We first heard about the possibility of a new Spaceballs last year when Josh Gad posted to his social media showing a partially seen Spaceballs script. Today, Josh Gad posted, “I was that child who saw ‘Spaceballs’ before I ever saw ‘Star Wars‘ and then wondered why anyone would do a dramatic remake of the Mel Brooks classic. It is therefore the greatest gift of my life to now help take the reins and work alongside Mel and this incredible group to do a sequel to the movie that first inspired George Lucas“
