| Re: The Colour of Magic AND The Light Fantastic coming to Sky One! Hmmm, steve coogan as Rincewind. That might work. And I love Jackie Chan, but Twoflower isn't really his role  (Maybe one of the Red Army) |

| Re: The Colour of Magic AND The Light Fantastic coming to Sky One! I don't know, Twoflower has an open, innocent and friendly expression and looks like he shouldn't be allowed out on his own, which is a role that Jackie CHan could easily play |

| Re: The Colour of Magic AND The Light Fantastic coming to Sky One! But... twoflower doesn't kick people around! I'm sure any Jackie Chan fans expecting him to play a role would expect some kickery. |

| Re: The Colour of Magic AND The Light Fantastic coming to Sky One! Absolutely, you can't have Jackie Chan appearing in something and not kicking the butt of at least fifty bad guys! Now, does Twoflower have four eyes? I know on the books he is drawn as having that many and it is mentioned briefly in the book...Think the producers of this will give him four eyes? |

| Re: The Colour of Magic AND The Light Fantastic coming to Sky One! I am kind of hopefull about this one, quite frankly I found the Hogfather a bit, well , I just didnt think it worked. There were individual fashes of fantastic acting and nice effects but I think this should have been made first! This production may be good but as most folk are saying David Jason is just a bit old for Rincewind. I think Nigel Planer would have been a better choice meself, even although he was already in the Hogfather. I on the other hand think Jackie Chan might be fantastic as Twoflower. |

| Re: The Colour of Magic AND The Light Fantastic coming to Sky One! See, I did think it was referring to glasses when I was reading the book (it's been a while since I read it so I don't know what made me think it)...but the illustrations on my copies of The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic shows Twoflower with four eyes. As in...four eyes. Hee. |

| Re: The Colour of Magic AND The Light Fantastic coming to Sky One! my cover illustrations also showed 4 eyes anyway, I think Jackie Chan could be a great Twoflower with his very respectful broken English and open expression and as he is getting on a bit himself, I expect he would like to take a break from the butt kicking and just do a bit of acting and having fun rather than joining the waiting lists for hip replacements |

| Re: The Colour of Magic AND The Light Fantastic coming to Sky One! Well this site would be relevant to our discussion  DISCWORLD: The Movie - Casting Couch I have a copy of the Art of the Discworld with a print of Twoflower and Rincewind. Twoflower has glasses and looks pretty much like the "happy snappy japanese tourist" stereotype. |

| Re: The Colour of Magic AND The Light Fantastic coming to Sky One! Great link. I agree with Paul Kidby, I think David Thewlis would be excellent as Rincewind. Nicely weedy, fair turn of speed. Doesn't look like a potato fancier, but it's a learnable skill! |

I'm really not sure about Jackie Chan; he's good, but not incredible. I think I'd prefer them to CGI the books, and then David Jason could do the voices. They're really his forte. | |

| Re: The Colour of Magic AND The Light Fantastic coming to Sky One! David Jason as rincewind! Never! Definitely too old. Not being ageist here but rincewind is late forties early fifties oldest. Wasn't even cast right in Hogfather in my opinion. Twoflower is an oriental fellow (read interesting times) Worried that if they are going to miscast so early on what are they gonna do to the witches. |
