Terry Pratchett's Mort has apparently been greenlit

If we can't have Christopher Lee back as Death, what's the point?

>>85947859
From Disney or who?

probably disney, they had the rights before Pratchett's death and been working on it initially. When he died it switched to Moana.

>>85947859
Looks like a good writter.

>>85947956
The guy who played him in Hogfather did a fine job.

Hopefully things will be good too. Pratchett used to talk about how Mort was the one that Hollywood wanted to adapt badly, but in every talk they wanted to cut out the Death aspect.

>>85947956
Am in agreement. Who will voice death now?

>>85948024
Nah, Disney never had the rights. They WANTED the rights, but the rightsholders told them buy all of Discworld or none of it.

>>85948085
>buy all of Discworld or none of it

How would that work for stuff like the one Watch TV show that's in production?

>>85948132
Probably film rights and TV rights are seperate.

Alright, I'm getting exited.
I find Pratchett's style of writing and humor doesn't really translate well to media, but shit I like his work so hopefully it's good.

>>85948081
There's tons of deep voiced British actors still alive, like Alan Rickm-
Oh

Uhhh, Benedict Cumberbatch?

Ian Richardson? Charles Dance? They were both already in Discworld films.

>>85948151
I think in terms of what to adapt, Mort's the best choice. A lot of the jokes are more dialogue based and it's just the right length for a film.

A chance at a good animated Terry Pratchett book?

Just take all of my god damn money.

Death is even my favorite book line, though all of them are great.

>>85948288
Hollywood isnt known for being smart anon.

I'd love a big budget version of The Last Hero.
Live action, amimated, doesn't matter as long as its fucking class.

>>85947859
Well, hopefully it goes better than the last animated Pratchett.

>>85947859
Nice! Probably the easiest of his books to make into a film, if I'm going to be honest.

Also one of my favourites.
Though I would adore one on Thief of Time.

Reaper man, Thief of Time, Hogfather, maybe even the other branches like The Color of Magic and Guards! Guards!

>>85950719
The Guards series are being turned into a police procedural with some Monty Python guys writing

>>85950719
Wee Free Men is already also being adapted into a film.

Didn't we already have one?

I think Pratchett also said something about a producer wanting Death to be turned into a villain because apparently Hollywood couldn't accept the idea of Death being a good guy.

>>85951354
You'd think after the Tim Burton craze they'd be all over that.

>>85951089
Pratchett himself would love that joke.

I hope they include the dialogue from this page. I don't even remember if this is how it's phrased in the book.
I've always loved it as one of Death's most emotional moments.

>>85947859

>>85947859

One of my favorites. Reaperman a close second. Animated is a good route too, better than liveaction with awkward hallowen mask Death.

Just hope it doesn't look like total garbage.

I sincerely hope it isn't fucked up

What's the status on the Watch tv series, anyway?

>>85951354
Death kind of is a villain in the book, although not in a strict sense.
He basically abandons the job which causes shit to happen to Mort. And at the end they fight about it.
He's a villain by negligence.

>>85951512
Thanks, anon. The man was my hero as a writer, I was pretty much crushed by his death. Humor is the best way to cope.

Has there ever been a wholly satisfying Pratchet feature film? All of them from my recollection were okay at best.

>>85959325
You mean antagonist

>>85950938
Now that one could be animated. At best by >>85953667

>>85950719
Why the early ones? I found he really got into his groove with later additions to the various lines. For example, Wyrd Sisters is nowhere near as good as Witches Abroad. And as much as I love witches abroad thematically, Maskerade is way better

>>85948337
>skinny Ysabell

RRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>85960874
she was described as skinny in the Light Fantastic but otherwise ree indeed

>>85960823
You can read them out of order (I did), but they really do get better if you see the development of the characters over time. This is particularly true of the Watch stories, with Vimes developing from a cynical drunk to someone who brings out the best in everyone around him while still being a cynic. It can also depend on how much you like the thing being parodied at root - I like Shakespeare but I'm not a fan of musical theatre and the Phantom of the Opera so I much prefer Wyrd Sisters to Maskerade.

Small Gods is my favourite, and as a practising Catholic I'm not sure what that says about me.

>>85960823
I think he's always gotten me humor wise. Not laugh out loud, but still amused. I especially liked it when he worked with Neil Gaiman on Good Omens. I haven't really adhered to a sequential consumption of his books so I can't realistically say that I've been able to see a rise or dip in his quality. It's such a broad little disc he works with that I'm sure I'd be able to read all 46 novels, just not in such short order to say he rose or dipped. It's probably arguable that some books were good, and some weren't as good.

Iirc my first Terry Pratchett book was Thief of Time. Then I got into the plots that revolved around the Watch, even though in the ones I read it increasingly became about Vimes, which I was ok with. I just finished listening to Mort, literally yesterday. I intend to do the same for Reaper Man.

Incidentally, how does Death get away with being treated like the main character in books like Mort, and Thief of Time despite not being the protag? Feels like a tease.

>>85951011
There was also a stop motion animated series based on Truckers.

>>85960954
That's fair. I also adore the character growth across the series, which makes Carpe Jugulum very special to me seeing how far Margat comes

Fuck yes! Do it justice guys!

Then give me City Watch trilogy starring

Dominic West as Sam Vimes
Richard Madden as Captain Carrot
Christopher Eccleston as Nobby Nobbs
Cliff Parisi as Fred Colon
Benedict Cummberbatch as Vetinari

>>85960961
>Incidentally, how does Death get away with being treated like the main character in books like Mort, and Thief of Time despite not being the protag? Feels like a tease.

Because he's the main character of his series of books, even though he's not necessarily the main character of each book, I think.

Seriously the Tumblr crowd would eat this up and it's a cool intro into industrial Era Discworld.

>>85961690
I'd have said that Susan was the main character of Hogfather

>>85961711
>Seriously the Tumblr crowd would eat this up
No they wouldn't. It has realistic depictions of women being not perfect people

>>85961660
Not nearly large enough to fit the physical side of the role. But on the other hand, Carrot as a character isn't something Hollywood would ever be able to conceive of, let alone correctly depict.

>>85961711
But it shows that women can be just as incompetent, greedy and self serving as men. Tumblr would hate that.

>>85961793
I don't know, physically fit nice guy with bags of charisma doesn't sound very easy to screw up

>>85961608
>Benedict Cummberbatch as Vetinari
The perfect Vetinari was already cast, don't fuck it up. Charles Dance was amazing in the role.

>>85961608
I don't think Cummberbatch can be subtly intimidating enough for Vetinari, if I had to say someone other than Charles Dance I'd go with Mads Mickelson

>>85961818
And if you think about,when Vimes shows up at the end with the ankh Moorpark army to bail them all out and sage their army they'd probably call it an aggressive act of cis white male imperialism.

>>85961690
>Reaper Man
I already said I was interested in that one.

>>85961857
He's mentioned as practically a giant in the books, with "simplicity" being his most defining character trait. His charisma came from his almost simple-minded directness, dedication, and kindness, but he explicitly wasn't simple-minded, and he frequently seemed almost inhuman in his outlook and approach to problems. I don't think Hollywood would be able to capture any of that effectively, or even conceive of a protagonist like that in the first place.

>>85961818
>>85961738
If they can tolerate that in Steven Universe they can tolerate the best character being a dragon wrangling wife.

>>85962103
>Coming this fall, Rob Snyder is Captain Carrot...

>>85958482
it is not at all how it goes in the book. Just doing dialog
>NO. I CANNOT BE BIDDEN. I CANNOT BE FORCED. I WILL DO ONLY THAT WHICH I KNOW TO BE RIGHT
>YOU DON'T KNOW HOW SORRY THIS MAKES ME.
>Mort: I might.
And then Death laughs and laughs as the grains empty and he turns over the hourglass.
I guess they wanted Death to speak more on both Mort and Ysabell, rather than focusing just on Mort.

>>85961967
Vimes was there the whole time though, and he does emphasize that it's really only Polly and her group that can get anything done. If they don't help him, he has to continue with the stupid war.

>>85960954

I'm a Catholic as well and Small Gods is one of my Discworld books. I guess it is while the book criticizes religious organizations it doesn't really demonize them and says they can be better if their recognize their flaws and improve.

>There will never be a 90s Disney Renaissance Mort film
>You will never hear the Ashman and Menken soundtrack with Christopher Lee singing
>You will never be hyped for the Soul Music musical sequel

>>85960954
>>85962327
Small Gods is absolutely pro-faith. People needs Gods and Gods need people, the problems come about when the Gods forget that, and when the religious organization is about forcing people to serve the faith, when it's meant to service the people with the faith.

>>85948081

James Earl Jones?

I just found out there was one Tiffany aching book that came out after Terry's death. I kind of wish I hadn't considering Granny Weatherwax dies in it. I'd much prefer to imagine these characters are still out there and there was never really a goodbye or ending for them[\spoiler]

>>85950938
Yeeeesssss! I love that one. And it could hit a wide audience of fans so it makes sense

I hope this is good, I watch the BBC Hogfather every Christmas

>>85959828

Hogfather's actually surprisingly great.

Just wish they'd tried harder when casting Nobby. He's not even ugly, he just has a goofy smile.

I want to believe. Neil's American Gods adaptation looks very good, so maybe this time they'll do justice to one of Terry's work too.

>>85948081
>>85948197
Brian Blessed or gtfo

The old Discworld animations had great voice acting and TERRIBLE FUCKING AWFUL HOLY FUCKING FUCK animation. Let's hope they still focus on the voice talent but spend more than a couple of dollars on the animation too.

They should do a City Watch series. Thud! and Night Watch were the best books afterall. And it's not as though Guards! Guards! is a bad starting point.

Men at Arms is a more polished story, but I want to see the special kind of gritty, hive-of-scum-and-villainy aesthetic that Ankh-Morpok had at that time translated to the screen.

Ok, but it introduces the the nature of divinity on Discworld and several other points about how the discworld works in a way that doesn't require you to have any prior knowledge of the setting. Which makes it great as an entry point

Better than Colour of Magic I'd say, considering how drastically different the tone of Colour of Magic and Light Fantastic are from the rest of the series

Whatever happened to the Unseen Academicals adaptation?

After Hogfather and Going Postal I wish we'd gotten some more of those, like Lords and Ladies or Moving Pictures. And what's that one with sweeper and the turtle god? Or the auditor that becomes human and goes insane?

And after Mort we need Reaper Man to be an artsy classically animated movie with giant lushly painted cornfields.

>>85967674
Pratchett always put that sort of thing in his books though, what do you think Thud! and Equal Rites were about?

>>85948224
I also think it's also a good choice to adapt because I feel like it's one of the few books that could be easily improved by adaptation. The main problem with the original book is that Death isn't characterized nearly as strongly as he was in later books, which makes his actions seem sort of aimless and weirdly shortsighted for an immortal being. Just lift some stuff from the later books to flesh out his motivation more and the story is ten times better.

>Night Watch is still apparently going to happen
>may have some pythons involved

It needs to happen already!

They said it's going to be set after the books which is a shame, the last Watch book was terrible. Jenkins is now a killing machine rather than a butler who used to be a thug and Vimes is basically the avatar of a god.

Semi glad Rihanna didn't carry on the Discworld books, that book was clearly ghost written, giving far too much reverential treatment to characters.

So how many times has Hollywood almost butchered Pratchett's work?

Wee Free Men was going to be adapted but it was going to get the Borrowers treatment and move it to modern day America.

Pratchett on the last time Mort was picked up/optioned:

"A production company was put together and there was US and Scandinavian and European involvement, and I wrote a couple of script drafts which went down well and everything was looking fine and then the US people said 'Hey, we've been doing market research in Power Cable, Nebraska, and other centres of culture, and the Death/skeleton bit doesn't work for us, it's a bit of a downer, we have a prarm with it, so lose the skeleton.' The rest of the consortium said, did you read the script? The Americans said: sure, we LOVE it, it's GREAT, it's HIGH CONCEPT. Just lose the Death angle, guys.
"Whereupon, I'm happy to say, they were told to keep on with the medication and come back in a hundred years."

>>85971696
I didn't like the Going Postal adaptation because I felt like it killed the two best aspects of the original book, which were the characters of Moist and Reacher Gilt. The book is good about showing how Moist uses his skills as a con artist to manipulate crowds in his favor and emphasizing just how much fun he has doing it, while also establishing how he feels guilt for how he used those skills in the past. It makes the character fun without being over-the-top. But the movie strips out most of the character's charisma and instead doubles-down on his guilt (and adds a weird subplot about him still trying to escape the job even though Mr. Pump still exists) which feels hollow without the book's upbeats. And Reacher Gilt in the book was an intelligent counterpart to Moist who performed con deals with entire companies, whereas in the movie he was a simpering idiot who seemed to be crashing the company more out of incompetence than greed.

>>85961608
>Christopher Eccleston as Nobby

>6ft tall heavyset guy instead of gangly midget

I can see his voice working for the character, but I'd rather see Timothy Spall lose a few pounds instead.

They actually do love it. I'm monitoring the tumblr of a girl I used to know before she went crazy and accused me of being a rape apologist or something over the Jaime/Cersei Sept scene on the show. Before our falling out, I recommended Discworld to her. Of course the only book she read was Monstrous Regiment, going on and on how gay Angua was and that all other Discworld books were mysogynist filth. Especially Tiffany Aching, as she carries a frying pan, and Nanny Ogg, as she's an elderly sex-positive person. PIV is always rape, remember.

You honestly couldn't do book Nobby justice with anything other than a CGI motion capture character. Nobody has proportions or a face like that in the real world. Ecclestone would make a bloody good Vimes if it weren't for the fact he's phyically imposing, I think Phillip Glennister would be a good match if he lost about 80 pounds so he looked like a skinny recovering alcoholic.

Dunno, prosthetics can go a long way.

isn't this all about an animated feature length movie?

Maybe not. Those are all the usual Discworld reccs for new readers, if what you saw there wasn't enough to make you want more then you might not want to bother. You aren't meant to get blown away as such, those ones are just meant to to suck you into the thirty plus book ongoing narrative which is half the appeal of the Discworld. Seeing how this silly little high fantasy parody becomes a fleshed out satirical version of our own world. You may want try his kid books like Johnny Maxwell or the Bromeliad, or Good Omens if you like Neil Gaiman. Prachett never really makes me laugh out loud as such, I just like the contrast between the dry arch humour and the odd bit of introspection on human nature.

Shepherds Crown was good for me. You have to give him credit though, his Alzheimer must have been pretty bad at the time considering he died not long after sending it to the publisher. He was a real trooper.

from what I'd read he hadn't really gotten the book to how he wanted it when he'd died.
Gaiman said that Granny wasn't really dead the whole time. She'd put herself into You, you can still notice bits of this in the story. At the end of the book it's revealed that Granny is still alive in You, but she says that she's "leaving on [her] own terms" and it's only then that Death actually comes for her.

With that in mind, it's pretty clear that Terry knew it was his last book, considering what he'd always said about his illness and not wanting it to dictate things for him. Wetherwax's death seemed that it was supposed to very much be Terry saying good-bye to his fans.

Just thinking about it makes me tear up. Discworld was such a big part of my life growing up.

Yeah he did not have the time to do his second pass that he usually did.
