A couple of years ago it was announced Rob Reiner would direct the sequel to his hilarious 1984 mockumentary comedy This is the spinal tap. This is one of my favorite comedies of all time and I never expected to see a sequel made, but it’s actually happening.
Reiner recently offered an update on the RHLSTP podcast with Richard Herring and said the film will begin shooting next year: “We’re making a sequel. We’ll start filming at the end of February and everyone will be back.
Reiner also teased him Paul McCartney, Elton John, Garth Brooks and “some other surprises” would be cameos in the film, which will definitely be fun to see. The main cast includes Christopher Guest, Michael McKeanAND Harry Shearer as members of the fictional heavy metal band Spinal Tap. Reiner played the character of Marty DiBergi, a director in the mockumentary chronicling the band’s life during their American tour.
Reiner continued, “The plan is to make a sequel that comes out on the 40th anniversary of the original film and I can tell you there’s hardly a day that goes by without someone saying, why don’t you make another one? For so many years we said “nah”. It wasn’t until we had the right idea on how to do it. You don’t want to just do it, do it. You want to honor the first and push it a little further with the story.
The sequel will be “in the style of Martin Scorsese’s The Last Waltz, the legendary concert documentary that followed the farewell tour of Canadian-American rock band The Band.” The film will also feature real-life musicians in the film, but the names have not been revealed.
The first film chronicled the lives of the fictional members of the English heavy metal band played by McKean as David St. Hubbins, Guest as Nigel Tufnel and Shearer as Derek Smalls. The film “sheds light on the self-contained universe of a metal band struggling to get back into the charts, including everything from its complicated history of ups and downs, gold albums, name changes and undersold concert dates, along with the entire conductor. of necessary groupies, promoters, hangers-on and historians, sessions, release events and those special behind-the-scenes moments that keep it all real.
If you haven’t watched This is the spinal tap, you need to watch it now! You will laugh out loud! Hopefully the sequel takes the comedy to the max.
