We’re not down to the stage where we’re going, ‘The film is going to be like this,’ it could be this, this, this, this, this.Jemaine Clement was born on 10 January 1974 in Masterton, Wellington, New Zealand, and was raised by his Māori mother in the Wairarapa region with his two brothers. But who knows if it will ever be made, we’ve written some notes for some different film ideas.
He told IndieWire in 2015 that “we have actually started writing one. Waititi also recently confirmed that the “Shadows” film sequel “We’re Wolves” is in the works.Īs for a “Conchords” movie, Clement had nothing new to report on that front. “What We Do In the Shadows” began as a short film by Waititi and Clement, and was later reimagined as the film, a comedy that centered on a documentary crew that followed four vampire roommates - Viago, Vladislav, Deacon, and Petyr - and their relationship dynamics. It was really fun but tiring, we’d start at 2 or 3 in the afternoon and then finish 12 hours later.” “We finished filming about two weeks ago.
“It’s a small show, just six episodes so far, about two cops in Wellington who go and investigate ghosts and werewolves and that kind of thing,” he said. Separately, Clement just wrapped “Wellington Paranormal,” the New Zealand TV spinoff of “What We Do In The Shadows.” The show is expected to premiere later this year.
