“So happy to be working with the folks at Bleecker Street who are passionate about keeping Tap’s legacy alive and happy to give Marty DiBergi another shot at relevancy,” Reiner said.

The original 1984 cult classic This is Spinal Tap returns to the big screen for a special engagement on its 41st Anniversary in a newly restored edition.

“We feel privileged for the opportunity to work with Rob Reiner and the brilliant minds behind the original ‘This Is Spinal Tap,’ and to be part of a film that has resonated with so many,” said Andrew Karpen, CEO of Bleecker Street, and Kent Sanderson, President of Bleecker Street. “’This Is Spinal Tap’ isn’t just a movie — it’s a cultural touchstone that pioneered the mockumentary genre and left an indelible mark on both film and music. Returning to this world through ‘Spinal Tap II’ is an extraordinary chance to celebrate its legacy while creating something fresh for both new and devoted audiences.”

This Is Spinal Tap was released to critical acclaim in 1984 and went on to become a cult classic. In 2002, it was deemed “culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant” by the Library of Congress, and was selected for preservation by the National Film Registry. The Return of Spinal Tap, was broadcast and released on video in 1992 to promote Break Like the Wind. It consisted mostly of footage from an actual Spinal Tap concert at the Royal Albert Hall.
