An American spends his holiday in Ireland, where he is introduced to the world of magical creatures like leprechauns and fairies. The first part, concluding with Rincewind and Twoflower falling off the edge of the disk in the Krullian spaceship, was broadcast on Easter Sunday (23 March 2008), at 6pm GMT on Sky1 and Sky 1 HD. Fortunately for Rincewind, the Octavo spell in his head precludes him from actually dying, resulting in several comic encounters with Death. Now, as the clueless pair set out on a magical journey across the disc, neither realizes that they are merely pawns in an elaborate board game being played by the Gods. Follows the novels closely, and filters out the clumsier humour that didn't work in writing. His Discworld series is a classic but as with all things classic, some parts are better than others. [14], David Jason was the first actor to be cast for the production, as it had always been his desire to play Rincewind in a film adaptation of The Colour of Magic. and Discworld Noir.

This might seem like Blasphemy but Rincewind is not my favourite part of Discworld and some of the later books are better than the first two Discworld books that this TV movie is based on. [11] In addition to the need to add CGI backdrops to every shot, hanging upside down from wires whilst fighting proved to be what David Jason described as "a nauseous experience". The highly episodic nature of these first two novels must have made them tough to script. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 24, 2015. Although Sir Terry was not my favourite author, I enjoyed most of his creative output (indeed Good Omens, written with Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite books). [12] The sequence had to be filmed in very short bursts as "all of the actors and stunt people could only manage around four to five minutes before they wanted to [vomit]".

(Terry Pratchett himself appears as one of the wizards, in case you're interested. True, Pratchett's story-telling doesn't move along at breakneck speed, but in this case each instance seems to be dragged out excessively. The plot of the adaptation largely follows the first two Discworld novels, The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic. The Colour of Magic is a 1983 fantasy comedy novel by Terry Pratchett, and is the first book of the Discworld series. The Color of Magic seems to have been the first of the Discworld books, and Discworld doesn't yet have the lived-in feel that the later books have. Richard Woolfe, the director of programming at Sky One, also appears as the Alchemist. Nigel Planer had also previously contributed his voice to Discworld audiobooks, as well as the computer games Discworld II: Missing Presumed...!? Next Rincewind. The effect stays even if the casting is stretched or experiences a lot of wear and tear. [5] Background shots of Niagara Falls were also taken, and digitally merged with the bluescreen film shot at Pinewood, location shots taken on a river in Wales, and CGI sequences of A'Tuin and the Discworld. Pratchett wrote quite a lot of Discworld novels, and some of them are simply begging to be put on the big screen. "[1] The scenes in the Wyrmberg were themselves shortened and simplified, reducing the character of Li!ort to a cameo and losing the characters of K!sdra, Greicha and Hrun completely. Above all, though, I found the pace of the story too slow. Terry Pratchett's The Color of Magic & Hogfather - Double Feature [Blu-ray], Snow Queen & Hogfather - Miniseries Double Feature.
