SPACEBALLS 2 In the Works Starring Josh Gad, Mel Brooks to Produce

A sequel to the classic 1987 sci-fi parody Spaceballs is officially in development at Amazon MGM Studios, with the legendary Mel Brooks returning to produce.

Key players involved include:

• Josh Gad: Starring in the lead role and co-writing the screenplay.
• Mel Brooks: Producing the film, lending his official support and creative oversight.
• Josh Greenbaum: Directing (known for Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar).
• Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez: Co-writing the script with Gad (known for Detective Pikachu and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem).

The announcement fulfills the long-running joke from the original movie, where the character Yogurt (played by Brooks) teased a potential sequel titled Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money.

While plot details are currently being kept secret, the project has been rumored for some time, with Josh Gad fueling speculation by posting a picture of a script page earlier this year. The involvement of Mel Brooks is seen as a crucial element, giving the new film legitimacy for fans of the original.
