Kim, you are very bad!
The BBC has announced the leading cast members for a forthcoming adaptation of PTerry's Night Watch books.https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/bbcstudios/2019/the-watch-cast-richard-dormerVarying mileage has ensued: https://twitter.com/BBCAMERICA/status/1171786597504888833Some of the casting is spot-on, but I do wonder just how loose an adaptation it's going to be when the BBC post stuff like this:Quote from: BBC release on The Watch castMarama Corlett will play the mysterious Corporal Angua who is tasked with Carrot’s training and keeping the rookie alive.Is there another edition of Guards! Guards! that I don't know about? And then there is this... interpretation of Carcer:QuoteSam Adewunmi will play the wounded, wronged Carcer Dun, out to hijack destiny itself, take control of the city and exact a terrible revenge on an unjust reality."Wronged" is not a word I would have associated with Carcer, not from what I can recall of reading Night Watch. TBH, I am not hugely optimistic about this.
Marama Corlett will play the mysterious Corporal Angua who is tasked with Carrot’s training and keeping the rookie alive.
Sam Adewunmi will play the wounded, wronged Carcer Dun, out to hijack destiny itself, take control of the city and exact a terrible revenge on an unjust reality.
The deal will see Motive Pictures and Endeavor Content team up with Narrativia, which Pratchett launched in 2012, to make several series adaptations of the late author’s fantasy novels. There are currently no details of which books the partnership will tackle, though many of Pratchett’s books have been adapted before: Sky has dramatised Hogfather, The Colour of Magic and Going Postal; Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters have been turned into animations, and Good Omens, starring David Tennant as the demon Crowley and Michael Sheen as the angel Aziraphale, was recently aired on Amazon Prime and the BBC, to positive reviews.
rldSpeaking of Good Omens, a second series has been announced - apparently Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman spent a night at a convention 30-odd years ago talking about a sequel to Good Omens, and some of the ideas did actually make it into the first series.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-57650826
