SPACEBALLS 2 : Who!? What? When!?

Josh Gad, writing and starring in a SPACEBALLS series, says the script – which is believed to be a love letter to all things Mel Brooks – has garnered a lot of positive feedback, Everybody who’s read it has been blown away. The process of working on this with and alongside Mel Brooks has been one of the highlights of my career.”

Talking to Sirius XM, Gad – who has also written a TWINS and HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS sequels in recent years – says it’s inching along speedily.

“that’s the first time I’ve ever said that. I hope I don’t get in trouble for it. Please forgive me, Amazon. We are very much in the weeds, hoping to shoot by the end of the year. This is very much a sequel. This is very much a continuation of that movie, and, more than that, it’s a celebration of all things Mel Brooks.”

director Josh Greenbaum and co-writers Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit were tasked with the mission to watch all the Brooks’ classics.

“This is in many ways a lost art, and we don’t want to approximate it. Getting to work on a daily basis hand in hand with Mel Brooks and his producing partner, Kevin Salter, has been such a dream. I wish I could tell you more. I wish I could tell you who may be coming back. I can say the wait is gonna be worth it. Watch this space.”

Our money is on Bill Pullman, Daphne Zuniga, Brooks, and hopefully (!) Rick Moranls. Gad will also star.
