Actor Lewis Pullman has opened up about the profound and surreal experience of sharing the screen with his father, veteran star Bill Pullman, for the first time in the highly anticipated sequel, Spaceballs 2.
A Long-Awaited Dream Realized
In a recent interview, Lewis described the filming process as an unforgettable event that felt almost like a dream. He revealed that collaborating with his father on a project of this scale was something they had both desired for many years, but the opportunity had never materialized until now. "We've been wanting to do that forever and we never knew whether we could get the chance or not," Lewis explained. The chance to finally work together came with the comedy sequel, making the achievement even more significant.
An Unforgettable On-Screen Partnership
The actor did not hold back in expressing his joy, calling the entire experience a "dream come true." Having recently completed filming, Lewis reflected on the daily wonder of the shoot. "We just wrapped, and every day was such a trip… It felt like a bizarre simulation. I just couldn't believe my luck," he said. He added that the high-profile, comedic nature of Spaceballs 2 blended professional pride with a deeply personal family milestone, making it extraordinarily special.
Reviving a Cult Classic
The project marks a major moment for fans of the original 1987 parody film. Spaceballs 2 serves as the direct sequel to Mel Brooks' cult classic, with Brooks himself returning to co-write the screenplay. The film brings back original cast members like Bill Pullman while introducing a new generation of characters, including Lewis Pullman, into the franchise's iconic and irreverent sci-fi universe. This unique father-son dynamic has added an extra layer of anticipation for the sequel, which is already generating significant buzz among longtime enthusiasts.
Lewis Pullman's heartfelt reflections highlight more than just a professional collaboration; they underscore a unique family story at the heart of one of the most talked-about legacy comedies currently in development.
