Lewis Pullman’s Experience on *Spaceballs 2*
Pullman, who stars alongside his father, Bill Pullman, reflected on their long-standing desire to collaborate. He stated, “We’ve been wanting to do that forever, and so doing it on a movie like *Spaceballs 2* was just like, ‘What world are we in right now?’”
Film Production Details
*Spaceballs 2* has been officially in development as of Summer 2024. The film is being produced by Amazon MGM Studios and is a follow-up to the 1987 classic, which parodied the sci-fi genre. Original cast members returning include:
- Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet
- Bill Pullman as Lone Star
- Daphne Zuniga as Princess Vespa
Mel Brooks, the original creator, is also back for this sequel. New cast additions include Keke Palmer, Anthony Carrigan, and Josh Gad, who has co-written the script. The film is directed by Josh Greenbaum, working from a screenplay by Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez. Filming began in September 2024.
Announcement and Cultural Commentary
The project gained attention earlier this year when Brooks shared a humorous video that mocked Hollywood’s obsession with sequels. The video highlighted the evolution of the *Star Wars* franchise and other notable film series, contrasting them with the legacy of *Spaceballs*.
The original *Spaceballs* was released in 1987 and earned just over $38.1 million worldwide. It has since become a cult classic, celebrated for its unique take on iconic films like *Star Wars* and *2001: A Space Odyssey*.
