"I was dragging a man's body down the hallway, and noticed that there was no dust... I kind of, I kind of swept the hallway."
“Thé script was really good! We just didn’t show it to anyone...” 😂
`My take on this? 150 hours of multiple complete versions of every scene. Man, they could make more versions of this movie and I for one would love it
I really want Simon Pegg and Taika Waititi to make a movie together :D they both have such a visual way of creating humor or drama its amazing!

What a great actor too, like you see him in real life and you see him on the big screen and his characters have a completely different energy from himself. I love him!
Interesting discussions of Screenwriting techniques: if you rip some pages out of your notebook, make sure you get all the pieces out before doing anything else, get together every once in a while and write one line, once the script is finished, don't show it to the actors.
Who wouldn't want to work with Waititi,the man is a comedic genius...
It would be really cool to see some of the footage that didn't make it into the movie.

On the DVD extras there is half an hour of unused scenes sadly that is all though
150 hours of what we do in the shadows, yes please!
1:44 rip, jacket. Godspeed.
After watching that first minute, I am forever his fan
What a charming being...so huggable...
I like all his shows. What we do in the shadows, flight of the concords, reservation dogs. He's an amazing director. Very underated for his time
this video tittle should be: THE BEST IMPRESSION OF JEMAINE CLEMENT

@bad1dobby Yeah. Just happy to be a Torontonian with these productions.
Taika is such a great guy.
He was awesome in the movie as Viago.
I just bought Jojo Rabbit. So incredibly brilliant. Thank you. During these ugly maga trump times, I needed this. I finished Hunting for the Wilderpeople before finding lots of interviews that introduced Jojo Rabbit. This is a magnificent day watching two masterpieces. You are so appreciated Taika Waititi🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
The amount that the footage was cut down is unreal. They could have made 100 different movies, all completely distinct.
Jemaine clement looks so good here
I obsess on stationery being prepped, too! 📒🗒
A masterpiece!
such a handsome guy :)
it's the vampire documentary version of curb your enthusiasm
I hope they saved the good film that wasn't used. I'd love to see some of the different takes
"BAT!"
I love Wellington Paranormal. I’d like to go to a fancy dress as Officer Minogue and see if anyone could identify me.
Is it just me... or he looks so much like "Dev Anand" classic bollywood actor. :-)

WWDITS and Wellington Paranormal are the spin offs but both are brilliant if you like the NZ vibe watch Our Flag Means Death it has Rhys and Taika and it’s my obsession at the moment
Stu is a good guy right?
He’s like a New Zealand version of Larry David. 😂
taika are you nervous? what're you doin

Also Taika was only a producer of it but Jemaine directed half of the episodes and was co-writer of the first one, if I remember correctly.

Tyco rips paper....... in a interview
7 years!!!!and it was mostly improvised????!!!! That is a fucking disgrace and I would be a lot more angry if this wasnt in my top 5 comedy movies of all time.

Why are you angry? What a totally retarded reaction. Did you fund the movie, commission it to be made? Or are you totally irrelevant?
Damn so awkward!
The film was OK but the TV show is hilarious. It's way funnier... to us anyway.
