Rumors of Pratchett Film

kongjie writes "The BBC reports on the rumored possibility of Terry Pratchett's novel Wee Free Men being made into a Hollywood film, with Raimi attached to it. This would be the first, although in the past his stuff has made the television screen."

I can't believe I'm missing the boat because it's too subtle or too British, but maybe that's the case.

Or maybe you're just growing up. when I was a kid, I liked Gaiman stuff and Monthy Python stuff, They Might Be Giants, etc. This is all juvenile, dork humor, really. Most fans of this kind of stuff tend to be people who are emotionally and/or socially immature. Once you grow up a bit, all of this stuff seems painfully dorky and un-funny.

Yuck

Wow. A film based on Terry "I crap out a book every five seconds" Hatchett. About as thrilling as a film based on something by Piers Anthony. I'll pass.
