Hope they don't get halfway through then get an 'out of cheese error - redo from start'
When I leave this godforsaken dump of a place and get a new job, that's going on the web server.

Personally I think a film featuring the City Guard would be better, y'know;

Samuel Vimes
Carrott
Nobby
Fred Colon
Sybil Ramkin
Angua etc......

And of course the 'Dog Botherer'

Somewhere, one day, someones going to be looking at their mixer desk wondering what's going on :)

Have to agree with that - just re-reading he guards books again now half way through men at arms at the moment but who would you have playing who?
Would you go for new unkown actors or would you get more established names to play the characters?

Christopher Walkne as Vetinari. The guy's scary enough out of chracter :)

Theres a Scene in the Prophecy where he's perched on  a roof and the expression on his face just says 'I'm not killing you now because you're interesting'

just been watching comedy connections and they where featuring red dwarf
It was either Rob Grant or Doug Naylor at the end talking about the possability of a red dwarf movie and he was saying that had spoken to an american production company and they had sudgested recasting the roles for a film with .....
Hugh Grant as lister and then they had asked what was Emma Thompson doing these days ..... ](*,)
He said he left the meeting shortly after that.
