Glod damn it!
It Stinks!

The Colour of Magic will premiere on March 23rd and 24th... only in England. Made by the same company who did Hogfather, it looks like it will be pretty faithful to the novel. Judging from the images on the official site, they seem to have kept in all the things which immediately spring to my mind when I think of the book: the Librarian, Bathys, the Dragonriders of Pern parody, Cohen the Barbarian1...

And the cast list looks phenomenal. I'd always pictured Twoflower as Asian, for some reason, but he's played by Sean "Sam Gamgee" Astin, in a getup that makes him look a heck of a lot like Alton Brown.

Well, Hogfather was released on DVD in the US less than a year after it aired in England, so hopefully it'll be out here soon.


1. It was Hrun the Barbarian in the book; Cohen the Barbarian was from other Discworld novels. I guess the name was too good to pass up.
