Mel Brooks' 'Spaceballs' put a comedic dent in the sci-fi genre when it crashed onto the space-opera scene in 1987. Now, prequels and sequels later, it's back.

The upcoming film will feature returning stars Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis, alongside a new cast that includes Keke Palmer and Josh Gad. It's described as a "non-prequel non-reboot sequel part two, but with reboot elements franchise expansion film," which feels perfectly on-brand for a movie that once sold branded toilet paper as a punchline.

The 98-year-old Mel Brooks will reprise his role of Yogurt in the upcoming sequel to 'Spaceballs' for Amazon MGM Studios.

Lewis Pullman is set to join the cast of the upcoming Spaceballs 2, where he will play the son of his real-life father Bill Pullman ’s character, Lone Starr. Yesterday, 98-year-old comedy legend Mel Brooks announced his personal involvement in the long-awaited sequel to his popular Star Wars spoof.

Judging by its announcement teaser, 'Spaceballs 2" could be gearing up to target an even broader range of targets. The teaser is a send-up of the famous "Star Wars" opening crawl, and it aptly and hilariously sums up the last few decades of science fiction franchises.
