Mel Brooks' Spaceballs Returns for 'Search for More Money'
5 Aug
Summary
- A Spaceballs sequel is set to hit theaters in April 2027.
- Josh Gad is spearheading the new film, co-written by him.
- The sequel was inspired by a joke from Gad's young daughter.
Decades after its original release, Mel Brooks' beloved comedy Spaceballs is making a comeback with a sequel titled Spaceballs: The New One. Slated for an April 2027 theatrical debut, the film is being spearheaded and co-written by actor and comedian Josh Gad.
The inspiration for the sequel reportedly came from a simple, yet profound, question posed by Gad's young daughter. While watching the original Spaceballs, she questioned why a sequel had never been made, echoing the joke made by Brooks' character, Yogurt, about a "Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money."
This new installment aims to recapture the irreverent sci-fi spoof's unique humor. Adding to the anticipation, actor Rick Moranis, who has been largely retired from Hollywood for nearly three decades, is expected to join the cast. The creative team faces the significant challenge of delivering a sequel worthy of the original's legacy.
