Rob Reiner’s concert film follow-up to this past year’s Spinal Tap 2: The End Continues is on hold following the director’s murder this past weekend. According to Variety, Spinal Tap at Stonehenge: The Final Finale, which U.S. distributor Bleecker Street initially planned to release in IMAX next year, has halted further release plans in light of Reiner and his wife Michele’s passing. As for when forward steps will be taken for the project’s release, sources told the site there won’t be news until “the best path forward is decided with those closest to Rob and his family.” The satirical rockumentary will feature the fictional heavy-metal band in concert at Stonehenge, making it the first rock show filmed at the storied English location. The “secret” concert reportedly took place in October. Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer each reprised their roles as the band members, with guest appearances from Shania Twain, Eric Clapton, and Josh Groban, in the final film Renier directed before his death.
