Mel Brooks Celebrates 'Spaceballs' Sequel at CinemaCon

On Wednesday, Amazon MGM Studios unveiled the official title 'Spaceballs: The New One' during a CinemaCon presentation in Las Vegas, with Mel Brooks producing and starring in the sequel set for April 23, 2027.
The original 1987 sci-fi parody directed by Brooks grossed over $38.1 million worldwide and became a cult classic. After 38 years, the 99-year-old filmmaker returns, describing the sequel as "just like the old one, but it's newer."
Director Josh Greenbaum reunites original cast members Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, Daphne Zuniga, and George Wyner alongside new additions Josh Gad, Lewis Pullman, and Keke Palmer, whose character roles remain undisclosed.
Amazon MGM maintains strict secrecy regarding plot details, protecting them with an "industrial-strength Schwartz shield," while the cast debuted a trailer spoofing popular sci-fi franchises at the event.
The announcement was one component of Amazon MGM's broader presentation to theater owners, which also featured first looks at Peter Farrelly's Sylvester Stallone biopic and Michael B. Jordan's 'The Thomas Crown Affair'.
