Posted by CowboyNeal on from the silver-screenings dept.

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 was amused when PTerry was talking about the smug way in which the Hollywood ponytails dangled what they considered a huge payment in front of him, assuming that the starving writer would faint dead away at seeing that many zeroes in front of the decimal point.

    He shrugged and told him how much more he'd earned from royalties that month and they first goggled and then shut up!

    I really want to get into him. Anyone, anything to be an (in)adequate replacement for Douglas Adams' sensibilities. God I miss that guy.

    I've read Kingdom For Sale

    IF you want to get into Terry Pratchett, why are you reading books by Terry BROOKS?

    Er... that would be "Pray to the Gods (all 13 of 'em)", right?
