Pratchett

I know there are quite a few Pratchett fans on here (and some soon to be introduced to Pratchett) so I was wondering what people thought of this:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0765458/

I know Hogfather is the least fave of Mic's and I have to admit I've only read it the once.

David Jason as Albert could be good and the actor doing the voice of DEATH could work out pretty well too.

If I've read it correctly, its going to be 2 x 2hr "films" which should (hopefully) mean its not cut to pieces.

A very strange choice for it, I would have chosen loads of the others before that one. How well will it turn out? Hmmmm remains to be seen, I will view it very sceptially until clips of it start coming out. It will either be excellent or very disappointing I feel I can't imagine it being much inbetween. It's going to be hard to please us fans who have been reading for decades and have a perfect picture in our heads of how it should be.

*fingers crossed*

There's already been the animated versions of Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters that were very good.

Especially Christopher Lee as DEATH.

Hmmmm... Hogfather though...

I'd prefer some of the Guards series tbh. It's pretty obvious what release time they are aiming for though.

Time to bump this....

It's looking shockingly good. Having watched the making of's and the Day 1 and 2 of the 12 days of Hogswatch.

I'm now looking forward to this.

The person playing Susan Death looks a bit of a babe too with the white and black hair.

Linky to making of and 12 Days of Hogwatch

Will try to get some DivX versions uploaded somewhere soon as I HATE flashvideo.

the clips look amazing, i didn't even know they were making this
it should be excellent

Not a fan of the books personally. I've tried to read loads of them and just not managed to get into them.

This looks like it might be good though, and I fully intend to watch it if I get chance

Edit: For some reason that's just reminded me, I've not chatted to Rhianna for ages. My ex has her on his msn list because she was living with a good friend of his a few years ago. She's a nice lass, wish I'd chatted to her more.

Snap, read a couple of the Discworld books but thought they were a bit meh.

The Making of was on last night - was just an extended version of whats on the website.

Still looks pretty good though.

I'm now officially hopeful that this will be alright rather than a pile of poo.
