A new generation of comedians are reviving classic comedy films, with projects like History of the World Part II and a Naked Gun reboot in the works.

Josh Gad has received positive feedback on the Spaceballs 2 script and is working closely with Mel Brooks on the project.

The Spaceballs 2 project is moving forward, with the studio working on the budget and casting, aiming to start shooting by the end of the year.

Director Josh Greenbaum and co-writers Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit studied Mel Brooks’ comedic language by watching his other works to ensure the sequel captures his style accurately.

Gad has expressed excitement about the project and hinted at the return of some original cast members, promising that the wait will be worth it. Spaceballs purists are holding out hope that the title will be what we were teased with at the conclusion of the original movie some 38 years ago.  “Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money”.
