FILM 1692: WHAT WE DO IN THE
SHADOWS
TRIVIA: More than 120 hours of
footage was shot, most of which were improvisation from the leads.
Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi wrote
150 pages of actual script but chose not to show it to a single person involved
in the film (both crew and cast). The reasoning was to keep things spontaneous
and actors to be surprised by the events unfolding before their eyes.
The man who plays Stu is not a
actor but actually Stu Rutherford. A part-time business analyst for a
Wellington company, LanWorx. He was hired for the film under the impression
that he would be working on computers, and that he would play a small part in
the film.
Each of the main characters are
similar to a vampire from a famous vampire movie: Petyr is analogous to
Nosferatu, Deacon reflects Bela Lugosi's Dracula, Vladislav is comparable to Gary Oldman's
Dracula, Nick is reminiscent of Edward from Twilight (2008),
and Viago is like Louis de Pointe du Lac from Interview with the Vampire: The
Vampire Chronicles(1994).
