According to Variety, actors Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer will reprise their roles because the members of Spinal Tap, with Reiner returning because the documentarian Martin “Marty” Di Bergi.
When requested on the podcast about the important thing to making a film with a unfastened, script, Reiner stated, as quoted by Variety, “The only thing that matters is that you get people who are good at improvising. You have to get people who feel comfortable doing that … then you’re off to the races.”
This Is Spinal Tap sequel is claimed to be in the identical vein as Martin Scorsese’s 1978 concert film, The Last Waltz, on the farewell tour of the Canadian-American rock group The Band. The new movie was initially slated for a launch on March 19, 2023, however the unprecedented Hollywood strikes delayed the schedules. A brand new launch date is but to be introduced.
