Sam Raimi is supposed to be directing a big-screen adaptation of The Wee Free Men after he finishes up with Spiderman 3...Aside from Terry Giliam, Sam raimi is about the only director i would trust with a Pratchett adaptation...i can't wait to see this

Wyrd Sisters & Soul Music were both animated features which were aired originally on (i think) BBC, and are currently available on DVD...they were good... but the books were infinately better.

Every few years net-rumors will pop-up about a Good Omens movie, but i don't believe anything's ever come of it

Pratchett's writing doesn't lend itself to film very well, because much of the wit is in his narrative style, and is subsequently lost when translated to a visual medium

...much like H2G2, when done right (original radio drama & BBC series) it is exquisitely hilarious, but when rushed (last summer's H2G2 movie) you can feel that there's a lot missing
