Apparently Sky One are doing a version of Terry Pratchett's first Discworld book with David Jason as the cowardly wizard Rincewind.... not a good idea

But its entirely possible that they are unfilmable.
Hogfather was one of my favourite in the series.
The adaptation.... yeah, no that great.
And David Jason as Rincewind??
Bit on the old side there Dave...
Unless the whole book and character is going to be bent around the star quality of David Jason, like in those illustrations of the effects of large objects on gravity which involve a bowling ball and a rubber sheet.
he's far to old far Rincewind!!!!!! maybe during his "open all hours" days!
nononononononononono
Mr Sideney in Hogfather was how I always imagined Rincewind to look.
How about Masi Oka from Heroes as Twoflower?
Agree on Masi Oka for Twoflower! He's a pretty "big name US actor" these days. Maybe Jackie Chan. :eek:
I think Jackie Chan would be too old to play Twoflower in CoM. He would have been okay to play him in Interesting Times though
I think that they would be better off using one of the later books, Guards! Guards! perhaps. There are plenty of characters that you can empathise with, plus the story is almost all in Ankh-Morpork so they could use some of the same sets / locations etc.
Either Guards, Guards or Wyrd Sisters
And I would love to see them do Wyrd Sisters.
i was pleased with the fact that the Discworld is being looked upon in a different light and getting recognised, but what was produced was to not very good.
the casting of Nobby Nobbs was awful!!!!!!!
I agree, if they are going to do The Colour of Magic then Makenzie Crook would make a great Rincewind.
While I'd like to see Wyrd Sisters done, it has already had a screen outing in the form of the Cosgrove Hall animation that Channel 4 showed a few years ago. I think it would be nice for one of the other books to have a chance.
so david jason will be playing del boy once again whoope do, agree not a good idea giving this one trick pony another chance to fcuk up in another discworld role :mad:

Now he is my idea of Rincewind......
Maybe that's because Eric Idle provided the voice of Rincewind in the PC games ...
I know, but I thought it would help to show a picture
