BOOSH boys working on film trilogy, musical... And a new TV series?

Sunday, April 4, 2010

It's been a while since we've heard any news from the UK comedy greats The Mighty Boosh, but Noel Fielding tells BBC Newsbeat that he and Boosh partner Julian Barratt are at work on a dizzying variety of new Boosh projects, including a movie trilogy(!), a musical, a music album and another TV series.

"(The movie's) going to be quite an adventure," Fielding said. "I don't know how much money we'll have so we'll have to be a little bit careful.
"In our heads it's like Indiana Jones, it's huge, but obviously it'll probably be more like Moon where we can have an exterior and then lots of models and CGI.

"It's set in the Arctic and we get caught up in an adventure. I'm pretty pleased the way it's going. I'm quite excited. Fingers crossed but I don't want to jinx it. It might be awful."

He added: "We've got another idea for a Rocky Horror-type musical, which is coming along. The album, we've done about 13 tracks, so that should be out soon.

"I'm doing a little bit of stand-up. I'm doing an art show. Just lots of different things really and another TV show hopefully."

By "another TV show," I'm not sure if he means a fourth season of The Mighty Boosh or an all-new series. Fielding and Barratt have previously expressed a certain amount of weariness with the characters of Vince Noir and Howard Moon and they've talked about doing a variety series inspired by The Muppet Show.
