It may have taken Hollywood nearly 40 years to greenlight a sequel to Spaceballs, but the upcoming spoof now looks like it’s on the fast track to production. In the months since Amazon MGM Studios officially announced Spaceballs 2, development has been steady. According to Josh Gad, who’s co-writing, producing, and starring, a script draft has been completed, which means production could begin in earnest soon.
“Without MGM taking me into their Culver prison cells, I can tell you that the draft is done. Everybody who’s read it has been blown away,” Gad recently told Forbes. “I can’t tell you anything beyond [the] process at this point, but I can tell you every hour of every day right now is spent making this project closer and closer to reality — and I think we’re nearing the end zone here.”
