loved it. A huge amount of work, attention to the book and carefully selection of cast.. This one is crying out for crowdfunding.. an independent director with efforts to be true to the books is the only way anybody will take Pratchett from book to film. I feel Terrys work Needs that internal narrator just like the books - it worked for `hitchhikers' but you need the right narrator.

Due in part to the complexity of the novels, Discworld has been difficult to adapt to film - Pratchett was fond of an anecdote of a producer attempting to pitch an adaptation of Mort in the early 1990s but was told to "lose the Death angle" by US backers." - Wikipedia When I read that I had to burst into guffaws 🤣

@JannyKey0072 жыл бұрын
Yeah honestly it was a problem finding Cutwell, this guy saved the day by jumping in on the project last minute tbh, so even though ideally I would have spent much more time finding the right guy for the role, you just have to work with what you've got you know. Also also this work was unpaid (well pizza and sandwiches for lunch only) and the rest of the cast were actual STP fans so that was a passion project for them too (i don't quite remember but i don't think Cutwell knew the original material), so in conclusion, don't judge him too harshly, he really tried 😉
