While Jermaine Clement and Bret McKenzie where two of the main faces in front of the camera in Flight Of The Conchords, they actually co-created the show with James Bobin, who’s since gone on to Hollywood success as the director of The Muppets (for which McKenzie won the Best Original Oscar for Man Of Muppet).
Now it seems they’re working together again on a fantasy musical.
McKenzie recently told Collider, “I’m in the middle of a script for a kind of—it hasn’t got a name yet but it’s a fairy tale comedy musical, sort of akin to Labyrinth or something like that. I’m developing and that script’s halfway through. James Bobin’s helping me. I’m the official writer but we’re developing it. I want to make a comedy musical with singing dragons and monsters and stuff. [It’s] live-action, so it would be a mixture of The Muppets and The Princess Bride….it’s definitely my favorite thing I’m working on at the moment. It’s early, though, it’s early. It’s still developing.”
It sounds like something a lot of people would love to see.
