Almost a year ago until the day, we learned that Mel Brooks and Josh Gad developed a “spaceball” suite. Although Brooks has arrived up there for years (he will be 99 years old this month), he was apparently very involved in the hilarious series in 2023 of his 1981 feature film “History of the World: Part I”, so there was every reason to believe that the Maestro Madcap could play an important creative role in this long-awaited follow-up of 1987 if he had the case.
He chooses so much.
I told you that we will be back

Today, Brooks went to Bluesky to announce that a “Spaceball” suite will make up for your local multiplex at one point in 2027. There is no official title at the moment, but I propose that the film is entitled “The Schwartz Awakens”, which is used as a slogan at the end of the (very funny) Teaser. Variety confirmed that Gad wrote the rest with the duo “Detective Pikachu” by Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit, while Brooks will resume his role as Galactic Guru yogurt, Happy-Happy Happy, from the first film. The project has also been described as “an unrevacious non-repair sequence the second part but with a film of restraint extension elements”.
All this is quite exciting, right? Wait, you hear who others come back.
Rick Moranis will again threaten galaxy as a dark helmet
Immediately after the teaser hit the Internet, Deadline announced that Brooks will be joined on the screen in the rest of Bill Pullman, Keke Palmer and Rick Moranis. Yes, the star of the Recluse comedy, who has not appeared in a live functionality since “Honey, We Shrunch Notsel” from 1997, will again play the badly malicious dark helmet. A few years ago, Gad obtained Moranis on board for his suite “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids”, but this project never got out of development. Since we now have a teaser and a burst of casting ads, it is sure to suppose that this production of Amazon MGM Studios is a blow (and, again, it will be published in theaters first).
Brooks joked about the creation of a suite since the original “Spaceball” became successful. At one point, he called it “Spaceball 3: the search for part 2” (with “the search for more money” having also been bandaged). I am particularly excited by the prospect of adding the Uber-Talenty palmer to the mixture. We will have to wait and see if Gad and his screenwriters, as well as director Josh Greenbaum (who gave us the “Barb and Star Go to Vista del Mar”), can deliver the goods, but the Moranis of all this is a sufficient reason to expect something special.
