Thread Name: Casting Terry Pratchett films
Subject: RE: Casting Terry Pratchett films
Inspired idea for a thread!
Yes, George Cole for CMOT Dibbler. Or maybe Dirty Den.
I assume we are allowed a time machine, so as to cast people from the past, or at prevous ages.
Alan Rickman is quite wrong for Vetinari, much too overtly sinister but with an air of a bungler about him which Vetinari is not. It would be a nice role for the young Leslie Phillips, a chance to play intelligence rather than folly, and the voice would work well. How about Peter Bowles?
Ysabell I think the young Fenella Fielding.
Nobby Nobbs could be Arthur Askey, or Charlie Drake, or Norman Wisdom.
I quite like the idea of Jackie Chan as Rincewind.
I think Detritus has to be Sylvester Stallone.
Igor is Baldrick!
I may be back with more thoughts on this....
Who will do Gaspode's voice?
Old Steptoe for Cohen the Barbarian.
Nanny Ogg is Irene Handle to the life.
Sergent Colon - Mike Read (the East Enders one)
Captain Carrot - the bloke who played the Russian boxer who lost in Rocky - playing way against type.
Magrat I think is Una Stubbs - she really could act.
Vimes is difficult, there has to be the big streak of street in him, yet the obsessive virtue.
