The creators of Spinal Tap have announced a new behind-the-scenes book.
“A Fine Line Between Stupid and Clever,” written by Rob Reiner, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer, is set to be released on September 9th.
The book will feature first-hand stories about the creation of the 1984 film and its iconic one-liners, as well as real-life “Spinal Tap moments” from rock stars like Slash, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, Rob Halford, and Don Henley.
A fictional half of the book, dubbed as a “B-side,” will be written as Spinal Tap’s band members recounting their life in the band to “director” Marty DiBergi.
Pre-orders are currently ongoing, and the upcoming film, ‘Spinal Tap II: The End Continues,’ will premiere on September 12th with cameo appearances by Paul McCartney, Elton John, Garth Brooks, and more.
