Actor Josh Gad has confirmed that filming officially wrapped on “Spaceballs 2” on Monday, just two-and-a-half months after filming began mid-September in Sydney, Australia.
Josh Greenbaum (“Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar,” “Will & Harper”) is directing from a script by Gad, Benji Samit, and Dan Hernandez. While plot details are under wraps, the cast list is impressive.
Gad is joined by returnees Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, Daphne Zuniga, George Wyner, and Mel Brooks, while Lewis Pullman, Keke Palmer and Anthony Carrigan join in the fun this time out.
In a posting on Instagram, Gad says:
“I cannot believe we are here. It really was Ludicrous speed, but that is an official picture wrap on #Spaceballs2 . 3 years ago I called Mel Brooks with an idea for a film forty years in the making. I could not believe he said yes. But more importantly, I cannot believe that we actually got to make it. This movie has been the greatest creative experience of my entire life. I cannot wait to share it with you all.”
Photos have been popping up online of the cast together in recent days with social media postings from Gad and Zuniga showing off the cast in the production offices and at some Sydney pubs celebrating.
Amazon MGM Studios will release “Spaceballs 2” sometime in 2027.
