'The Mighty Boosh' plan film

Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt plotting silver screen debut

'The Mighty Boosh' are planning a move to the big screen, they have revealed.

The comedy duo are currently on a live tour of the UK, but Noel Fielding and Julian Barrett are already planning their next project, likely to be a feature film.

Fielding told BBC Newsbeat: "We've done three TV shows, a radio show, three Edinburgh shows, two live shows, a book.

"There's lots of things we want to do. We're not sure about what sort of film to do actually. We might do an animation.

"We might do a film with two characters from the show, we might do Vince and Howard. There's definitely a Vince and Howard thing to be done but there's also maybe a character thing.

"There's also a sort of musical thing. We've got a lot we could do and it's just trying to work out what we want to do next really. It's nice to sort of change it up a bit so you keep it fresh."

Meanwhile, Barrett revealed that they have not ruled out working in the US, but the form that would take is also undecided. "Obviously 'Little Britain' had to be an American version. Our thing would just be our thing, just more of the same," he said.

He added: "They're interested in it. They're just waiting and trying to figure out how we would approach it over in the States."

Agree. The Boosh jumped the shark after the first season.Season one of the MB was probably some of the best TV ever made - I stopped watching early on in season 2...

they were so funny, but they only have one joke - once you've got over the 'oh aren't we terribley ironic' thing its much of a muchnessi think they should try and write something completely new

while its true the boosh has got less good with each series, its still better than 99% of stuff on tv and i'll bet the film is better than 99% of movies out at that time.

I sort of agree, I loved the first two series', some of the best TV in ages, the third was a little weak but I still love the Boosh :)

agreed (again). the first series was amazing, but after that, everything they've written seems like it's been done to follow along with some sort of boosh cliche. if they would stop trying so hard to be cool, they could probably do some incredible stuff again.

Aren't their fifteen minutes up yet? Only little kids like them now.

If they are to make afilm then hopefully it will be a proper film not animation or a musical and they also need to think of some new jokes because the third series wasn t that great.

pfft i disagree with most of these comments. the boosh is the best thing going right now, i saw them live in sheffield and they just had me in tears with laughter all the way through their set. they have the potential to do a lot more too. i say give them a chance, usually movies make or break something like this (think league of gentlemen's film), but right now they have the potential to be the 21st century's own monty python. im just glad they have the spotlight at the moment because unlike anything in years they actually do deserve it.

I Love the Boosh to death, but i think that they had too much money spent on everything in Series 3... The Zoo was the best!

America is stealing all of our Music and Comedy, i don't see what's so goos about America, why do they all have to try and break America, it's soo pointless. The film sounds good! The boosh are alot better than any other comedy i personally think, there totally original.

i LOVE the mighty boosh... and if you just watch a live show you re-fall in love with it.although they are incredible the fame has got to them and they just try too much, it should be 100% natural...

I think the boosh are better than anything going right now and have been since the zooniverse. I loved series three but the budget was too big, i say go back to stretching tights over a coat hanger!As for hopping over to the US of A the Boosh should stay British!Making a Boosh Film is just trying too hard. To top it off, people who say they loved the Boosh before the recent reviews (eg. Boosh fest) and now are'nt so keen should'nt need idiot reviewers to dictate their own opinions... and are all wankers! :)
