We’ll be going to 11 in 2024. According to the Celebrities column in today’s Chicago Tribune, Rob Reiner, Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer have signed on to do a long-awaited sequel to their hilarious and spot-on 1984 rock and roll documentary satire Spinal Tap. It’s scheduled to arrive two years from now.
Looks like there’s going to be a 60th Anniversary special for the long-running British sci-fi TV show Doctor Who, and former stars David Tennant and Catherine Tate have already agreed to be part of it. (You can even catch new scenes with them on Instagram.) Tennant played a major role in the 50th Anniversary special, alongside Matt Smith, who had replaced him in the role of The Doctor. The two of them were so much fun, I suggested at the time that they make an action comedy together. It will be interesting to see if any other former cast members come onboard the TARDIS for the 60th Anniversary special, which is slated to air in 2023.
Michael Glover Smith’s latest film Relative should make quite an impression in his hometown next month, with VIP World Theatrical Premiere events at Music Box on June 8 and the Gene Siskel Film Center on June 10. The film stars Wendy Robie of Twin Peaks fame, and concerns the complications that arise at a family get-together for a college graduation. Including the graduate bringing a last-minute date. Smith specializes in exploring personal relationships, with touching and humorous results. He says people have been telling him this is his best work yet, and he feels that way as well.
