But the crawl has a few smirks in it.
The “original” film felt kind of dated when it came out ten years after “Star Wars.” So? Sure. It could happen. There’s a lot more sci-fi cinema and streaming targets to poke fun at this time.
