Hello I'm working on the promotion of The Colour of Magic, the new discworld movie made by Mob Films for Sky One below is a letter Terry recently sent us regarding the film It wasn't too difficult to turn the Colour of Magic and Light Fantastic into one movie. The project was helped by the fact that the Colour of Magic, being a kind of road movie, had no perceptible plot whatsoever other than people kept moving. Once we realised that, it was just a matter of cutting things out and splicing things together and I'm pretty happy with the result. Keen fans will say "Yes, but isn't Sean Astin not really very, you know, Oriental enough?" Observant fans, though, will know that Twoflower was merely exotically foreign until Interesting Times and Sean told me years ago that he wanted to be in a Discworld movie and so we decided that West Coast American is exotic enough! I am very pleased with it, I hope you will be too.

if the authors want to tweek the story characters on a different medium they are allowed that. kind of like with the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy film, Douglas Adams wrote and tweeked a few things before he sadly died because he can.
