The studio also shared a behind-the-scenes photo of the stars, writers and director at a table read. The film will be released in 2027. The full title and plot description haven't been revealed, but Amazon MGM did confirm in typical Mel Brooks style that "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."

Rick Moranis ("Ghostbusters", "Little Shop of Horrors") is officially ending his decades-long retirement from live-action acting, reprising his role as Lord Dark Helmet alongside original cast members Bill Pullman as Lone Starr, Mel Brooks as Yogurt, Daphne Zuniga as Princess Vespa, and George Wyner as Colonel Sandurz. Newcomers include Josh Gad, Keke Palmer, Lewis Pullman and Anthony Carrigan.

"Spaceballs 2" will be directed by Josh Greenbaum ("Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar", "Will & Harper") from a script by Gad, Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez. The film's logline describes it as being a "non-prequel non-reboot sequel part two but with reboot elements franchise expansion film".

Imagine Entertainment's Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, and Jeb Brody, will also produce alongside Gad, Greenbaum and Kevin Salter. Adam Merims, Samit, and Hernandez will executive produce.

Blu-Ray: THE SURE THING - 30th Anniversary Edition

<< BUY NOW >>

Product Description: John Cusack (Say Anything…, Grosse Pointe Blank) and Daphne Zuniga (Spaceballs) take a road trip to romance in The Sure Thing, a charming and thoughtful comedy classic that only the 80s could deliver, presented here in a special 30th Anniversary edition on Blu-ray from Shout! Factory.

When college student Walter Gibson (Cusack) gets set up for a date with an incredibly gorgeous blonde (Nicollette Sheridan in her film debut), he’s ready to go to the ends of the earth (or at least across the country) to capitalize on this "sure thing. ", Paired up with tightly-wound coed Alison Bradbury (Zuniga) via the campus ride-share program, he heads west for Los Angeles. But as the obstacles begin to pile up, he and Alison begin to form an unexpected bond… and soon Gib must choose between the sure thing and the real thing.

Directed by Rob Reiner (This Is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride), The Sure Thing is exactly what the title suggests for fans of raucously funny road trips, red-hot romantic comedies and romps through 80’s angst featuring John Cusack!
