New Spaceballs Movie Coming in 2027, Mel Brooks Reprising Role! Spaceballs has to be one of my favorite movies from when I was a kid, very quotable still to this day. It’s a parody of Star Wars films that has been adopted by the community over the years. Today, Mel Brooks announced that he will be reprising his role as “Yogurt” in the new movie set for a 2027 release.
Brooks, who directed and starred in the original film, had already been set to produce. Parodying Star Wars‘ Jedi Master Yoda, his character Yogurt is an alien who in the original served as a mentor to Lone Starr (Bill Pullman). Described by those who have not yet read the script as “A Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two but with Reboot Elements Franchise Expansion Film.” Rick Moranis and Bill Pullman will be reprising their original characters from the first film.
Plot details are being kept under wraps. Josh Greenbaum will direct from a script by Benji Samit, Dan Hernandez, and Josh Gad, as announced in June of last year. Gad is also expected to star and will produce alongside Imagine Entertainment’s Brian Grazer and Jeb Brody, Brooks, and Greenbaum, with Kevin Salter, Adam Merims, Samit, and Hernandez exec producing.
Released by MGM in 1987, Spaceballs is an iconic send-up of the sci-fi genre, which took inspiration from the Star Wars franchise and other classics. The plot revolves around the evil Dark Helmet (Moranis) and President Skroob (Brooks), who attempt to steal the atmosphere of the peaceful planet Druidia, only to be thwarted by the hero Lone Starr (Pullman), his sidekick Barf (John Candy), and the Druish princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga). Others in the cast included Joan Rivers and Dick Van Patten. The film grossed just over $38.1 worldwide but has endured over the years as a cult classic.
What about you? Will you be seeing the new Spaceballs movie? I love the original so much, like many others. Here’s hoping the new movie is just as good!
”May the Schwartz be with You!”
