Rob Reiner, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer return for the sequel to the 1984 movie This Is Spinal Tap.
Castle Rock Entertainment announced today that the sequel to the 1984 cult classic This Is Spinal Tap, recently began production in New Orleans, Louisiana, with Rob Reiner directing and Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer all reprising their iconic roles as the legendary heavy metal band, Spinal Tap. Reiner will also return as the documentarian Martin “Marty” DiBergi. The film will feature cameos from music legends Elton John, Paul McCartney, Questlove, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood.
THE SEQUEL
Guest, McKean, Reiner, and Shearer conceived the sequel. After a 15-year hiatus, England’s loudest and most punctual band, reunite for one final concert.
The film is a production of Reiner, Michele Reiner and Matthew George, with funding from Castle Rock Entertainment. Christopher H. Warner and Derrick Rossi serve as executive producers.
ROB REINER
Reiner said:
“I recently spoke to Marty DiBergi who said that he was more than happy to take a sabbatical from his position as a visiting Professor’s Assistant at the Ed Wood School of Cinematic Arts to once again document Spinal Tap to ensure their place in the pantheon of Rock and Roll.”
THE ORIGINAL FILM
Released in 1984 to critical acclaim, the original film became a cult classic. The Library of Congress deemed it “culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant” in 2002. And selected it for preservation by the National Film Registry.
The sequel to This Is Spinal Tap is currently in production and will be released by Castle Rock Entertainment sometime in the future.
