They’ve gotten the band back together in Director Rob Reiner’s mockumentary, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues.

In the follow-up to his 1984 feature, This Is Spinal Tap, Reiner’s film finds documentarian Marty DiBergi once again shadowing estranged bandmates David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel and Derek Smalls who are reuniting after 15 years for one final show.

On September 21, after the DGA membership screening in Los Angeles, Reiner discussed the making of Spinal Tap II during a Q&A moderated by Director Paul Feig (Another Simple Favor).

During the conversation, Reiner spoke about a lesson he learned from a book by the legendary Director, Frank Capra.

“A long time ago, I read this autobiography by Frank Capra who said something in it I’ll never forget. ‘You’re asking people to pay money to sit in a darken room with strangers for two hours. You better put something up there that’s worth watching.’ So, I always took that in my head. I thought ya know give ‘em something that they can watch and enjoy and don’t overstay your welcome. That’s my feeling.”

Reiner’s other directorial credits include the feature films Shock and Awe, This Is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride, Misery, Ghosts of Mississippi, The Story of Us, The Bucket List, The Magic of Belle Isle, Being Charlie and LBJ; the documentary Albert Brooks: Defending My Life; and the movies for television Sonny Boy, Likely Stories, Vol. 1 and Everyday Life. He is a three-time nominee for the DGA Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film for Stand by Me (1986), When Harry Met Sally... (1989) and A Few Good Men (1992). Reiner has been a DGA member since 1974.
