Taika Waititi has become so massive his work in the afternoon Thor movie and in the Oscar winner jojo bunnybut it all really started with What we do in the shadows. After directing a short film in 2005 that brought the comedy idea to life with frequent collaborator Jemaine Clement, Waititi went on to direct the film in New Zealand and has since spawned a popular FX series . Discussing the vampire’s original mockumentary recently, the director and actor recalled a fun connection he needs The Hobbit trilogy .
Waititi, which he is currently promoting Thor: love and thunder front The next premiere of the Marvel movie visited The Late Show with Stephen Colbert . Given the host’s love for all things the Lord of the Rings, Colbert asked him if he had talked to the great Peter Jackson before making films in his native New Zealand. From that question arose a hilarious story about how 2014 What we do in the shadows It’s done. In Waititi’s words:
When I did What We Do in the Shadows, when Jemaine [Clement] and I was shooting this, we didn’t have a lot of money to make this movie and The Hobbit was just finished. And so our production designer, man, I don’t know if I should say that. Okay, but I will: our production designer, in the middle of the night, took his team to the Hobbit studios and stole all the disassembled and broken green screens and took all the wood, and we built a house. The house in What We Do In The Shadows is built from The Hobbit’s green screen.
Yes, you read that correctly. According to Taika Waititi, the green screen used in the What we do in the shadows The film was actually stolen from the set of The Hobbit Film (s. The director also said this:
I had never talked about it with Peter Jackson. I don’t know if he knows. I like to tell this story in the evening. But I don’t know if he really knows.
Well that’s a great way for Taika Waititi and Peter Jackson to connect. The 2014 vampire movie reportedly ran on a budget of $ 1.6 million while each The Hobbit The film reportedly cost $ 150 million to produce each film. So, I mean … probably the production was fine with the loss of stolen material, especially if they were taken after filming of the film was completed. When you think about it, Waititi and the What we do in the shadows The crew were making good use of set pieces that could have been discarded.
Waititi’s little vampire movie received positive praise from critics and audiences, but it didn’t make a lot of money commercially and barely screened in the United States. The film grossed just $ 7.2 million at the worldwide box office and was reportedly one of the most pirated films of 2014, possibly due to its lack of distribution. Of course, it spawned a TV series that premiered in 2019 and will return for season 4 as part of July news on Hulu .
