Lewis Pullman has spoken to Collider’s Steve Weintraub about Spaceballs 2, sharing that the spoof sequel “has so much of Mel’s DNA in it”.
“When I read the script, it’s just wildly well-designed. It’s just some brilliant writing that went into it. It has so much of Mel’s DNA in it, and then Josh Greenbaum is the dream director. He has such a close relationship with Mel, and he has such a good sense for that kind of humor. It was a really incredibly great experience. It was so fun to be able to just do full-blown comedy in that way, and remember that full-blown comedy — it all comes back to this, it’s almost like Ann Lee — it only works if there’s full conviction. It only sells itself if you fully, truly believe it in the moment.”
Spaceballs 2 will arrive in 2027 with returning cast members Daphne Zuniga, Rick Moranis, and George Wyner, as well as newcomers Josh Gad (who also co-wrote the script), Keke Palmer, and Anthony Carrigan.
