For the next TV adaptation, what would you like to see?

[Redwood Elf]

Personally, I think they should go back to more of the earlier novels instead of jumping ahead to Going Postal...all three movies so far have been Ankh-Morpork stories...let's get the Witches started with "Equal Rites" or another option would be to do one of the stories like "Small Gods" that take place entirely outside AM.

Welcome to the site Redwood Elf!

The rumour (not sure how much truth is in it) is that the next one will be Sourcery. So possibly Sir David Jason back as Rincewind.

My vote would go to Monstrous Regiment.

Hi there....... I would like to see Guards! Guards! and then the watch books in order.

 

[Penfold]

Hellooo and welcome from me, Redwood Elf!

I agree with mspanners. I saw Guards! Guards! at the theatre and really enjoyed it. With the right casting, special effects, and production values I reckon that it could translate well to the tv.

Welcome to the site Redwood Elf.

I'd vote for Guards! Guards! The rest of the Watch books would be pretty awesome too
Me and a couple of friends were thinking about doing a machinima of one of the Watch novels. Not sure how well it'll turn out, but the results should be entertaining!

Witches Abroad.

 

[Redwood Elf]

Witches Abroad.

The main problem I see with doing WA as the first witches story is the same problem I find with doing "Going Postal" so early in the adaptation cycle...since the books are more or less in chronological order, they really should do the stories that introduce the witches first, and "Equal Rites" is really the one that starts the witches' stories, just like "The Color of Magic" introduces Rincewind and tells how he got the Luggage and so on.

Welcome Redwood Elf

Equal Rites would be a good book to dramatise.

 

[michelanCello]

Welcome, Redwood Elf!

I think you could make a good movie of Small Gods...

 

[Bouncy Castle]

I crack up when I read about the "farmhouse" that lands on the witch..... 8)

 

[BatrickPatrick]

Mort?

Or Masquerade or Guards! Guards!

 

[michelanCello]

Or Lords and Ladies... although therefore you should first make a movie of Witches Abroad... OR you could make a really long movie out of the two books. Like a six-hour movie.

It would be great to see Wyrd Sisters adapted but that's probably low on the list of priorities seeing as there's the animation. However, I just can't decide between them, the Watch or the wizards - argh!

 

[Tonyblack]

Welcome to the site, fords.

I'm wondering if they are holding off on the Witch and Watch books until they get the perfect Sam Vimes and Granny Weatherwax.

Those two roles are going to be tough ones to fill.

 

[ShadowNinjaCat]

Welcome from me too

 

[fords]

Thanks guys!

Now there's a good question for another thread. Who indeed would be the perfect Vimes and Granny Weatherwax? *ponders*

Hellooo and welcome from me too, Fords!
