Favourite Discworld adaptations
I recently saw Good Omens (Not Discworld, but still a Terry Pratchett adaptation) and I really enjoyed it. I was wondering what you think the best Discworld adaptations are? I saw some trailers but most of them didn’t look that great to me… But I’d love to give some a chance if there are any recommendations?
I haven’t seen them all, but I told everyone in my circle to please watch The Amazing Maurice. It’s a good adaptation, not a great one, but if enough people would go and watch it legally, there’s a higher chance more adaptations will come and it could be a win for all.
Please give The Amazing Maurice a chance. He only needs one. Or two.
Troll Bridge, from Snowgum Films. Adapted from one of Pterry’s short stories with Cohen as its main character. It’s on Youtube. You can also see the making of documentary, the whole process is nothing short of miraculous.
It started as an independent production before catching the eye of Rob Wilkins (Pterry’s assistant), I believe. And then the financing side was taken over by the estate so that the producers could work full time on the film.
Hogfather has a two part TV movie adaptation. It’s pretty good, I think. But it’s a Christmas movie, so I don’t know if you want to watch it middle of summer.
It’s available on YouTube, but split to four parts for some reason: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcGPPeBbIv0KY_r7QS…
