Sold me at Anthony Carrigan.

First up, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, Daphne Zuniga, and Mel Brooks will reprise their respective roles as Lord Dark Helmet, Lone Starr, Princess Vespa, and Yogurt/President Skroob. Newly announced as returning is George Wyner who played Colonel Sandurz in the original movie.

They will be joined by Josh Gad, Keke Palmer and Lewis Pullman in new roles, while also revealed today is that "Twisted Metal," "Barry" and "Superman" alum Anthony Carrigan has joined the cast.

Plot details for the film are being kept under wraps at this time. Josh Greenbaum ("Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar," "Will & Harper") is directing from a script by Gad, Benji Samit, and Dan Hernandez.

Greenbaum, Brooks, Gad, Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Jeb Brody, and Kevin Salter produce. "Spaceballs 2" will be released in cinemas in 2027.

Barf recast?

 

[bitbydeath]

Just read that the above photo is a parody/take on the Force Awakens cast photo.

Edit: That would explain why they have a bin in a box.

Soon as I saw it I remembered the TFA table read photo. There are a few Easter eggs in the Spaceballs one too. Love it.

 

[Billbofet]

Clever photo. Unfortunate that Josh Gad is in this, and helping to write it....

 

[Ishma3L]

 

[ClanOfNone]

Awesome that they got pretty much the whole cast back, except for those we lost (RIP Joan n John).
Colonel Sandurz is the film's secret best character.

Oh they're definitely parodying the sequel movies....

 

[bitbydeath]

Keke was great in Scream Queens, not sure if I've seen her in much else.

 

[AJUMP23]

I appreciate them making fun of the Star Wars reboot. That is the right way to do things.

 

[kevboard]

the fucking Pizza

Barf recast?

Probably a son or other family member.
Would make sense for Josh Gad to play that role.

Edit: Josh is also sitting in front of a fire hydrant which was in Barf's room.

 

[Badlucktroll]

You know whats missing is an in shape, healthy, grey haired john candy

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Probably a son or other family member.

I hope, it would be really bad having someone else play his character.

They could excuse Barf for being part animal and not living as long as humans.

 

[rkofan87]

well mel get this done be for he dies?

 

[kevboard]

well mel get this done be for he dies?

that is a very real issue here ngl.
they should probably shoot all his scenes as early as possible

 

[delirium trigger]

Controversial opinion: Spaceballs sucked!

Blazing Saddles and some of his other stuff is great, though.

 

[rkofan87]

I'm not just saying that, but what if he's like a director or a writer?What did they have to make script changes

 

[kevboard]

I'm not just saying that, but what if he's like a director or a writer?What did they have to make script changes

pretty sure he is only co-directing and co-writing, so the movie can continue production without him in that regard. but you can't really replace him as an actor...

 

[Salz01]

How the fuck did they get Rick… (besides a hole shit ton of money)

 

[kevboard]

How the fuck did they get Rick… (besides a hole shit ton of money)

his kids are grown up. his kids were the main reason he stopped being in films. also he said he wasn't retired, just being more picky with his choices if he comes back

 

[Mr Reasonable]

I can't imagine this film will be any good.

 

[bitbydeath]

Updated with better quality photos

 

[LimanimaPT]

This will be dog shit for sure...

 

[Mr Hyde]

Can't believe Mel Brooks is doing a sequel to space balls at 99 years old! Dude is built different than most people. Hang in there Mel, we're all rooting for you to get this legendary sequel off the ground!

 

[Trilobit]

I can't imagine this film will be any good.

I can't imagine it being worse than the Disney sequel trilogy.

 

[DreamcastSkies]

I was going to say it reminded me of that black and white The Force Awakens photo which was referenced in this thread. There was so much enthusiasm and hope for the Sequel Trilogy when they were working on Episode VII. What a monumental destruction of a cherished IP.

Star Wars - Force Awakens Cast Photo

Why is Mark Hamil, there?
Oh, that's a Star Wars underneath.

Edit: Quite a few of the original cast is alive. Unfortunately, Dick Van Patten, Joan Rivers RIP and John Candy RIP.
I'm glad George Wyner, is still with us!

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Great to see Rick there <3

Shame no Michael Winslow even if he was a small part in the original

maybe he'll have a small part here too? these are just the main cast members, so could be that he'll return still.

True! would be good to see him in a movie again.

I have no hopes for the comedic parody in current year.

But I would like to be pleasantly surprised.

it's Mel even if he has to tone it down some I think it'll still be good

Try to watch the new history of the world that they did. It is atrocious.

did Mel have writing credit on that?

The Naked Gun was good

The Naked Gun was good

I'll add it to the list.

I felt Beatlejuice 2 was a bore or rather lacked most of charm from the first one in the set pieces.

 

[T8SC]

They did this sort of photo before Episode VII...

I refuse to get my hopes up again.

 

[TheAtomicPile]

The Naked Gun was good

Hopefully they take a look at Spinal Tap 2 as well. Apparently, you can actually make a comedy sequel without having the same characters repeat all the same lines from the first movie.

 

[Yerd]

Clever photo. Unfortunate that Josh Gad is in this, and helping to write it....

Try to watch the new history of the world that they did. It is atrocious.

Yep. I think Josh Gad is the reason for these to be bad. I couldn't watch the new history of the world, it was so bad.

Controversial opinion: Spaceballs sucked!

Blazing Saddles and some of his other stuff is great, though.

I kind of agree. The only thing that makes me laugh is the Michael Winslow scene.




Young Frankenstein is the best comedy ever made.

 

[bitbydeath]

I expect the new Scary Movie, movie, will bring a lot of laughs.

 

[March Climber]

They did this sort of photo before Episode VII...

...And episode 7 was decently good.

Episode 8 and 9 were the problem and made people retroactively feel that 7 was worse than it actually was.

 

[Dr Bass]

...And episode 7 was decently good.

Episode 8 and 9 were the problem and made people retroactively feel that 7 was worse than it actually was.

Nah 7 was stupid, as well as insulting to the franchise. Star Wars is dead as a doornail. Whatever that phrase means.
