Oh, and they remembered that they'd been richer before they met him

As enthusiastically as I have proselytized about Terry Pratchett's Going Postal (2004) for the last several years—I now find myself telling people that it's my favorite Discworld novel—I was still somewhat surprised to discover that there is an adaptation of it in the works. I'm not disappointed, I'm just not used to anyone having the same favorite anything as me. But unless I hear reason otherwise, I am really going to look forward to it. IMDb tells me that its con-man protagonist, Moist von Lipwig, is going be played by Richard Coyle. Otherwise known (at least to me) as Jeff, from Coupling. And that really has the potential to be awesome.

Yay! Quite honestly, I love the entire Discworld series and would love to see them all made into movies. I've quite enjoyed Hogfather and the animated version of Soul Music, and I just bought Color of Magic a week ago but haven't watched it yet because our TV died and it's rather awkward to try to crowd everyone around the computer with the good flat-panel screen to watch it together as a family. :)

Thanks for mentioning this; it's the first I'd heard of it.

The only Discworld adaptation I've seen is Hogfather, which I thought was wonderful. Let me know what you think of The Color of Magic!

Glad to be of service!
