But, until then, savour Hunt for the Wilderpeople; his latest film set to hit UK cinemas this week on a wave of critical praise and popular success.
The world is about to get very well acquainted with the name Taika Waititi, with New Zealand’s favourite writer/director about to hit Hollywood with the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok.
Hunt for the Wilderpeople hits UK cinemas 16 September.
Waititi is also behind last year’s cult hit What We Do in the Shadows; pairing with frequent collaborator Jemaine Clement, best known for Flight of the Conchords, for a wildly ingenious mockumentary based around four flat-sharing vampires in Wellington.
