This movie was shot in Wellington!!
This movie was also released there first and my jealousy as I waited in the US for it – for a LONG TIME – was quite enormous.
This movie (and Only Lovers Left Alive, at the other end of the emotional spectrum) was the VC movie we’ve been waiting for. It had humor, seriousness, vampire physiology… it was a whole package of awesome.
I hear that they’re considering doing a werewolf-centered sequel, “What We Do in the Moonlight.”
To my embarrassment, I still haven’t seen it! Despite knowing a couple of people involved! And my mom telling me “oh you’ll love it, it’s very ~Wellington~*”
But I loved Only Lovers Left Alive when I finally saw it recently, so I will certainly take your rec.
*she means “very hipster” – she lives in Wellington too, but wouldn’t call herself “very ~Wellington~”, that’s her phrase for me and my friends with our hip arts.
You should see it. Sounds like your mom got it right, btw, very ~vampires~ in ~Wellington~ 😉
Please share your thoughts on OLLA. In a new post, or message me, if you prefer. Wasn’t it beautiful and also Ava=Claudia, Y/Y?
