In a sly nod to the first tease of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we have our first look at the cast and others from Spaceballs 2, below.
Today, Amazon MGM Studios announced that Rick Moranis (Ghostbusters; Little Shop of Horrors; Honey, I Shrunk the Kids franchise), Josh Gad (Frozen; Beauty and the Beast; The Wedding Ringer), Keke Palmer (Nope; One of Them Days), Lewis Pullman (The Testament of Ann Lee; Thunderbolts), Anthony Carrigan (Barry; Superman), George Wyner (A Serious Man; A Million Little Things), Daphne Zuniga (Melrose Place; One Tree Hill), and Bill Pullman (Independence Day; Lost Highway; The Sinner) are set to star in the studio’s new Spaceballs film, alongside previously announced star, Mel Brooks.
Plot details revealed on Shawn Levy and Ryan Gosling’s Star Wars: Starfighter movie
Moranis, Zuniga, Bill Pullman, Brooks, and Wyner will reprise their iconic roles in the long-awaited sequel to the 1987 MGM sci-fi parody that warped its way into cult comedy history, while Gad, Palmer, Lewis Pullman, and Carrigan will take on brand-new characters whose identities are being kept tightly under wraps. Production is now underway on the follow-up, which will hyperspace into theaters in 2027.
Check out the first gathering of the original cast, new cast, and core group of people that are a part of the making of this movie, from the official table read:
Clockwise from the top – Director Josh Greenbaum, Bill Pullman, Keke Palmer, Daphne Zuniga, George Wyner Jeb Brody (Producer), Taylor Stuewe (Associate Producer) Austin Lee (Associate Producer), Benji Samit (Writer), Dan Hernandez (Writer), Adam Merims (Line Producer/EP), Anthony Carrigan, Lewis Pullman, Josh Gad, Rick Moranis.
The new image cleverly has a giggle at the first-ever look at Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ new cast, left, which came ou in March 2016 (yes, really).
Josh Greenbaum (Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar) is directing from a script by writing duo Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez (Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy; TMNT: Mutant Mayhem), and Josh Gad. Plot details are being kept under lock, key, and an industrial-strength Schwartz shield.
Imagine Entertainment’s Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, and Jeb Brody are producing the film, alongside Mel Brooks, Josh Gad, Josh Greenbaum, and Kevin Salter. Adam Merims, Benji Samit, and Dan Hernandez will executive produce.
While the title and plot details are being kept under wraps, the title is rumored to be the name of the movie, and plot details are being described as information about what happens in the story.

Marc
Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
