Rhys Darby has further fuelled rumours that a Flight of the Conchords movie is in the works next year.
Speaking on George FM this morning, Darby, who plays band manager Murray on the hit HBO show, said work on the movie would likely start next year.
“I can say in all faith that we have connected, recently we’ve talked, and the boys do want to make one so it’s just a matter of finding time and I think next year pen will hit paper,” says Darby.
Last month while promoting his new project The Muppets, Conchord Bret McKenzie revealed in an interview he would love to resurrect the comedy on the big screen, saying, "We definitely want to make a Conchords film. Working on this big studio feature makes me excited about a large-scale Conchords movie with big musical numbers."
Darby, McKenzie and Jemaine Clement launched Flight of the Conchords on radio before heading to the small screen, where they became cult favourites.
All three New Zealanders have since landed many Hollywood roles in films such as Yes Man, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Despicable Me, Dinner For Schmucks, The Boat that Rocked, and Men In Black III.
Darby was on George FM promoting his latest stand-up DVD, It's Rhys Darby Night!, which is available now.
