It's official: after 38 years, Mel Brooks' beloved satire Spaceballs is getting a sequel. What's more, original star Rick Moranis is coming out of retirement to reprise his role as the film's villain, Dark Helmet. He'll be joined by the returning Bill Pullman as Lonestar, with Keke Palmer as the newcomer of the announced cast, according to Deadline.
The announcement came in the form of a social media video that starts with a Star Wars style scroll which takes gentle aim at the many "prequels to the sequels" and "sequels to the prequels" that have been released since Spaceballs hit the scene in 1987, along with a message from Brooks himself.
