KEY POINTS:
Flight of the Conchords star Jemaine Clement has scored a role in a Hollywood comedy from the guy behind Napoleon Dynamite.
Clement will star in Gentlemen Broncos as a famous novelist who rips off a high school outcast at a writers' camp. Director Jared Hess (Nacho Libre), will work from a script he wrote with his wife, and Napoleon co-writer Jerusha Hess. Guess they saw Clement in Eagle vs Shark.
Production is set to start in March.
In other Conchords news, Clements' co-star Arj Barker (the American who plays egotistical mate Dave), is returning to New Zealand for the 2008 NZ International Comedy Festival, which kicks off on April 18.
Ewen Gilmour (NZ), Jimeoin (Ireland), Mark Watson (Britain), Dai Henwood (NZ) and Jamie Kennedy (US) are also in the line-up.
