Mel Brooks' 'Spaceballs' put a comedic dent in the sci-fi genre when it crashed onto the space-opera scene in 1987. Now, prequels and sequels later, it's back.

The 98-year-old Mel Brooks will reprise his role of Yogurt in the upcoming sequel to 'Spaceballs' for Amazon MGM Studios.

Lewis Pullman is set to join the cast of the upcoming Spaceballs 2, where he will play the son of his real-life father Bill Pullman ’s character, Lone Starr.
