An update, Season 2 DVD

Hey guys and gals, and whoever views this blog. Sorry for not updating the blog as of late, I've been a bit busy doing other stuff, like purchasing that new Jeff Buckley Grace Around the World DVD set, and just stuff. I also finally purchased Video Kid - Prototype; FotC - Folk The World Tour; and last, but not least; FotC - BBC Radio Show. The $60 or so was totally worth it. There is some news to report on though.

What The Folk! reported on the season 2 DVD here.

Flight of the Conchords, season 2, will be released on August 3rd of this year. That of course is supposed to be the UK release date. I'm currently unsure of the US release date, but look out for the 3rd, just in case.

Also, when season 2 does come out, you can look for the first two seasons in a twin bundle. How cool is that? Both the DVD and twin pack will be released on the same date. That would be the UK date. Just reminding you all again. :)

Some info on the season 2 DVD and the twin pack:

Anyways, seems pretty decent. 23 minutes of deleted scenes will make me happy, same with the outtakes, and other special features. All we have to wait for now, is the second CD that still has no release date. Ugh!

Conchords and Rhys Darby to star in horror spoof

The movies called Diagnosis: Death. and stars Bret McKenzie, Jemaine Clement, Rhys Darby, Raybon Kan, Jessica Grace Smith and Suze Tye.

I'm so glad Bret and Jemaine are doing different things with their careers. This movie sounds awesome by the way!

Here's a little article from ShockTillYouDrop:

Conchords Cast Flies into Death

May 15, 2009

Lightning Media is reinforcing its upcoming distribution slate with a horror-comedy called Diagnosis: Death.

The tone of director Jason Stutter's film is said to be in line with Peter Jackson's early works. The story, co-penned by Stutter and Raybon Kan, concerns two people undergoing a radical treatment for cancer. Locked in a medical facility over a weekend as guinea pigs for a drug trial, they discover the clinic may pose more harm than they could have imagined. The drugs cause hallucinations. Or are they seeing ghosts for real? Struggling with their senses, they must team up to solve a haunting secret.

The Flight of the Conchords Bret McKenzie, Rhys Darby and Jemaine Clement star with Raybon Kan, Jessica Grace Smith and Suze Tye.

There doesn't seem to be a release date at the moment, late 2009 to early 2010 seem logical, but I'll keep you all updated as more info comes in.

Update:

So it sounds like Bret and Rhys have a bigger role than Jemaine who is said to have a cameo appearance. Here's a better article at Stuff.co.nz
