Taika Waititi on Improvising ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ & the TV Series | Screenwriters Lecture

[@tauntonlake]

02:27 Who wants to see the 135.5 hours of raw footage that didn't make the final cut ? *raises hand *

[@b3blueblue]

tauntonlake 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@sonnymaupin9267]

`My take on this? 150 hours of multiple complete versions of every scene. Man, they could make more versions of this movie and I for one would love it

[@csomorrichard6182]

I really want Simon Pegg and Taika Waititi to make a movie together :D they both have such a visual way of creating humor or drama its amazing!

[@cuckoobrain7999]

Do you mean Edgar Wright?

"I was dragging a man's body down the hallway, and noticed that there was no dust... I kind of, I kind of swept the hallway."

[@becca2938]

What a great actor too, like you see him in real life and you see him on the big screen and his characters have a completely different energy from himself. I love him!

[@anouksurmenian4257]

“Thé script was really good! We just didn’t show it to anyone...” 😂

[@charvaD72]

It would be really cool to see some of the footage that didn't make it into the movie.

[@Dramoogie]

id watch all the hours of it

[@xXTashaBabezZXx]

On the DVD extras there is half an hour of unused scenes sadly that is all though

[@cheyl9491]

150 hours of what we do in the shadows, yes please!

[@mikeysanchez1231]

Who wouldn't want to work with Waititi,the man is a comedic genius...

[@CaptChrispy]

Interesting discussions of Screenwriting techniques: if you rip some pages out of your notebook, make sure you get all the pieces out before doing anything else, get together every once in a while and write one line, once the script is finished, don't show it to the actors.

[@Fiawordweaver]

I just bought Jojo Rabbit. So incredibly brilliant. Thank you. During these ugly maga trump times, I needed this. I finished Hunting for the Wilderpeople before finding lots of interviews that introduced Jojo Rabbit. This is a magnificent day watching two masterpieces. You are so appreciated Taika Waititi🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

[@SIMKINYX]

What a charming being...so huggable...

[@johannwirsing1221]

After watching that first minute, I am forever his fan

[@VeroRochaEscorcio]

I like all his shows. What we do in the shadows, flight of the concords, reservation dogs. He's an amazing director. Very underated for his time

[@Goldenspiderducck]

1:44 rip, jacket. Godspeed.

[@angelo_150]

Taika is such a great guy.

[@cristhianortiz]

"I'm just gonna go direct.. Something.."... 853 million dollars Later ~

[@CaptChrispy]

@bad1dobby Canadian. Shot in Toronto for Staten Island

[@CaptChrispy]

@bad1dobby Yeah. Just happy to be a Torontonian with these productions.

[@irinasophia88]

He was awesome in the movie as Viago.

[@niceceleon]

this video tittle should be: THE BEST IMPRESSION OF JEMAINE CLEMENT

[@isabely.6926]

At 3:38 ... it’s hilarious!!!

[@trashpanda2219]

The amount that the footage was cut down is unreal. They could have made 100 different movies, all completely distinct.

[@MrUndersolo]

I obsess on stationery being prepped, too! 📒🗒

[@styleismyfavoriteTSsong]

Jemaine clement looks so good here

[@lauriemarie6902]

A masterpiece!

[@lilred5515]

I hope they saved the good film that wasn't used. I'd love to see some of the different takes

[@mvpuz1]

it's the vampire documentary version of curb your enthusiasm

[@tonymacintosh3744]

such a handsome guy :)

[@shoqwavebeats8745]

Anyone know the name of the other shows

[@addisonkennedy7111]

And What We Do In The Shadows the tv show

[@shoqwavebeats8745]

@@addisonkennedy7111 thanks, I watched the t.v show with nandor, Collin Robinson etc, love both seasons, waiting for season 3

[@SickBoiFanatic]

WWDITS and Wellington Paranormal are the spin offs but both are brilliant if you like the NZ vibe watch Our Flag Means Death it has Rhys and Taika and it’s my obsession at the moment

[@MsSimonsunburst]

"BAT!"

[@suniljogi94]

Is it just me... or he looks so much like "Dev Anand" classic bollywood actor. :-)

[@perryperry99]

He does. Great catch. :)

[@Andr3asLL]

Stu is a good guy right?

[@Brody2477]

I love Wellington Paranormal. I’d like to go to a fancy dress as Officer Minogue and see if anyone could identify me.

[@cynthiaerickson3646]

Watch the series,excellant

[@notavatarstany]

Release the TAIKUT

[@Nithin1814682]

He’s like a New Zealand version of Larry David. 😂

[@WulfricTheBlack]

What is the cop spinoff show called?

[@TheORealWitch]

Wellington Paranormal, luckily you can find all six episodes on yt :) I personally loved that series.

[@TheORealWitch]

Also Taika was only a producer of it but Jemaine directed half of the episodes and was co-writer of the first one, if I remember correctly.

[@WulfricTheBlack]

TheWitch Oh really? Thank you so much.

[@WulfricTheBlack]

TheWitch Very cool

[@addisonkennedy7111]

@bad1dobby it is a spin off, its set in the same universe

[@lilalpenglow]

taika are you nervous? what're you doin

[@DivineKnight_115]

When he has his mustache he looks like Robert Downey jr and Charlie Chaplin morphed...

[@emanff18]

"Oh Miek is dead" 😂

[@LusciousTwinkle]

7 years!!!!and it was mostly improvised????!!!! That is a fucking disgrace and I would be a lot more angry if this wasnt in my top 5 comedy movies of all time.

[@HotdogSosage]

Why are you angry? What a totally retarded reaction. Did you fund the movie, commission it to be made? Or are you totally irrelevant?

[@legiongamer-works-podcaster]

Tyco rips paper....... in a interview

[@lrvogt1257]

The film was OK but the TV show is hilarious. It's way funnier... to us anyway.

[@lrvogt1257]

@Law Dorherty : Us as in my wife and I. Yeah, Nandor is a standout but they are all terrific. I even love Nadia's ghost doll. Clever hilarious stuff.

[@GiotheGhreat]

Damn so awkward!

[@raoulduke8720]

i prefer Jermaine 👍

[@bobbyhill7948]

He’s wrong

[@meg2231]

oh wait i know this guy...its count fagula.
