According to Deadline, Metallica’s Lars Ulrich and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith are set to make cameos in the “This Is Spinal Tap” sequel. That film is currently in production in New Orleans, LA.
The movie is being directed by Rob Reiner and it will find Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer reprising their roles as Nigel Tufnel, David St Hubbins, and Derek Smalls. Reiner will also return as Marty DiBergi.
The sequel will also feature Fran Drescher, who is reprising her role as Bobbi Flekman, and newcomers John Michael Higgins, Jason Acuña, Don Lake, Nina Conti, Griffin Matthews, Kerry Godliman, Chris Addison, Brad Williams, and Paul Shaffer. Elton John, Paul McCartney, Garth Brooks, Questlove, and Trisha Yearwood will make cameos as well.
Filming will continue through April 12 under the working title “Goodbye, Cleveland.” Reiner commented:
“I recently spoke to Marty DiBergi who said that he was more than happy to take a sabbatical from his position as a visiting Professor’s Assistant at the Ed Wood School of Cinematic Arts to once again document Spinal Tap to ensure their place in the pantheon of Rock and Roll.
