Original filed nearly two years ago by
Harry Shearer and seeking $125 million, the suit since has
added his fellow Spinal Tap bandmates Christopher Guest and
Michael McKean and the mockumentary’s director
Rob Reiner. That revision in February 2017 also cranked the damages sought to $400 million. The plaintiffs — no drummer among them, for obvious reasons — claim they collected a paltry amount from the film’s music and merchandise since the film’s 1984 release.
