Watch the ‘Spinal Tap II’ trailer

It’s finally almost here, the long-in-the-works sequel to classic mockumentary This is Spinal Tap. It’s titled Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, will be in theaters on September 12 and they’ve just shared the official trailer and poster. Also: the movie’s synopsis:

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.

Will the band successfully be able to pull off a comeback with their dignity intact? Maybe, and lets hope Reiner, McKean, Guest and Shearer can do the same making a sequel 41 years later to one of the funniest movies of all time. Watch the trailer below.
