Get ready for a cosmic family reunion! Lewis Pullman, who launched his acting career alongside his father, Bill Pullman, is in talks to star in the highly anticipated sequel to the cult classic, ‘Spaceballs.’ This exciting development comes nearly a decade after the duo starred together in ‘The Ballad of Lefty Brown.’
Since then, Lewis has carved out an impressive career with major films like ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ and Marvel's upcoming ‘The Thunderbolts.’ He even snagged an Emmy nomination for his role in ‘Lessons in Chemistry.’ Now, he’s gearing up for another on-screen collaboration with his iconic dad.
Bill Pullman, who famously played the heroic Lone Starr in the original 1987 film directed by Mel Brooks, is set to reclaim his role alongside a star-studded cast. The sequel, backed by Amazon MGM Studios, is aiming for a theatrical release in 2027, although official details are still closely guarded.
The film will be directed by Josh Greenbaum, with a script penned by Benji Samit, Dan Hernandez, and Josh Gad, who also stars alongside Keke Palmer. Mel Brooks will reprise his role as the wise Yoda-like character, Yogurt, much to the delight of fans.
Sources reveal that Lewis Pullman will portray a new character named Starburst, the offspring of Queen Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) and Lone Starr. Keke Palmer is reportedly taking on the pivotal role of Destiny, making this a fresh installment full of new adventures.
While details about the plot are as elusive as the characters themselves, Amazon has teased that the film is described as ‘A Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two’ with elements meant to expand the beloved franchise. What does that mean? Only time will tell, but expectations are running high for this exciting new chapter.
With production managed by a powerhouse team, including Brian Grazer and Jeb Brody, along with Gad and Greenbaum, the upcoming ‘Spaceballs’ sequel promises to bring a blend of nostalgia and fresh humor. Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare for this blast from the past!
