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.

(There's also no shortage of Brooks-ian humor unrelated to parody, like the line telling Dr. Phillip Schlotkin, the best plastic surgeon in the known universe and Beverly Hills, to "go back to the golf course and work on your putts.

The upcoming film will feature returning stars Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis, alongside a new cast that includes Keke Palmer and Josh Gad. It's described as a "non-prequel non-reboot sequel part two, but with reboot elements franchise expansion film," which feels perfectly on-brand for a movie that once sold branded toilet paper as a punchline.

A new "Spaceballs" sequel is coming after 40 years, with creator Mel Brooks and some original cast members returning to the cult parody classic.

Judging by its announcement teaser, 'Spaceballs 2" could be gearing up to target an even broader range of targets. The teaser is a send-up of the famous "Star Wars" opening crawl, and it aptly and hilariously sums up the last few decades of science fiction franchises.
