British sitcoms have been increasingly making their way across the pond—and not just old episodes of Are You being Served? that your mom watches on Sunday afternoons while casually mentioning she’d find it a hoot if you called her “mum.” There’s a robust market for distinctly British humor, and it’s about to get some…

Good news for fans of flat-based bloodsucking comedy today, as FX announced that it’s finally moved forward with a series order for Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement’s U.S. TV version of their cult mockumentary What We Do In The Shadows.

Fresh off one of his most prominent roles yet—as the good-butted gill-man at the center of Guillermo Del Toro’s Oscar-nominated The Shape Of Water—prolific character actor and physical performer Doug Jones has scored a lead role in the upcoming U.S. TV version of Taika Waititi’s What We Do In The Shadows. Per Variety…

Earlier this month, we reported that Jemaine Clement had finished the pilot script for the previously teased American spin-off/remake/whatever of What We Do In The Shadows, the 2014 vampire movie he made with Taika Waititi—of Thor: Ragnarok fame. Now, Variety is reporting that FX has sucked up the rights to that…

Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi’s What We Do In The Shadows has spawned quite a franchise: Not only is there a cinematic spin-off planned for the polite lycanthropes led by Rhys Darby in the original, but the collaborators have also been working on two TV adaptations. Now Clement, who’s since become a series regular…

We’ve been hearing rumblings of adaptations of and sequels to What We Do In The Shadows ever since Taika Waititi’s hilarious vampire mockumentary became a cult hit back in 2015. This week, a report from Stuff confirmed that at least one of those projects is finally in production, a mockumentary cop TV show called …

Just how much of a Taika Waititi movie is Thor: Ragnarok? Well, it will have a cameo from the director. ”It’s not like a thing that I’ve ever planned, but now I’m in all of my movies in a small role or a larger role,” he told The A.V. Club at a Rooftop Films gala honoring him Tuesday night in New York. “I’ll probably…

It looks like the crime-procedural wave has reached the shores of New Zealand. Empire Online reports that a What We Do In The Shadows TV spin-off, which will focus on the easily-baffled cops from the original film, is now in the works. The A.V. Club first learned about the show when we interviewed Jemaine Clement …

Last summer, Jemaine Clement announced that a sequel to What We Do In The Shadows was in the early planning stages, thereby delighting fans of the hilarious mockumentary.

While it’s still a while to go before the end of the year, the year-end compilations have begun. It’s uncertain how many of these will make The A.V. Club’s best of the year (better luck next time, Spectre!), but one editor has combined some incredible images from many 2015 films to produce an epic journey across time…

Previously, Mark Hofmeyer of Movies, Films, and Flix spent countless hours and immense amount of nerd energy going through the top ranked horror films of the 21st century. He did this by aggregating multiple websites critics’ and users’ scores and came up with multiple lists that varied but there was some consistency…
