Good news about Dreamworks buying the Bromeliad trilogy. Casting?
We've just discovered the Nomes books, and feel faintly smug, having said, "These are crying out to be done as animations - Pixar or Dreamworks should do them." Cosgrove Hall made "Truckers" in 1991; we found it at our library (Cambridge) and it's pretty good for its time. Joe McGann does Masklin's voice. I dunno if they did "Diggers" or "Wings" though - couldn't find it on the web.

Twoflower: should be American since he's a tourist with more money than sense of danger. How about Martin Short (Innerspace, the Three Amigos); Danny DeVito (Twins, Throw Momma from the Train, Matilda, etc etc);

There is plenty of scope for dwarvish actors to be in a Discworld movie, eg. Warwick Davis, David Rappaport.

He does appear that way to me......

Not that I can think of any Japanese Actors - Chinese and Hong Kong - no probs...

How about the guy that plays Marshal Law....

kelli - ran 2 miles a day for 2012, aiming for the same for 2013

I had also heard the rumour about Good Omens being made into a film. Apparently (can't remember where I read this so my sources may be inaccurate) Terry Gilliam was up for making it until the deal somehow went pear-shaped. I think that would have been a marriage made in heaven. Can't they sort it out?

Not sure it will go ahead now that we have all survived into the new millenium and fin de siecle films/books are not so trendy any more.

Ahhh.. But If Jesus was really born (according to our Calendar) in around 4 or 5 AD then we've got a couple more years until the *real* end of Millenium (hand and shrimp)...
