This Is Spinal Tap co-creator Harry Shearer, who played bassist Derek Smalls in the legendary mockumentary, has filed a $125 million lawsuit against French media group Vivendi for unpaid royalties.

According to New York Daily News, actor Harry Shearer is suing the Vivendi entertainment group and its StudioCanal division for a whopping $125 million, claiming the company committed fraud in an attempt to conceal revenues earned for the 1984 mockumentary, This Is Spinal Tap.
