Josh Gad Teases ‘Spaceballs’ Sequel Script: “Everybody Who’s Read It Has Been Blown Away”

Josh Gad is working on a sequel to Spaceballs alongside Josh Greenbaum and Mel Brooks.

“Without MGM taking me into their Culver prison cells, I can tell you that the draft is done,” Gad told Forbes. Gad says the whole experience has been “sort of a fever dream” and noted that Brooks “has been so unbelievably supportive, involved, and electrified by this because it’s the one that surprisingly got away.” The film’s plot revolves around the evil Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) and President Skroob (Brooks), who attempt to steal the atmosphere of the peaceful planet Druidia, only to be thwarted by the hero Lone Starr (Bill Pullman), his sidekick Barf (John Candy), and the Druish princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga).
