Lewis Pullman Loves Working on ‘Spaceballs 2’
Lewis Pullman recently finished filming Spaceballs 2, and he says the experience was totally mind-blowing.
At a movie premiere in Los Angeles on December 14, the 32-year-old actor joked that being on set felt like living in a “bizarre simulation.”
He couldn’t believe his luck that he was actually part of such a legendary comedy sequel.
A Dream Come True for the Pullman Family
For Lewis, this wasn’t just another acting job—it was a chance to work with his father, Bill Pullman.
The two have wanted to star in a project together for a long time, but they weren’t sure the right opportunity would ever come along.
Getting to do it for Spaceballs 2 made it even more special. Lewis admitted he kept asking himself, “What world are we in right now?” because the whole situation felt so surreal and exciting.
The Return of an Iconic Comedy
Amazon MGM Studios first announced the sequel in June, confirming that original stars Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis are back to reprise their roles from the 1987 cult classic.
The new movie is co-written by comedy legend Mel Brooks and Josh Gad.
This time, the film will poke fun at how massive the Star Wars universe and other movie franchises have become since the original came out nearly 40 years ago.
Why We Need ‘Spaceballs’ Now
A lot has changed in Hollywood since the first movie debuted 38 years ago.

While we have to wait until 2027 to see it on the big screen, the sequel promises to be the hilarious space comedy that fans have been waiting decades for.
