What We Do in the Shadows was released 12 years ago. Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement encouraged heavy improvisation, often shooting long takes and letting the cast overlap dialogue like a real documentary crew caught in chaos.

EXCLUSIVE: Craig Mazin, co-creator of arguably the most acclaimed TV adaptation of a video game to date, HBO’s ‘The Last Of Us,’ will be taking on another hugely popular and acclaimed game title next, Larian Studios’ ‘Baldur’s Gate 3,’ which is set in the world of ‘Dungeons & Dragons.’ Unlike HBO’s ‘The Last Of Us,’ which retold the story from the PlayStation games, the ‘Baldur’s Gate’ TV series will be a continuation to the games, telling a story that takes place immediately after the events of ‘Baldur’s Gate 3,’ as the characters — old and new — are dealing with the ramifications of the events in the third game.

Fing! Review: Taika Waititi Steals the Show in a Whimsical Family Fantasy at Sundance Premiering in the Family Matinee section of the Sundance Film Festival, Fing! emerges as one of the festival’s most pleasant surprises—a lively, visually rich adaptation of Fing! that balances mischievous humor with heartfelt charm. Directed by Jeffrey Walker, the Australian-British production draws heavily from the tradition of eccentric, big-hearted family films while carving out its own playful identity. A Story Built on Childhood Obsession and Chaos At the center of the story is Myrtle Meek, a strong-willed 12-year-old played by newcomer Iona Bell in an energetic film debut. Myrtle wants only one thing for her birthday: a Fing—a mythical exotic creature rumored to live in the lost jungle of Zybra. Her exhausted parents, Maureen and Christopher Meek (played by Mia Wasikowska and Blake Harrison), reluctantly indulge her obsession, setting off a chaotic expedition that brings far more than they bargained for back home. The Fing turns out to be a furry, one-eyed cyclops with no interest in human companionship and a knack for destruction. While Myrtle quickly decides she no longer wants the creature, the Fing unexpectedly bonds with her, echoing classic “creature-as-outsider” narratives in the tradition of E.T. and Paddington. Taika Waititi’s Scene-Stealing Villain The story gains additional momentum through the invention of a new antagonist not present in the original book: the Viscount, played with gleeful absurdity by Taika Waititi. The Viscount runs a failing exotic animal attraction and becomes determined to capture the Fing to save his business. His efforts are aided—and frequently undermined—by his long-suffering nanny, portrayed with impeccable comic timing by Penelope Wilton. Waititi’s performance leans into broad physical comedy and eccentric villainy, drawing favorable comparisons to classic Peter Sellers turns. While he dominates many scenes, the ensemble keeps pace, particularly Bell, whose Myrtle is both mischievous and emotionally grounded. British Wit and Fantastical Craft Screenwriters David Walliams and Kevin Cecil infuse the adaptation with a distinctly British comedic sensibility, blending Roald Dahl–style irreverence with contemporary pacing. Walliams himself makes a brief cameo as Myrtle’s befuddled school headmaster, while supporting players—including Richard Roxburgh and Robyn Nevin—add texture to the world. Walker’s direction emphasizes scale and visual storytelling, creating a lush, storybook environment that feels tactile and alive. The Fing itself is realized through effective puppetry and visual effects, striking a balance between menace and cartoonish charm that should resonate strongly with younger audiences. Conclusion Fing! succeeds as a rare family film that entertains across generations. Anchored by a breakout child performance and powered by Taika Waititi’s unapologetically eccentric villain turn, the film delivers warmth, whimsy, and just enough edge to keep adults engaged. While clearly aimed at children, its craftsmanship, humor, and affectionate absurdity suggest it will be equally enjoyed by parents—marking it as one of Sundance’s most crowd-pleasing discoveries.

Sweet Jesus...

#Sundance2026 no 3 FING! A delight. Great film for the whole family, basically the Australian version of Paddington, with all the same perks. Extremely funny and creative, and far better than last year’s Sundance muppet film. Taika MVP. #SundanceFilmFestival

Taika Waititi says he joined the @sundanceorg family comedy “Fing!” because it was something his kids “would find really fun and silly.” “Often you’re being told to reel it in and tone things down when you’re acting,” he says. “That was not the case at all. It was bigger. It was better.”

This new gen absolutely have no morals or respect. They're straight up hateful for no reason. Bruno Mars is an artist who stays out of drama & only focuses on his craft yet they're still hating on him, just to favor their own favs. Social media & streaming have ruined everything.

@Falkarious @headnavy @Sucocu @fraqilethings Not only that. There are many nuances. These could be past mistakes related to addiction or mental health ect that were openly admitted to, and people tried to become better and grow.

@headnavy @YulYY4 @Sucocu @fraqilethings I dont think it's that. People knew but they were able to separate the art they like and the person who created it. Something we seem to have forgotten how to do over time

Yall are so tiring with this fake twitter activism omg. Not everyone’s chronically online to know everything about everyone. She was an icon. Also a shitty person. Half the internet discovered the last fact yesterday, myself included. Chappell apologized. Let it be.
