No, Taika Waititi’s career is not limited to Marvel movies. The New Zealand director, who recently announced that he joined the superhero world “for the money” comes from independent cinema, but his first popular success came in 2014 – a few years before he joined the MCU.
At the time, Taika Waititi joined comedian Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords) to host Vampires in Full Intimacy, a mockumentary centered around a vampire dormitory in Wellington. This parody of both horror films and spoofs was praised by critics when it was released in theaters.
In France, the version we found is different. For the needs of VF, the dialogues were completely reworked by the tandem of Nicolas Charlet and Bruno Lavigne (a man with two men), and the dubbing is carried out by Alexandre Astier, Bruno Salomone and Fred Testot.
Success, the series What We Do in the Shadows (the original title of the film) was ordered in 2018 by the American channel FX. Taika Waititi, who is busy filming Thor: Ragnarok, is not involved in the development of the series, although he is credited as a co-creator. Therefore, only Jemaine Clement is developing this program, the action of which has been transferred to the United States.
If the humor of the film is perfectly restored in this adaptation, the main change in this series is due to the recognition of its creators. Because of their fame, they can host countless prestigious guest stars, from Tilda Swinton to Mark Hamill, including Wesley Snipes and even Sofia Coppola in their own role!
Despite the popularity of the program (average rating of 4 out of 5 by AlloCiné Internet users), it was announced that the sixth season of What We Do in the Shadows would be the last.
After being on the screen for ten years since the movie came out, we have to say goodbye soon to the craziest vampires ever seen on film and television!
