The Chronicles of Narnia

--- Quote from: Hat ---Khar: I have my doubts about a decent Discworld movie, too much of the really important/awesome stuff isn't speech or blocking/action, and would be hard to put into a movie. On the other hand, if they turned the Belgariad into a movie series, I would dance and cry like a small child.

--- End quote ---


They'd just have to do their adaptation properly. Wyrd Sisters and Soul Music have both been turned into decent cartoon series, and Mort, Guards! Guards!, The Colour of Magic and the Light Fantastic have all been done as graphic novels or comics. As long as they can pare down the plot without losing too much, which the abridged cassette audiobooks prove is possible (all it really takes is shaving off a few sub-plots or less funny scenes most of the time), and, crucially, DON'T MAKE ANYTHING NEW UP, then a decent script would be easy. Of course, decent direction, casting, set design, make-up and special effects would all need to be heftily included. And I do recall that Pratchett himself is opposed to films.

ElRodente:
it doesn't look like narnia, it just looks like new zealand

and small gods would make a good movie
i'm reading it now, and bill bailey would fit didactylos pretty well

Valrus:
I'd just like to point out that the "S" in "C.S. Lewis" stands for "Staples."

Staples.

That is all.
