Mel Brooks made sure he was going to be in the newest Spaceballs movie.
During the Melrose Place panel at 90s Con moderated by PEOPLE executive editor Breanne L. Heldman at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, Conn., Sunday, Oct. 18, Daphne Zuniga shared what it was like working with Brooks, 100.
“We filmed Spaceballs: The New One that Mel Brooks worked with the writers on. He’s a big influence in it. He filmed his part already before we shot. It was his idea: ‘You better film me now because I’m 100.’ So we did,” she said.
“It opens April 23rd of next year. Rick Moranis is back as Lord Dark Helmet, and Bill Pullman is back as my husband. His real son, Lewis Pullman, plays our son, the prince, and Keke Palmer is in it. It was great fun.”
The new movie reunites Brooks with Zuniga, Pullman and Moranis. Josh Gad, Lewis Pullman and Palmer are all new additions to the cast.
In July 2026, Moranis, 73, talked about what it was like stepping back into the helmet of Dark Helmet.
“Well, I kept having to pinch myself because I would look at Daphne [Zuniga] and Bill [Pullman] and George Wyner. Earl Sanders. And then there were all these young people,” Moranis said. “And I realized I was their age 39 years ago when we made this. And here we are now and my kids are the age of this.”
He added, “I felt like I was in a time warp, but I was in that outfit and wearing the helmet. And it just felt very strange to be honest with you. But it started to feel really good and I really started to love it.”
Spaceballs: The New One will release in theaters on April 23, 2027.

Mel Brooks Funny Interview Moments Nobody Could Out-Talk (Carson, Conan, Fallon)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izvv95ydnLs
“Mel Brooks funny interview moments with Johnny Carson, Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Fallon that no talk show host could keep up with. For more than 60 years, from Johnny Carson’s first Tonight Show in 1962 to his 100th birthday, Mel Brooks has turned every interview into his own show, and this video tells his whole life through the stories he told them, Jimmy Kimmel and the Oscars stage.
In this Mel Brooks interview compilation you’ll hear how Sid Caesar held him out of a Chicago hotel window over Michigan Avenue, how he sang “Toot, Toot, Tootsie” to German soldiers in World War II, how the 2000 Year Old Man record got him the girl (”I got your record,” said Anne Bancroft), why Gene Wilder burst into tears over The Producers, and how 200 studio secretaries laughed at Blazing Saddles after the executives sat in silence. Plus Gene Wilder’s own side of the “Puttin’ on the Ritz” argument in Young Frankenstein, the week Cary Grant took him to lunch every day (”I’m not in”), Martin Scorsese at the AFI, the sixth finger at the Chinese Theatre, his honorary Oscar at 97, and Josh Gad pitching the Spaceballs sequel.
Every Mel Brooks interview here is Mel at his funniest, from Brooklyn and the Catskills to Your Show of Shows, Get Smart, The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Spaceballs, the 12-Tony Broadway musical, the EGOT, and Spaceballs: The New One, in theaters April 23, 2027.”
Same for me.
Yeah.
Yeah.

The Schwartz, hello?
