Wee Free Men film

[Who's Wee Dug]

They talked a bit or hinted about this at WFCon interview with Rob Brown and Terry&Rob.
Rhianna announced the news via Twitter that she is adapting The Wee Free Men. :dance:

 

[Tonyblack]

Hey Dug, maybe you can apply to be an extra.

 

[Sister Jennifer]

That's fantastic!

Gawd I'm thick. I asked if that was Rhianna the singer. I was thinking, how strange? But she's TP's daughter of course.

I catch up eventually.

Now this will be cool if it happens

 

[Bouncy Castle]

Dug's too tall.

This would be fabulous, if it happens. Live action or animated?

 

[Tonyblack]

If it's live action, I do hope they make the right choice of girl to play Tiffany.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

Indeed. Especially as I think Tiff is around 9 yrs old. 9 yr olds don't usually make very good actors.

 

[Catch-up]

Very exciting! Hope it all works out. I'm hoping it's live action.

 

[The Mad Collector]

This sounds good, the Feegles are a natural for film.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Hey Dug, maybe you can apply to be an extra.

Chance would be a fine thing built-in accent no voice coach needed.

@ Catch-up, probably not as she is a graphic artist but you never know.

 

[Catch-up]

Good point! I didn't really think of it in terms of what she does, only that she was trying to get the movie made.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

From what I know it's going to be a mixture of live action and CGI but no desision is yet made as stated by Jason on his Discworld e-zine

 

[raptornx01]

Theatrical film, or another made for tv movie?

 

[michelanCello]

How exciting!

 

[Tonyblack]

Theatrical film, or another made for tv movie?

Well I suspect that it's very early days yet. Adapting a book to a script is a long way from actually making the film.

 

[Dotsie]

@ Catch-up, probably not as she is a graphic artist but you never know.

I thought she wrote the scripts and narrative for video games, rather then designed the games herself. She's co-writer of the Watch series, so probably she's the scriptwriter?

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

She does Dotsie, but I thought she was involved with the graphics as well but I could be wrong.

 

[raptornx01]

I know she wrote Mirror's Edge, but I don't know how much input she had on the designs.
