Taika Waititi has revealed he turned down Cate Blanchett from starring in an episode of What We Do in the Shadows.
The latest episode of Waititi and Jemaine Clement's What We Do in The Shadows TV adaptation depicted an all-star "reunion" of vampires, featuring multiple actors who have previously played vampires in film and TV.
In the episode, the central trio of Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), and Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) make a visit to the vampire council, where they meet the original trio from the 2011 film - Viago (Waititi), Vladislav (Clement) and Deacon (Jonny Brugh).
The rest of the council is filled out by an all-star cast of actors who have played vampires - including Evan Rachel Wood, Tilda Swinton, Paul Reubens, Wesley Snipes and Danny Trejo.
