Inspired by Flight of the Conchords posters

I got an e-mail from Tarmo Annus about his Flight of the Conchords inspired pictures. They're all inspired by the New Zealand posters in Murray's office during the show.

Bret to star as an elf in 'The Hobbit'

Source - Variety

According to Variety, Bret will be starring in The Hobbit as an Elf named Lindir. I've never read the Hobbit, so I'm unsure if he's a main character or not. Lets hope so. Here's the article by the way:

"Flight of the Conchords" star Bret McKenzie has joined the cast of "The Hobbit," which began shooting March 21. McKenzie, who made brief appearances as an extra in the first and third "Lord of the Rings" pics, is playing Lindir, an Elf of Rivendell.

More to come ...

Nigels

You should probably already know that FOTC work with New Zealand Symphony Orchestra also known as Nigel Collins, but this post isn't going to be about him or his clones.

The first Nigel is a character played by Bret in his new film called Two Little Boys directed by Duncan Sarkies. I wrote about this little earlier. The shooting was finished at the end of February and the premiere is planned in early 2012. If you want to find out more, read interviews and keep an eye out on this film, visit its facebook page.



I can recommend you to listen to an episode of a radio show Hamish & Andy where Bret was a guest on February 11th. Hamish Blake co-stars in the movie and he and Bret seemed to get along with each other pretty well during the shooting.

Listen to the show here or download the episode.

The other Nigel is an animated character, a cockatoo voiced by Jemaine in Rio. You're going to see this film much sooner - next month on April 15th! Another great news is that Jemaine will feature in the soundtrack from Rio. He sings "Nigel's Song" and you can already listen to it here!

The Pen

If you haven't watched The Pen yet, well shame on you. I'll be honest, I've been putting it off for a while now, not sure why, but I finally got into it.

Anyways, I got an e-mail from Tim Capper, brother of Guy Capper who is a co-creator of the show with Jemaine Clement. Oh, and he likes the site. :D

Anyways, if you want to view the videos, you can check their youtube channel here: The Pen

Birthday Card for Jemaine Clement

Christmas is already behind us and a New Year has come. And now what? While waiting for big things we can expect from the guys in 2011, the next big thing is Jemaine's birthday on January 10th. His fans don't forget about him on this special day and all around the Internet is being passed over a link to a group card which will be sent to Jemaine when the time comes. So, if you want to join in and write him all your best wishes, you can sign the card as well:

B'day card for Jemaine!

Let's make this card as long as his new beard! He'll have hurt feelings and make an angry face if you don't sign it...

UPDATE:

Jemaine saw the card and he liked it!
