No, IMDB has it pegged for this year, if that were the case we'd have been seeing trailers by now. Although aparently SKY are putting money into it so might end up on TV. There are pics of the filming around so it is happening.

Terry has always said that he didnt want to do a movie, guess someone shoewd him enough wedge. Personally I reckon Soul Music might have been a better choice.

soulmusic might be better, but hogfather will appeal to more people.
its about christmas, which will sell.
hogfather should be released just before christmas. so they got a year to finish it.

Apparently it's gonna be a 4 part mini series on SkyuOne at "the end of the year"... as it's The Hogfather.... I think we can all figure that one out!

Started thinking about the other characters... and actually...every one of them is a favourite!    :lol:

The actual list (http://www.lspace.org/fandom/afp/ultimate-discworld-casting-page.html)


Some interesting suggestions are;
Sam Vimes; Richard Dean Anderson ('Stargate'??)
Havelock Vetinari; Ian Richardson (he'd be perfect :lol: )
Granny Weatherwax Sheila Sabatini ('ex- 'Surgical Spirit' star :lol: )
Sybil Ramkin; Penelope Keith, Patricia Routledge, Jennifer Saunders (after voicing the Fairy Godmother in 'Shrek 2', she'd do well)

(surprisingly, no-one's suggested Anjelina Jolie as Angua :shock: )

Get someone with Sky to tape it for you.

 I will tape it, if only because it will probably be worth watching more than once.

 I think that Nightwatch would make a good film, finding someone to play Carrot and keep a straight face might be a problem though.

Played by the amply bosomed Geraldine James I believe (more bitty mama)!
Just finished reading Blott for the nth time

So glad they are doing a screen version, just hope it lives up to the book.
The animations are very good. I have both Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters.

erm lets thinks about this. Its on sky as a mini-series before Xmas. It'll have to appeal to all and be intelligible to all at first watch. Methinks the subtleties are gonna get obliterated and we'll be left with a sacharine pratchett fascimile

</rain>

now prove me wrong.

I dunno, few of the odd jokes from the book are there. Including the groanworthy 'LET SLEIGH THEM' from Death. Wonder how they will do his voice?

Mum and Dad are gonna record it on Sky+ but i'm not sure how that helps me tbh :(
