What Will be the next Terry Pratchett film

[michelanCello]

But why Sourcery? They want to make a Rincewind movie? Fine, let's do Eric, or The Last Continent...
Anyway, we'll see. In the end all that matters is that it shouldn't be David Jason who plays Rincewind...

 

[KPDGaskell]

It would make sense to do sourcery seeming as it's the next Rincewind stroy after the colour of magic / the light fantastic and eric starts off with Rincewind in the dungeon dimensions and is fairly short.

i'd like to see a few of the watch books done personally but sourcery has been where the hype was.

I still can't understand David Jason as Rincewind.
Great actor, yes, but you can't fit square pegs into round holes.

I think the watch books would make a great TV series. The charachter development would work great.

Short is sometimes an advantage for TV/movie adaptions though...less to cut out...

I'd love to see the Watch books, but I can't think of anyone who would do Vimes justice...

 

[pip]

Not david jason as Vimes anyway

 

[BatrickPatrick]

I can't think of a single person who could do it. =/

I was just about to say he was perfect for the role...

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

At Hogwatch last November Making Money was memtioned. but as you see we are all being kept in suspenders or should that be suspense.

 

[Finomans]

I'd be happy if they'd do something with the watch. Those have always been my favorite books so why not make a movie of at least one.

 

[Penfold]

I reckon Guards! Guards! would be the best since it not only introduces the Watch but would also be one of the easiest for those not acquainted with Discworld to understand. To paraphrase (or misquote ) Sir Terry, "Its a story about cops. Just because I included a dragon, somebody decided that made it fantasy instead". I took a friend, who had never even heard of Sir Terry (let alone the books), to the stage production starring Paul Darrow and she managed to enjoy it; despite normally having difficulties following the plot of a Star Trek episode.

 

[fords]

I can't think of anyone other than Clint Eastwood as Vimes, but I've come to accept that's not going to happen

 

[pip]

not liam neeson then.
He was trying for the vimes role in A team with that cigar.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

I can't think of a single person who could do it. =/

I always thought David Thewlis would be good as Rincewind. At least he's the right age!!

 

[Tonyblack]

And what age is that?

 

[pip]

Rincewinds age hmm.
Well he's too old to be young but too young to be old.
Hope that clears it up. 8)

 

[ramtopsman]

Rincewind

Actually he would make a great rincewind =]

He would be perfect for the part

 

[Bouncy Castle]

I thought Rincewind was in his early-mid thirties.

 

[ramtopsman]

I thought Rincewind was in his early-mid thirties.

I always thought he was aswell but when you look at the artwork on the books he is always depictaded as having white / grey hair

 

[Bouncy Castle]

Really?

This is a Paul Kidby sculpted portrait head.

Artistic licence, I suppose.

Just like Twoflower on the cover =4 eyes.

Seems like all wizards were white beards to Kirby, still made for fun artwork, though.

And I agree Thewlis has the look, haven't really seen him do absolute panic, though, he is usually and authourity figure or an anarchist.
