Ah man. That does look quite good but will be completely ruined by how much I enjoyed the documentary on the exact same subject. Which managed to combine being funny with a massive heart and some properly emotional moments. Don’t think I can watch a straight up comedy about the same people.


So yeah, watch the documentary. You’ll enjoy it more. Can’t believe they used the same name.

I knew I'd seen something about this before. Was a good watch too.

If Rhys Darby doesn't say "team meeting" at some point I'll literally shit.

Editing my own posts.
Fassbender seems an odd fit for a Taika film somehow. Doesn’t quite gel for me, in this trailer anyway. Also that beard at the beginning is supposed to look horrendously fake…. yeah?

Anyway, I’ll probably watch it.

Had Fessbender been preparing for this for the past like 5+ years? Where's he been hiding...

Could be good
A real flip of the coin on whether the casting of Fassbender works here. Tonally he looks out of place but sometimes , in those rare occasions, those contrasting performances can work in these particular films.
Naturally ,with the ego that Taika has he couldn't refrain himself from being in front of camera and the humour is just so terrible in his films now and this looks no different.
