It will be released on March, 19 2024, tied to the 40th anniversary of the original.  The sequel will be in the style of Martin Scorsese&#8217;s \u201cThe Last Waltz,\u201d the legendary concert documentary that followed the farewell tour of the Canadian American rock group The Band.  \u201cSpinal Tap 2\u201d will also feature real-life musicians in the film.

Reiner portrayed documentarian Martin \u201cMarty\u201d Di Bergi, and the film marked his directorial debut di lui.  McKean played David St. Hubbins, the lead singer and rhythm guitarist;  Guest was Nigel Tufnel, the lead guitarist;  and Shearer portrayed Derek Smalls, the band&#8217;s bassist.  Most of the dialogue was improvised by the cast, and the movie was so well received upon its release that some viewers thought Spinal Tap was a real band.<\/p>\n<p>The movie garnered critical acclaim, but once it hit home media, it developed a major cult following.  In 2002, it was recognized as \u201cculturally, historically or aesthetically significant,\u201d and inducted into the US National Film Registry.<\/p>\n<p>Deadline first reported the news.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\">\n<p>\t\toptional screen reader\t<\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\">Read More About:<\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The band is getting back together.
