Want A Vampire Comedy From 1/2 “The Flight Of The Conchords”? You Might Be Getting One…
I liked “Flight Of The Conchords” and I’ve forgiven Jermaine Clement for Gentleman Broncos so I could see this kind of working out. For me, at least. Though I have yet to check out Taika Waititi‘s Eagle Vs. Shark. Is it a disaster? Let me know.
Clement and Waititi are planning a vampire comedy. Right as vampires are finally about to get popular, right? They know, they know. Per Indiewire, “[Waititi is] working with Clement on a project on which they’ve toiled for six years. Of course, it’s a vampire film. ‘We really thought, oh, you know, no one’s doing vampire movies!’ Waititi half-joked. ‘It’s taken so long that vampires are now very uncool,’ he says about the film, which he would only share would be a comedy. ‘But we’re hoping to get a chance to make it.’”
I guess we’ll chalk this one up to a “maybe” for right now.
One of the genre films set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in June is the sci-fi/drama She Loved Blossoms More, and a bonkers first-look photo has arrived this week (above).
Additionally, Variety reports this afternoon that Yellow Veil Pictures has secured world sales on She Loved Blossoms More, billed as a “family drama in science fiction disguise.”
In the film, “three brothers build an unusual time-machine in order to bring their long-dead mother back to life. When their delusional father comes into the picture, the experiments go awry, and they descend into a psychedelic hellscape where the past and present fuse in a comedic yet deeply disturbing exploration of grief.”
Yannis Veslemes directed the film and co-wrote with Dimitris Emmanouilidis.
Veslemes said in a statement shared by Variety, “[She Loved Blossoms More is] a ballad for the defeated, a comedy for the accursed, a moral tale for us all and our beloved families.”
“She Loved Blossoms More is the first film we’ve onboarded at script stage, and it’s been quite amazing to see it come alive,” said Hugues Barbier of Yellow Veil Pictures. “We couldn’t be more proud of Yannis’ vision and the amazing team he has around him. Blossoms is an emotional thrill ride and a calling card for one of the most exciting new filmmakers.”
