‘Shadows’ sucks comedy from the everyday lives of vampires
Associated PressPASADENA, Calif. — Think your roommates are a pain? “In New Zealand this wouldn’t really be possible, it’s just harder to make TV there,” said Clement, who still lives in Wellington. Nandor at one point sprinkles drugstore glitter on himself so he can look “like ‘Twilight.’” Clement spearheaded the idea of turning the film into a TV show, saying he wanted a project he wouldn’t have to describe in a pitch. It’s a backseat he’s happy to take, saying the constant night shoots can be “excruciating.” “Vampires don’t know how to schedule TV shows,” Waititi said. I usually find those funny.” The servant is Guillermo, an aspiring vampire who is Nandor’s human “familiar,” tasked with luring in victims, cleaning up bloody messes and blocking out windows that let in deadly sun.
