Virtual Reunions For THIS IS SPINAL TAP and DAZED AND CONFUSED Are Coming
2020 has been the year of virtual reunions for some of our favorite movies, and we’ve got a couple more coming up that you might be interested in. We will soon get to see the cast and crew reunions for the classic films This is Spinal Tap and Dazed and Confused.
The virtual reunions are driven by the current political climate. When it comes to the 1985 mockumentary, This is Spinal Tap, Rob Reiner, Harry Shearer, Michael McKean and Christopher Guest are reuniting for an event that will be moderated by Patton Oswalt.
It’s explained that the event will serve as a fundraiser for Pennsylvania Democrats or PA Dems. "Every dollar raised goes directly towards ending Trumpism by winning Pennsylvania," reads the invite. The reunion will take place on October 14th. More information can be found here.
Then there’s the 1993 Richard Linklater-directed film Dazed and Confused event. That will see Matthew McConaughey, Ben Affleck, Parker Posey, Jason London, Joey Lauren Adams, Adam Goldberg, Anthony Rapp, Rory Cochrane, Marissa Ribisi, Cole Hauser, Deena Martin, Esteban Powell, Christine Harnos, Wiley Wiggins, Michelle Burke, Mark Vandermeulen, Sasha Jenson, Jeremy Fox, Christin Hinojosa, Catherine Morris and Nicky Katt all come back together virtually for a script reading. Patton Oswalt is set to moderate a Q&A following the reading.
This event will help raise money for the get-out-the-vote initiatives in Texas. Money raised will benefit March for Science and the Voto Latino Foundation’s efforts to promote voting in Texas in the upcoming election.
