Nordling here.
Jemaine Clement's WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS is absolutely brilliant - funny, even scary at times, smart as a whip and full of so many ideas that I feel like the movie could have gone on for a few more hours and not run out of things to say. Which is why I'm especially happy that Clement is planning to return to that world, but with a twist - this time, Clement plans on focusing on the pack of werewolves, led by Rhys Darby's Anton, with the possibility of the cast returning. Considering that the vampires' friend Stu (Stu Rutherford) is a new member of the pack, perhaps we'll see a bit more of the supernatural underworld that we dipped our toes into in WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS.
Clement announced that a sequel is in the works at stuff.co.nz, along with a Flight of the Conchords tour and another series on HBO, produced by Judd Apatow. I've seen WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS several times now, and it's one of those comedy films that, like THIS IS SPINAL TAP, that you just know is going to be a classic in the coming years. It's one of those movies that you want to show to friends when they're over. I'm very happy that Jemaine Clement isn't done with these characters and this world yet. Considering all the vampire lore and fiction that Clement drew upon for SHADOWS, it'll be fascinating to see what sources Clement uses for his new film. Can't wait.
Nordling, out.
