castaliaI haven't had much fannish glee lately, so I was happy to see a few things this week that brought my squee back.
Ben Browder to star in web series, 13 6-minute episodes in a future-noir detective style. He's also been cast in a new pilot as a football coach, but I admit the description of that series doesn't really intrigue me much. I'll watch it for Browder, though.
Also, we're getting closer to the premiere of the latest Pratchett adaptation, Going Postal. I am SUPER excited about this one, as GP is one of my very favorite books in the Discworld series. There's a trailer up now:
The casting looks loads better than the last movie they did (although The Colour of Magic was already the weaker book to begin with, so I wasn't surprised it didn't translate well to the screen). Here's hoping the new Vetinari will be better. Jeremy Irons wasn't terrible, and he did look the part well enough, but the attempt at using PTerry's accent was regrettable. And as much as I like him in other things, it was high time we had a Discworld movie without David Jason cast in it.
