There are few people out there who are as naturally funny as Rhys Darby, who you may know from Flight of the Conchords or Pirate Radio. He's the sort of guy who could even make the process of telling someone that they're going to die kind of funny. Which is exactly what happens in his latest role as a doctor in the comedy Diagnosis: Death. In the direct-to-dvd flick, Darby joins fellow Conchords Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement for a few hilarious bit roles in a movie about a supernatural force that invades a hospital for the terminally ill. Have a look at the clip and the film's official synopsis below. A supernatural force brings together two lost souls undergoing radical treatment at an experimental drug-testing facility.

Variety reports that the Clive Barker film Book Of Blood is one of a pair of genre features that Lightning Media has picked up for U.S. theatrical release. Director John Harrison had previously speculated (see item here) that Book would bypass big screens on the way to a debut on the Sci Fi Channel, but happily, that seems not to be the case now.
Like the other Lightning acquisitions, Book will hit Stateside venues late this year or in early 2010. The other flick of Fangorian appeal that the company grabbed is Diagnosis Death, a horror spoof that seems worth looking forward to since it features the cast of the hilarious HBO series Flight Of The Conchords: Brett McKenzie, Rhys Darby and Jemaine Clement.
