Heads up, rockers! Our beloved ’80s fake band is making a huge comeback. Yes, you heard it right. The legendary members of the imaginary band, Spinal Tap, are gearing up for a sequel — ‘Spinal Tap II’. Big names including Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer, and Fran Drescher have all confirmed their comeback.
Just a Bit More to Add to the Hype
McKean, who was the iconic David St. Hubbins, gave us a bit of a sneak peek. He hinted at the returning characters being sadder than their younger selves in the upcoming sequel. In his own words, this version will be “tragic in the funniest way”. Fascinating, right?
The actor, who chatted with folks at The Diplomat Season 2 premiere, was excited to spill the beans. He seemed thrilled about reuniting with his original cast members. Imagine the nostalgia, the laughs, and the fun they might have had!
Behind the Scenes of ‘This is Spinal Tap’
Let’s not forget ‘This Is Spinal Tap’, the epic mockumentary that started it all. McKean shared how the film was a result of trimming down 20 hours of footage into a sweet 85-minute film. He admitted it was a long, arduous process.
The best part, according to the actor, was showing the film to people. They enjoyed every bit of it and gave it a massive thumbs-up. It might not have been a big, big money comedy like ‘Ghostbusters’, but Spinal Tap went on to create its own league of fans.
Look Out for ‘Spinal Tap II’ in 2025
Keep yourself free in the spring of 2025 because that’s when ‘Spinal Tap II’ is slated to hit the screens. Director Rob Reiner, who’ll be leading the project, has promised a fantastic sequel with the original cast. He also let slip in 2023 that we should look out for some equally exciting new faces.
So, what’s left? Just sit back, dust off that rock band shirt, and prepare to enter the world of Spinal Tap once again. Don’t worry, it’s just a matter of a few years. And hey, let’s all keep our fingers crossed for a ‘This is Spinal Tap II’ that will stir your funny bone in all the right ways.
Final Thoughts
As we make room for nostalgia and excitement around ‘Spinal Tap II’, we can’t help but cheer for the old gang. Joining the ride will be fun, laughter, and the sweet sound of rock-n-roll. So, fellow rockers, let’s wait for this one. As McKean rightly said, their sequel is a humorous tragedy waiting to be unveiled. It’s time to crank it up and go to eleven!
