The Schwartz returns with Spaceballs: The New One
There is no denying that Mel Brooks is an icon. The man has delivered some of the best comedies of all time including History of the World Part I, Young Frankenstein, Dracula Dead and Loving It, and Blazing Saddles. In 1987 he took on the word o sci-fi and targeted Star Wars itself with his classic comedy Spaceballs. There were jokes about a sequel within the film and even got an animated series in 2008, but that seemed to be the end of that. That is until Josh Gad stepped up and got Brooks to return to this world once again with the aptly titled sequel Spaceballs: The New One featuring the surviving original cast as well as new additions including Rick Moranis, Josh Gad, Keke Palmer, Lewis Pullman, Anthony Carrigan, George Wyner, Daphne Zuniga, Bill Pullman and Mel Brooks with Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar and Stray director Josh Greenbaum at helm this time around.
​
In Spaceballs: The New one, somehow, Dark Helmet has returned! Forty years after the events of the first Spaceballs, fifty years after the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, and one year after the events of The Devil Wears Prada 2, the galaxy is once again under threat. A threat so evil, so unstoppable, so completely lacking in any original ideas, that it has vowed to bring back the past… every last bit of it.
With Lone Starr in hiding, Queen Vespa on the throne, and the Schwartz stretched thinner than a franchise releasing TV episodes theatrically, the only hope for the galaxy is Vespa’s undisciplined son, Prince Starburst, and a mysterious Palace advisor named Destiny. Together, they must find Lone Starr, Yogurt, and any other iconic legacy characters fans are demanding before they discover the hard way that, while some threats you can fight, the reboot is not one of them.
While you will have to wait until April 23, 2027, to see the laughs return to the big screen, you can check out the first teaser poster here now from Amazon MGM.
