Miramax picks up “Eagle vs. Shark”

Congratulations to Taika Waititi, Loren Horsley and of course, Jemaine Clement. Thanks again D for this news.

Miramax, the company behind Pulp Fiction, Shakespeare in Love, Finding Neverland, Scary Movie and its three sequels, has acquired the North American distribution rights to Eagle Vs Shark.

The off-beat comedy, starring Loren Horsley and Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords) as two misfits searching for revenge and acceptance, was shot on location in and around Wellington, and is currently in post-production.

“Once we saw the unusually witty footage from Eagle Vs Shark, there was no question that we had to act fast.

“We think his quirky sense of humour will translate well to US audiences and feel this film is a great addition to Miramax’s growing slate.”
