San Diego Comic-Con always brings the best of the best in pop culture. And this year, THS hosted one of the all-time greats in studio: Rob Reiner!

An actor, writer, and director, Reiner’s prolific career spans genres and includes fan-favorite flicks like The Princess Bride, Misery, When Harry Met Sally, Stand By Me, and This Is Spinal Tap. Reiner hit SDCC to chat about the upcoming sequel to that last cult classic: Spinal Tap II: The End Continues.

(Oh, and he also told us a story about Andre the Giant from his Princess Bride era.)

Check out our full interview with Reiner out of San Diego Comic Con below.

About Spinal Tap II: The End Continues

Over four decades later, the cult classic flick This Is Spinal Tap is getting a sequel. Spinal Tap II: The End Continues follows the now estranged bandmates David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel, and Derek Smalls (Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer), who are forced to reunite for one final concert. The film 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.

Reiner directs the feature, which he co-wrote with fellow stars Guest, McKean, and Shearer.

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues premieres in theaters September 12. Until then, check back to THS for more updates on the film, plus more out of San Diego Comic-Con.
