So what if the UK gets What We Do in the Shadows on November 21st? We need to wait a few months, baby! Ain’t that cool? Man! We love waiting! It’s just so much fun!

From the Press Release:
Unison Films, in association with Funny or Die and Paladin, has announced today that they will release Flight of the Conchords’ creators Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi’s Toronto Film Festival People’s Choice Award-winner WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS in New York and Los Angeles on February 13, followed by an expansion into major markets, including San Francisco, Philadelphia, Boston, Seattle, and Washington, D.C., on February 20, with a continued national rollout throughout February and early March.

Unison Films will be heading up the theatrical release along with Paladin, and Funny or Die will leverage its social media and marketing reach leading up to the film’s release. WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS, produced by Unison Films and Defender Films, along with producers Waititi, Chelsea Winstanley, and Emanuel Michael, follows the adventures of four vampire roommates trying to get by in a modern world that’s not always hospitable to the undead. The highly acclaimed comedy sensation premiered at Sundance earlier this year and has since gone on to play Berlin, SXSW, TIFF, and AFI, winning every audience award for which it has been eligible.

Clement and Waititi, creators of the HBO hit series “Flight of the Conchords,” co-wrote, co-directed, and co-star in this hilarious send-up in which an endearingly unhip quartet of friends ranging in age from 183 to 8,000 years old squabble over household chores, struggle to keep up with the latest trends in fashion and technology, antagonize the local werewolves, and deal with the rigors of living on a very, very strict diet. The film also stars FOTC’s Rhys Darby, Jonathan Brugh, Cori Gonzalez-Macuer, Stu Rutherford, and Jackie Van Beek.

WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS is Unison’s third film with New Zealand multi-hyphenate and Academy Award® nominee Taika Waititi, following cult hit EAGLE VS. SHARK and New Zealand’s all-time highest grossing box office film, BOY. Unison is also currently in pre-production on Waititi’s next film, Blacklisted script JOJO RABBIT, a co-production with Studio Babelsberg.
