Bekijk de demoversies van This Is Spinal Tap

Het reilen en zeilen van de nepband Spinal Tap werd door regisseur Rob Reiner meesterlijk vastgelegd in de mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap. Om geld voor deze productie te krijgen kreeg hij producenten zo ver hem geld te geven om een pilot te maken:

“They gave us the money and we realized that there was no way in screenplay form that we could capture what this would be. Because it was going to be a documentary. So I said to the guy, give us the money you were going to give us to write the screenplay and I’ll make you a little bit of the film. And we made like 20 minutes of this film. We had backstage footage. We had concert footage. Interview stuff.”
