Paul McCartney and Elton John will appear in the upcoming Spinal Tap movie
29 November 2023Film director Rob Reiner has revealed that Paul McCartney, Elton John and Garth Brooks will be among the cast when the long-waited sequel to the classic This Is Spinal Tap hits the big screen.
Reiner made the comments on the latest episode of the RHLSTP with Richard Herring podcast, and confirmed that filming will commence in February.
Planned to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the original film, Spinal Tap II (we're assuming that's the title, at least for now) will reunite David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean), Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest) and Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer) for the first time since the trio performed an acoustic set at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival. Reiner, meanwhile, will reprise his original role as mockumentarian Marty DiBergi.
"When it was announced that Spinal Tap would reunite for one final concert, Marty DeBergi saw this as a chance to make things right with the band who viewed This Is Spinal Tap as a hatchet job," Reiner said last year. "So he left his position as visiting adjunct teacher’s assistant at the Ed Wood School of Cinematic Arts in pursuit of film history."
