These Go To 11! Rob Reiner Announces ‘Spinal Tap II’ With Original Band Members Returning

Jeff Kravitz

Spinal Tap is going to need a bigger amp—one that goes to 12, maybe. The band is getting back together for a sequel to This Is Spinal Tap, Deadline reports, with the entire original troupe set to return for more rockstar antics. That is, if they can find their way to the stage this time around.

Spinal Tap II will feature OG stars David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean), Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest), and Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer), with Rob Reiner also set as the film’s director. In the first movie, Reiner also plays a part in the film as the mockumentary creator Marty DiBergi, a role he’ll revise in this sequel.

“The plan is to do a sequel that comes out on the 40th anniversary of the original film and I can tell you hardly a day goes by without someone saying, why don’t you do another one?” Reiner told Deadline about his vision for the sequel. “For so many years, we said, ‘nah.’ It wasn’t until we came up with the right idea how to do this. You don’t want to just do it, to do it. You want to honor the first one and push it a little further with the story.”

It was important to introduce some new characters.” “Top Gun: Maverick” follows Tom Cruise’s iconic naval aviator…
