What We Do In The Shadows 07/01/15

What We Do In The Shadows:

Flatmates Viago (Taika Waititi), Deacon (Jonny Brugh), and Vladislav (Jemaine Clement) are three vampires who are just trying to get by in modern society; from paying rent and sticking to the housework roster to trying to get invited in to nightclubs, they’re just like anyone else - except they’re immortal and must feast on human blood.

When their 8000 year-old flatmate, Petyr, turns 20-something human hipster, Nick, into a vampire, the guys must teach him the ropes and guide him through his new found eternal life. And in return they are forced to learn a thing or two about modern society, fashions and technology. But it’s the introduction of Nick’s human friend, Stu, that really changes the vampire’s lives and attitudes towards the ever-changing world around them.

When Stu’s life is threatened, the vamps show us that maybe humans are worth fighting for, and that even though your heart may be cold and dead, it doesn’t mean you can’t feel anything.


It's a fantastic looking local(ish) movie getting rave reviews (7.9 on IMDB.com and a staggering 93% on Rotten Tomatoes!)

OK now there's two versions listed here, there's this;



And then there's this:



The 3-Disc version with 2 hours of Bonus Features and bonus DVD!

Now I cant find any other info on this. It's not listed at JB, Madman or Sanity. Anybody here in the know?

Here's the page on the 3-disc version

Oh damn, thanks man, couldn't find it myself...

Edit: Is it available only from Madman?

EzyDVD mate - I have had it in my cart since day 1. The release date is ages away for some reason, in comparison to the regular release.

Strangely enough the disc is labelled Life of Crime...

[Davidian]

Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement have started a Kickstarter page to raise $400,000 to take What We Do in the Shadows to the United States.

Read all about it here.

Although I'd hardly think they needed help with their pedigree and resources...

[LordCrumb]

Yeah bugger that. The UK release is coming soon, and I have no doubt a US release will follow soon.

[thetechnique]

Oh man watched this the other night so funny. This dude makes some wikid comedies. Eagle vs shark is right up there for me

No worries.
You got me all excited. I thought they had snuck it out early
Can't wait for this one. Funny film.

[amoergosum]

Awesome...hilarious movie!

It's a pity that the "TWO HOURS OF BONUS FEATURES" are not going to presented in 1080p.

I received this reply from MADMAN Entertainment:

"I’m afraid we had to make a compromise on this for the DVD and Blu Ray markets: the Special Edition is a dual format product, so needs to be playable on DVD and Blu Ray. But you deserve a better explanation than that, so I’m going with the long version. Here goes.

You see, we had a bit of trouble securing the special features in time for the original Blu Ray release, hence this seemingly money-grubbing move of releasing a special edition. I swear, it wasn’t a cynical commercial move, we just ran out of time!

When we were deciding on the format of the limited edition, we had a problem: should we spend hours (and many dollars) completely re-authoring the original Blu Ray/DVD releases to include the speshies, or simply include a DVD with the bonus features in a really cool limited edition, with feature-film discs of both the DVD and Blu Ray, for a keen price to please fans? We crunched the numbers and decided to do the 2 x DVD, 1 x Blu Ray release, in a great-looking package. It just made more sense financially, and we hoped fans would understand because the price is really fair I think…

I hope this makes even the tiniest bit of sense, and that you understand our predicament!"

They just reached their goal ($400,000) !

[amoergosum]

There's an AMA session on REDDIT right now >>>

"We are Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, actors and filmmakers for WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS. AUA!"

[amoergosum]

I asked them if they've recorded an audio commentary >>>

Taika Waititi: "That we did and it will be included in the US dvd release."

[Davidian]

Goddamit! Now that means Ima have to buy another version!

Edit: You must be the grooveologist!
