The same thing happend with O'Leary the cop in the movie and the spinoff TV series. Also the character name Guillermo is rather similar to his actual name Guillen, I wonder if that was a coincidence or whether they changed the character around to be more like him (similar to how they used O'Leary's actual surname for her character).

Astroman posted:One thing I love is how nuts the production designers went with the details of their house--the pictures covering almost every bit of wall, the cluttered furniture, books, etc. Like you think of how much bric a brac the average person accumulates in 50 years...now imagine 4 people living in a house for 200 years. Apparently they read our thread: https://www.bleedingcool.com/2019/06/10/what-we-do-in-the-shadows-behind-the-scenes-at-the-vampire-lair/

I'm just waiting for one of the housemates to say "We're making a documentary", and for someone to reply, "Oh, like that one about the New Zealand vampires?" Just for the reaction.

Here's Taika talking about the writing/directing process behind the WWDitS movie which was even crazier than I'd thought https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0gNQ68004o Here's the full interview

Taika is so precious and adorable but please lose the mustache you look way too much like my dad with it. I’m glad Harvey identified that Guillermo and Nandor have homoerotic moments together because I swear there have been so many times I really, truly expected them to kiss. But they didn’t because Nandor is a stupid abusive jerk like all vampires.  Senor Tron posted:That should be the thread title. I've talked to quite a few people about the show and almost always there is skepticism that a US series could catch the magic of the NZ film. I was skeptical at first but then I watched it and yeah, SO GOOD.

If anyone wants more Tash she did a few episodes of the Adam Buxton Podcast awhile back - WWDITS comes up a bit in the second one. Actually come to think of it there's a Matt Berry one too. It tickles me that she's made so much professional hay out of basically doing an impression of her Dad. A lot like Matt Berry and his 'silly voice he used to do to amuse his friends in secondary school'

Stath Lets Flats is pretty good too. Written by her brother and Natasia is adorable in it.

Kayyvan (Nandor) also has several fairly prominent roles in the Men In Black: International movie that's currently out, including this sleazy alien guy: The film is ..... not great. Snowglobe of Doom fucked around with this message at 11:26 on Jun 18, 2019 |

Rewatching some "Documentary Now!" and Guillermo pops in the "Juan Likes Rice and Chicken" ep, and man, he's lost some weight since then!

I can't recommend "Year of the Rabbit" enough as a great WWDITS follow up. It's got plenty of Matt Berry-isms ("The taaaaaste"). It's dumb fun, with decent enough production values, tons of sarcastic dialogue, and just enough quirks to elevate it.

I can kinda see why they cut it. It's awesome but it is also something extremely interesting that Colin Robinson can do, and Colin Robinson shouldn't ever be interesting.

Yeah, that is a super neat and non-boring power and thus one that is worthless to him. If he ran around turning into a gecko all the time he would starve to death. No one would ever be bored or irritated when he was around they would just be like "Oh awesome a Gecko!"

But then he can leave and come back as Colin Robinson and it's like "gently caress I hate this guy, I wish that gecko was still around", and they'd be like a million times more bummed out than normal with him.
