Flight of the Conchords’ Bret McKenzie penning fantasy adventure Moonland, James Bobin to direct

August 9, 2016 by Gary Collinson

According to The Tracking Board, Flight of the Conchords‘ Bret McKenzie is writing a fantasy adventure for Warner Bros. entitled Moonland, which will reunite him with The Muppets director James Bobin.

The site reports that the film “follows a young, 11 year-old girl who winds up in a magical world via a homemade flying bike. She immediately gets wrapped up in an exciting adventure when she’s wrongfully imprisoned and escapes to go on a mission with a knight to rescue a princess.”

McKenzie won an Oscar for his last collaboration with Bobin on 2011’s The Muppets, with ‘Man or Muppet’ receiving the Academy Award for Best Original Song. In 2013, he announced that he was working with Bobin on a fairy tale musical comedy in the vein of Labyrinth and The Princess Bride, which is presumably the same project as Moonland.
