Raimi Looks to FREE MEN - Jan 10, 2006 - 02:57pm
i've read this book a few times, and it's priceless...as is it's follow-up novel 'a hat full of sky'...it makes sense for raimi to be doing this film, as the author is planning atleast 2 more novels in this series (the young witch series) so he'll have a whole slew of sequels to make if this one is a hit (which it will be..) anyone that has read even a few of the 'discworld' novels of which this is a part of, knows that they're some of the brightest, wittiest and most beloved books in print...in fact, i think the lastest sales records show that the only author outselling him at all is JK Rawlings (can't remember how to spell her name) anyhow, i've been wanting to see a discworld book made into a film for ages, and with any luck, if this one works, we might see some of the other subplots make it to film, the senior witches (wyrd sisters) or the city watch books (think the worlds first police force)http://www.lspace.org/art/kidby/vimes.jpg
