Speaking to Deadline, Reiner talked a bit about the upcoming film, which has been in the works since the beginning of the year. According to Reiner, the project is nearly done filming and will be ready to show to distributors later this year.
"It's going well. Our first screening for our family and friends will probably be in August," Reiner said. "And then sometime in September, we'll start showing it to distributors, and we're hoping to have it out sometime in late spring or early summer of next year."
A sequel to This Is Spinal Tap was announced in May 2022, and was initially set to be released on March 19, 2024. However, the release was delayed due to strikes by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and the Writers Guild of America (WGA).
