Bleecker Street has acquired U.S. distribution rights to the 1984 cult comedy This Is Spinal Tap and its upcoming sequel, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues.

Both films are directed by Rob Reiner, with Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer reprising their roles as the fictional English heavy metal band Spinal Tap in the latest outing.

Spinal Tap II follows the band as they reunite after a 15-year break for one final concert, according to a synopsis from the producers.

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues will get a wide theatrical release on Sept. 12.

Reiner is returning in the onscreen role of documentarian Martin “Marty” DiBergi, in addition to cameos by Elton John, Paul McCartney, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood.

“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,” Andrew Karpen, CEO of Bleecker Street, and Kent Sanderson, president of Bleecker Street, said in a joint statement.

“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,” they added.

Spinal Tap II is produced by Reiner, Michele Reiner and Matthew George and financed by Castle Rock Entertainment. Derrick J. Rossi, Hernan Narea, Jonathan Fuhrman and Christopher H. Warner share executive producer credits.
