We've been talking about it (and dried squid!) here, Ramtopsman.

will be interesting to see if this finally goes through

 

[ramtopsman]

Sorry =[ didnt realize lol

 

[deldaisy]

Oh happy happy joy joy

 

[Jack Remillard]

It will be great if it gets made!

 

[Bouncy Castle]

It's going to be pretty costly on the CGI, methinks.

 

[pip]

or they could do what they used to do and come up with ingenius ways of doing the effects.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

I would imagine it will be very expensive to do the scenes with Crowley's car in flames as it drives.

 

[pip]

very true . just had an image of how cool that will be if they get it right

I have to say, this is one "up-coming" that I'm REALLY excited about.

Good Omens is such a brilliant book.

Wonder how they'll deal with the footnotes?

 

[meerkat]

Mysteriousl voice over I'd expect. Excellent news!

 

[Tonyblack]

Terry confirms this is to go ahead. DETAILS HERE

The thing is, everybody says, "Yippee! They're making a movie/TV series!"
But when it comes out, everybody goes, "Useles! Not a bit like the book!"

 

[deldaisy]

I have never said that Pooh. Books are not movies. Simple as that. Books have constraints and movies have constraints. AND both have advantages over each other as well. I can't handle the book/movie argument. If you are someone who can't stand books being made over then don't watch.

And seriously, if it introduces someone TO the book or author then good.

I could never get into LOTR. But I watched the movies. Now I can talk to people who love the books.... and not the aguement about the differences, but join in conversations I may not have had before.

 

[meerkat]

Wahey! Terry Jones is in on it! Great. I await this with more than rabid interest!

Notice pre orders were being taken for 'snuff' on amazon.

If you are someone who can't stand books being made over then don't watch.

I've got nothing against TP books being turned into movies. The only one I've seen is COM, which I didn't think was much cop. Never seen Hogfather, Soul Music, Going Postal etc. Are they any good?

 

[deldaisy]

I have seen Hogfather, COM and Going Postal.. liked them but I watched them as what they were.... referencing DW. Thought Going Postal was better than the other two. But I thought Hogfather was darker than GP.... which was an aspect I liked. See I love Death and I think the only way I would see him the same way I see him is full CGI.

I don't think anyone could ever satisfy a DW fan on every single character. You only have to look at the DW art to see that we see the characters differently.

It would be nice if a DW movie had the effects and the budget of the LOTR trilogy
