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.
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!
Just a quick post about some great news, because today has been pretty busy day news-wise and I want to keep this blog and my other one, World of Taika, with fresh news and on time.
To start with, here's a new trailer for Rio, a new animated movie where Jemaine voices one of the birdy characters. You won't miss him ;)
And Bret has been officially confirmed to star in a New Zealand film Two Little Boys directed by Robert Sarkies, who directed Out of the Blue and Scarfies (both movies have my personal recommendation). Two Little Boys is based on a book on the same name by his brother, Duncan Sarkies, who also wrote a couple episodes of Flight of the Conchords. Read more about it here.
Anyway, I've read the book. It's great and I couldn't imagine anyone else as Nige but Bret. Total WIN!
