The original Spaceballs cast reunites to reveal details on the new sequel
Mel Brooks and the original stars return for a nostalgic journey into the Schwartz
Nearly 40 years after the cult classic redefined sci-fi parody, the original stars of Spaceballs—Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, and Daphne Zuniga—have reunited for the highly anticipated sequel, officially titled Spaceballs: The New One. In this exclusive interview, the cast shares what it was like stepping back into their iconic roles alongside the legendary Mel Brooks, who remains as sharp and funny at 99 as he was during the original production.
The sequel isn't just about laughs; it serves as a "love letter" to the original film and late cast members like John Candy. Producers and writers Josh Gad and Josh Greenbaum discuss balancing nostalgia with a fresh story while honoring the profound legacy of the franchise. From behind-the-scenes stories about shooting in Australia to Bill Pullman working alongside his son, Lewis, this reunion captures a full-circle moment for a family of actors ready to bring the Schwartz to a whole new generation.
