Let's have a dude in a golden suit

And for something completely petition-unrelated: kindkit on discworld shared these promotional pictures for the adaptation of Going Postal that have been published on Sky's official page:



I haven't been following this, and I'm mostly looking forward to this as this is really not a series I care about that much. I am not sure how I feel about Witchfinder Aredian/Mr Tulkington/Christopher Lilly/Lord Stockbridge/Maxim de Winter being cast as Lord Vetinari, but Im not likely to agree with whomever gets cast in that role. Well, unless the acting is going to be what it was in large parts of Hogfather, then I'm not sure I'm looking forward to this at all.


I love Gilt, but I am not sure the costume people know what a "severely plain dress" is.


And who is that dude next to Reacher Gilt?

Oooh, thanks for the pictures! I had no idea they were already that far into production. Going Postal must be the best of the newer Discworld novels. Hopefully, they can top the Colours of Magic adaptation.

I hadn't, either, this was a really pleasant surprise. It's definitely more likely to work as an adaptation than the other new ones (Monstrous Regiments wouldn't, I'm pretty sure of that), so I'm looking forward to this.

Although I'd have loved Wee Free Men, in spite of the prospect of CGI Feegle (not that I'd mind CGI Feegle per se, but it seems that whenever there's a larger CGI endeavour, it seems to suck resources out of other parts of the movie).
