Fans of music comedy Flight of the Conchords rejoice, because while you won’t be seeing the duo from New Zealand in their retired hit show, you will find Jemaine Clement on the silver screen. In fact, you might have already caught Clement in the recently released Gentlemen Broncos. Now, according to Quiet Earth, Clement will star in the upcoming Jason Stutter crime comedy Predicament, based on the late Ronald Hugh Morrieson novel. Here’s the logline for the film: A crime comedy set in 1930s New Zealand in which a naive teenager conspires with two misfits to photograph and blackmail wealthy, adulterous couples.
Anyone that has seen Clement star in Flight of the Conchords knows that his serious-faced hilarity should make this a film to watch for. The storyline itself sounds interesting enough and one can only hope that Stutter will let Clement improvise his scenes. Perhaps Clement will...

Even though Clement's name isn't listed on the IMDb entry for this film, the news is all over New Zealand. I have no desire to see Diagnosis: Death, but considering Eagle vs Shark was just rad and Clement was the Only good part in Gentlemen Broncos (review) I'm greatly looking forward to this, especially with the single still we have to the right.
Based on the novel by the late Ronald Hugh Morrieson (apparently it's his last novel which had yet to be filmed), the film is currently in post and was shot in South Taranaki. The film also stars Rose McIvre (The Lovely Bones) along with Peter Mochrie, Brook Williams, Edward Newborn, Chad Mills, Hadleigh Walker, Tina Grenville-Cagwin and Carmel McGlone.
