Sometimes, you gotta wait a long time for a sequel. It could take a couple of years before you get the conclusion or the next chapter of a story that you’ve been following. In some cases, the sequel is one that you didn’t see coming, like when the Scream franchise decided it didn’t want to be done over a decade after Scream 3. But This Is Spinal Tap takes the cake. 41 years after its 1984 release, the film’s sequel Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, is coming and the trailer is finally here.
In the clip, we see the band come back together for a final concert. They try to deal with their messy pasts, the horror of their own mortality, and more during the process, which will either be a success or a resounding failure. We are sure there will be lots of laughs and ridiculous moments along the way.
Here’s a synopsis from Bleecker Street to go along with the Spinal Tap II: The End Continues trailer:
Forty-one years after the release of the groundbreaking mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap, the now estranged bandmates David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel, and Derek Smalls (Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer) are forced to reunite for one final concert. Spinal Tap II: The End Continues also marks the resurrection of documentarian Marty Di Bergi (Rob Reiner), who once again tries to capture his favorite metal gods as they contemplate mortality—and the hope that their 12th drummer doesn’t join them in The Great Beyond. Joined by music royalty Paul McCartney and Elton John, Spinal Tap wrestles with their checkered past to put on a concert that they hope will solidify their place in the pantheon of rock ’n’ roll.
