Actor Josh Gad is also set to star in and produce the project alongside 99-year-old Hollywood veteran Mel Brooks, who had co-written, directed and produced the original 1987 cult classic.
Spaceballs, which was a parody on popular sci-fi movies like Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien and The Wizard of Oz, followed mercenary Lone Starr (Pullman) and his sidekick Barf (John Candy) as they rescue Princess Vespa and her droid from the evil Spaceballs, who plan to steal Druidia’s air.
