US network HBO has said that there are no plans to make a movie based on the Flight Of The Conchords.
Bret McKenzie, one half of the comedy folk duo, had spoken of his eagerness to make a film version of the cult sitcom.
However, a rep for HBO told NME: "There are no plans for a Flight Of The Conchords movie."
McKenzie, currently promoting "
The Muppets" - to which he contributed a number of songs - had told
New York Magazine: "
We're [Flight Of The Conchords] planning to do solo tours at exactly the same time. On the same venues. And we’re going to play the same set list. We'll play the same songs, simultaneously. We're loosely planning to tour in the next six months, yeah."
"We definitely want to make a Conchords film. Working on this big studio feature makes me excited about a large-scale Conchords movie with big musical numbers."
Both McKenzie and co-star Jemaine Clement confirmed in 2009 that there would be no more episodes of Flight Of The Conchords following the end of the show's second season.
