I’ve always contended that you need three full hours to properly convert any book to a movie. I’d explain it more, but it would ruin the fun. This movie also used the concept of a computer virus, despite the fact that there are no computers in this movie. People would even get me when “The clacks are down” - it very much felt like the internet was down. the clacks” subplot is pretty much mirroring how email has hurt the postal service in real life. VISUALS: A rich fantasy world that is not too different from our own. UNCOMFORTABLE PLOT SUMMARY (inspired by this): → Con-Man escapes justice, gets victim’s daughter to fall in love with him, defeats local technology startup. Not only do they have to compete with the clacks (think: internet email run via semaphor), but there are ghosts, and mountains of unsent mail to deal with.
PLOT SUMMARY: Con-man who ruined lives and was about to be hung is given a second chance as postmaster general. All I could think of the entire time was that his voice would be PERFECT for Marvin The Robot (or whatever his name is) from Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy.
Pump’s voice was Nicholas Farrell (Torchwood, Pearl Harbor, Greystoke:The Legend Of Tarzan, Chariots Of Fire). Prosser and additional Vogon voices in the 2005 Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy movie.Īnd anyone who watched Black Books, or paid close attention to Shaun of The Dead, would recognize Tamsin Greig in this. What gives? Does he always play roles related to drums? Nope, actually, most of his roles are not drum related. Lord Vetinari was played by Charles Dance (Claus from For Your Eyes Only).Īlso, someone who played “Eric’s Drums” in 1 episode of Tim And Eric Awesome Show, Great Job - Steve Pemberton - is in this. But his shortness, and some of his bodily mannerisms made me realize it was him. Which is pretty amazing, as it’s been 30 years, he now has white hair, and was talking with his real-life English accent instead of his fake Barcelona accent from Fawlty Towers. I totally recognized Manuel from Fawlty Towers, Andrew Sachs, as Groat. More of her, please! She’d be perfect for Tim Burton movies! She could take roles that Helena Bonham-Carter is now too old for :) The lovely Claire Foy as the somewhat gothy Adora Belle Dearheart. David Suchet as Gilt ( Wing Commander, Greystoke:The Legend Of Tarzan). PEOPLE: Starring Richard Coyle ( Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time, Coupling) as Moist Von Lipwig. Fantasy stories littered with absurd and ridiculous comedy - which makes them easier to swallow, because things are never TOO serious. Discworld is full of tiny bits of satire. His fantasy worlds are very detailed, yet very much based on today’s world, if it were to take place in the past. Yet another movie based on Terry Pratchett‘s Discworld series. Not to be confused with Going Postal (1998) or Postal:The Movie (2007).
