Spinal Tap is regrouping to demand that Vivendi SA, the distributor of the 1984 cult film, give them some money.
Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Rob Reiner -- who played singer Nigel Tufnel, lead guitarist David St. Hubbins and director Marty Di Bergi in “This Is Spinal Tap” -- joined bass player Harry Shearer’s lawsuit against Vivendi. The revised complaint demands $400 million in damages for "anti-competitive and unfair business practices, as well as fraudulent accounting," the men said Wednesday in a statement.
