Just thought you'd like to know that The Colour of Magic has been turned into a film too, starring David Jason (he played Albert in Hogfather) as Rincewind, a certain cuddly hobbit as Twoflower and the delightful Tim Curry as a villainous magician. But the highlight of the film is the delectable Jeremy Irons as the Patrician, little dog, widows peak and all.....
Also, Sky One has handed over money to have Going Postal filmed, to be released next year!

Re: The Colour of Magic
Mon, June 2, 2008 - 8:07 AMYES!!! When I do my little mind-game of casting all the characters of Discworld, I *ALWAYS* come up with Jeremy Irons as the Patrician! That, and Dame Judy Dench as Nanny Ogg and Vanessa Redgrave as Granny W. Gylnwth Paltrow (sp?) as Magret most of the time, when she's not pissing me off with her Valley Girl attitude.
Hope they start on the Guards! seris before too long. -
