Well, for sci-fi fans of a certain generation, it doesn't get much bigger than this. Sure, it's nice to see massive high-budget adaptations of the Dune books, and the enormous success of standalone sci-fi movies like Project Hail Mary, but for people over 40 there's nothing quite like Spaceballs, which parodied the whole genre but took particular aim at Star Wars.
Now, in what's come as a bit of a surprise to me, at least, it turns out we're getting another movie, with central involvement from the literally 99-year-old Mel Brooks, who seems to be in fine form in the announcement video that Amazon posted today. It confirms that Spaceballs: The New One will hit cinemas in April next year, and as an Amazon MGM Studios production, it'll almost certainly go to Prime Video swiftly afterwards.
