A big part of the humor is in identifying with the tragic elements of the film. The New Zealand sense of humor is very dark. Our films are usually very dark and it's always someone being killed. Usually a child.
Taika WaititiI like to find comedy or something interesting to look at with whatever I'm working on.
Taika WaititiI've loved comics since I was a kid, collected them, I've always dreamed of being involved in comics.
Taika WaititiI remember being in Dublin in a café and seeing him [Jack Gleeson] two or three years ago, and he came in - Joffrey[from the Game of Thrones] came in - and I remember being so star-struck. I don't like famous people and I don't really get star-struck. But I remember seeing him and being so impressed that he was walking around. So I really like Joffrey.
