    'Spaceballs 2' Trailer Spoofs 'Star Wars' Lightsaber Fights,
    'Avatar' and Hollywood Mergers in Hilarious Sequel Titled
    'The New One'
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    Brooks didn't attend the annual convention in Las Vegas, but
    the 99-year-old comedy legend sent a pre-taped video for the
    long-awaited sequel to his 1987 sci-fi parody "Spaceballs."
    In the short clip, he also announced the sequel's official
    title, "Spaceballs: The New One."

    The film reunites original cast members Rick Moranis as Lord
    Dark Helmet, George Wyner as Colonel Sandurz, Daphne Zuniga
    as Princess Vespa, Bill Pullman as Lone Starr and Brooks as
    the Yoda-esque being Yogurt. Joining the ensemble is Josh Gad,
    Keke Palmer, Lewis Pullman and Anthony Carrigan, who take on
    portray new characters whose identities are being kept secret.

    Moranis, Zuniga, Gad and both Pullmans took the CinemaCon
    stage to debut the "Spaceballs: The New One" trailer, which
    spoofed everything from "Star Wars" to "Avatar" to "Harry
    Potter." Just like the opening to "The Force Awakens," there's
    a sandy desert scene with robots and Jedi-like explorers
    wandering the dunes - plus someone frozen in carbonite like
    Han Solo. The sci-fi jokes came fast and quick, including
    Moranis' Lord Dark Helmet peeing at a urinal next to a Na'vi
    from "Avatar."

    Amazon MGM is being similarly coy about the sequel's storyline,
    writing in a release thata"plot details are being kept under
    lock, key, and an industrial-strength Schwartz shield."aLike
    the original, the follow-up film will take place in a galaxy
    very, very, very, very far away and is expected to riff on
    popular sci-fi franchises including "Star Wars," "Star Trek"
    and "Alien."

    Josh Greenbaum, who is known for "Barb and Star Go to Vista
    Del Mar" and "Will & Harper," is directing from a script by Gad,
    Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez.a"Spaceballs: The New One" is set
    to release on April 23, 2027.

    Brooks, who co-wrote and directed the original sci-fi spoof,
    shared news of the sequel last year with a video in the
    signature "Star Wars" crawl, which read: "Thirty-eight years
    ago, there was only one 'Star Wars' trilogy. But since then
    there have been ... a prequel trilogy, a sequel trilogy, a sequel
    to the prequel, a prequel to the sequel, countless TV spinoffs,
    a movie spinoff of the TV spinoff, which is both a prequel and
    a sequel [...] But in 38 years, there has only ever been one
    'Spaceballs.' Until now..."
