"We are still story-lining that and writing it, but [co-writer, co-director and actor Jemaine Clement] and I are notoriously lazy.

"It took us a long time to write What We Do In The Shadows. We may as well not even written it though, because we didn't show the script to anyone.

"We do have plans to do it, it is in the works, it's just when."
