Since the second series of Flight Of The Conchords finished a couple of years ago, it has been Jemaine Clement who has seemingly had the better big screen career. He's picked up roles in the likes of Dinner For Schmucks, Gentlemen Broncos, Rio and the upcoming Men In Black 3.
However, the other half of the Conchords, Bret McKenzie, will appear in a small role in The Hobbit (he also appeared briefly in Lord of the Rings: Return of the King) and has also been promoting his work on The Muppets recently. And now? He's been hinting at the possibility of a Flight Of The Conchords movie.
Specifically, McKenzie stated the following whilst on red carpet duties: “We’re gonna try and do a movie. We just need a story.”
From that brief snippet of information it’s clear that we shouldn’t expect the movie any time soon. Not that the two are likely to be short of work. Clement will probably continue to get offered an array of wacky supporting roles. And there’s a strong chance that McKenzie could be an Academy Award winner in the Best Original Song category next year for The Muppets.
Gah, I hope that this happens. As brilliant as the tv show was, I felt that it could have gone at least another series and ending way before its time. I understand it was more of the fact that the second series was difficult for them to make due to them having to write all new songs and have stories around them. Heres hoping htat given enough time, they can make a strong, funny movie with all the charm of the series.
