The production is the second adaptation of Pratchett's novels as a live-action film, following the successful release of Hogfather on Sky One over Christmas 2006.

Twoflower has arrived, Luggage by his side, to take in the sights and, unfortunately, has cast his lot with a most inappropriate tour guide-a decision that could result in Twoflower's becoming not only Discworld's first visitor from elsewhere. In truth, the Discworld is not so different from our own. a flat world sitting on the backs of four elephants who hurtle through space balanced on a giant turtle. The first novel in the hilarious and irreverent Discworld series from New York Times bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett.Ī writer who has been compared to Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, and Douglas Adams, Sir Terry Pratchett has created a complex, yet zany world filled with a host of unforgettable characters who navigate around a profound fantasy universe, complete with its own set of cultures and rules.
