'Flight of the Conchords' Movie Might Actually Happen - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

"We're going to try and do a movie," said Bret McKenzie, one-half of comedy and funk duo Flight of the Conchords, whose HBO show died two years ago. "We just need a story."

In most cases, a lack of a story would be a tremendous obstacle, but the Conchords' appeal was the goofy, endearing cast that included McKenzie, Jemaine Clement, Kristen Schaal and Rhys Darby. Oh, to get them all back together.

McKenzie shared the news of a possible movie with a reporter at a Muppets Movie showing; the New Zealand native served as music supervisor on Muppets and contributed to several songs, including Life's a Happy Song.

McKenzie said he's seeking ideas for the movie, which means, yes, it's business time.

"Flight of the Conchords" Movie Reports Dismissed
30 November 2011

U.S. TV chiefs have dismissed reports that a "Flight of the Conchords" movie is in the works, after funnyman Bret McKenzie hinted at a big screen comeback for the comedy.

The series won over critics and fans alike with its 2007 debut, but New Zealand duo McKenzie and Jemaine Clement ended the show for good in 2009 after two seasons.

McKenzie has been promoting his new project The Muppets recently and he revealed in an interview he would love to resurrect the comedy on the big screen, but bosses for the HBO network have quashed fans' hopes for a film.

"There are no plans for a Flight of the Conchords movie," HBO said in a statement to nme.com
