Amazon MGM has announced the full cast for Spaceballs 2, with Rick Moranis officially confirmed to reprise his role as the iconic\u00a0Dark Helmet.<\/p>\n
Bill Pullman and Daphne Zuniga are back as\u00a0Lone Star and Princess, with\u00a0Josh Gad, Keke Palmer and Lewis Pullman among the new additions. They were previously reported to appear, and Superman star\u00a0Anthony Carrigan joins them, as does\u00a0George Wyner (he played\u00a0Colonel Sandurz in the 1987 classic).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Plus, it should go without saying that the legendary Mel Brooks is also back, returning to his three roles as\u00a0Zen Yiddish, Yogurt, and President Skroob. Spaceballs, which Brooks directed, grossed $38 million and remains a beloved classic in the eyes of many sci-fi fans.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Josh Greenbaum helms this follow-up from a script by\u00a0Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez (LEGO\u00a0Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy,\u00a0Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem), and Gad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No logline or synopsis has been revealed, while we don’t currently know how Gad, Palmer, and Pullman will play.\u00a0Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, and Jeb Brody are producing the film, alongside Brooks, Gad, Greenbaum, and Kevin Salter. Adam Merims, Samit, and Hernandez will executive produce.<\/p>\n
The cast was announced alongside a table read photo that’s meant to echo (parody?) the one released to mark Star Wars: The Force Awakens beginning production in 2014.<\/p>\n
“Well, I am not going to comment on whether or not Rick Moranis is returning, but hypothetically, if he were to return, I would say it’s because Rick would have felt like this was a project worthy of his return,” Gad teased<\/a> earlier this year. “So watch this space. But what I can say is it is surreal.”<\/p>\n “It’s surreal because I grew up with Spaceballs and when the movie was prophesized in the first film, when Yogurt says, ‘God willing, we’ll all meet again in Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money,’\u00a0I, like everyone else, was just anticipating that that would happen sooner than 40 years later.”<\/p>\n “But I am so grateful it took that long because it’s the greatest gift on Earth to be able to not only be on the precipice of shooting this movie, but to be able to do it while Mel is still with us,” the Frozen star continued.\u00a0“So I’m thrilled. I’m beyond excited, and that’s about all I can say for now.”<\/p>\n Spaceballs 2 is set to be released in theaters in 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n
