At the moment, we don’t know the plot details of “Spaceballs 2.”The film’s screenplay was written by Benji Samit, Dan Hernandez, and Josh Gad. Josh Greenbaum (“Unleashed”) will be behind the camera. Kevin Salter is executive producer.
What elements of the “Star Wars” universe will Gad, Brooks and company decide to mock this time? Since the original premiere, there have been enough new films and series from this universe to provide some material for comedians.
