Rob Reiner has confirmed that the sequel to his 1984 heavy metal mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap is due to begin shooting next year and will feature a number of real-life musicians. “We’re making a sequel,” Reiner said during an appearance on comedian Richard Herring's podcast. “We’re going to start shooting in the end of February and everybody is back.” By "everybody," writer/director Reiner is referring to Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer, and Michael McKean, who starred as a hapless rock band with songs such as "Big Bottom" and "Stonehenge" in the original movie.
Reiner also revealed that Paul McCartney, Elton John, Garth Brooks, and “a few other surprises” would be guest-starring in the sequel.
Rumors of a follow-up to This Is Spinal Tap were confirmed last year when Reiner shopped the idea at the Cannes Film Festival.
