YES!!! THE COLOUR OF MAGIC COMING TO A SCREEN NEAR YOU
- Thread starter Sand Rat
- Start date
I\'m sorry, but I can\'t even imagine a good film version of that book. Don\'t get me wrong, I really loved reading it, but it just didn\'t seem to have a cinematic pace. To make it into a cohesive movie there would have to be so many changes that the source material would be buried.
That said, I\'ll probably go see it anyway.

There really needs to be soe narration through the film to add the Pratchett edge to it. Also, I have a couple of reservations over the proposed castlist. They\'re saying David Jason will play Rincewind but he played Albert in Hogfather which is a very different character. Can\'t really picture him in this role and it looks like they\'re just trying to hold on to a big name (for UK audiences) no matter what. Also, Samwise Gamgee as Twoflower? No offense to the former Goonies star but Twoflower is supposed to be from an oriental style background not a hobbit.
Oh well, I know I\'m going to watch it and like it no matter what - Pratchett\'s like Derren Brown in that respect.

That being said (about narrative)
I think \"Reaper man\" and \"Mort\" would translate well into picture format.
Maybe wishfull thinking, Death cracks me up lol
I think Nicholas Hurst (is that his name? Rodney from Only fools and horses) , would make a really good Rincewind.
Or the other guy from \'The Office\' and Pirates.

Nicholas Lyndhurst? Maybe they got confused with him when they said David Jason. Steven Merchant could be hilarious as long as he stays in character and doesn\'t just end up being the same as all his other roles (which seems to be him). I\'ve always pictured Rincewind as gangly so that would work.

I\'ve yet to get around to reading some of the books. One I\'d like to see a film of (although like his other stuff, probably wouldn\'t work), is his collaberation with Neil Gaiman, Good Omens.
While I am thrilled about the Colour of Magic becoming a movie I can\'t shake the feeling that Tony Robinson would be a great Rincewind.
I just saw that he had a part in Hogfather too though I can\'t recall seeing him.
EDIT: I change my vote to... Hugh Laurie!
