| CAMERAS ROLL ON TERRY PRATCHETT’S, ‘THE COLOUR OF MAGIC’ SEAN ASTIN, TIM CURRY AND CHRISTOPHER LEE JOIN SIR DAVID JASON IN THE STELLAR CAST OF THE UPCOMING ADAPTATION OF TERRY PRATCHETT’S BELOVED CLASSIC, ‘THE COLOUR OF MAGIC’. Filming of the epic fantasy is already underway at Londons’ famous Pinewood Studios. Following on the massive success of ’Hogfather’ in December 2006, the BAFTA award winning team of SKY ONE, MOB Film and RHI return to magical Universe for this the second live-action outing of a Pratchett novel. THE COLOUR OF MAGIC is set to take fans deeper into Discworld than ever before, the story follows the inept wizard Rincewind (Sir David Jason) and Discworld’s first ever tourist, Twoflower (Sean Astin), on the journey of a lifetime; as the duo battle wizards, elude druid mercenaries and ride mythical dragons. But can Rincewind defeat his scheming nemesis Trymon (Tim Curry) and save Discworld from ultimate destruction? Christopher Lee joins the cast as, the voice of, recurring Discworld favourite Death. Production on the multi-million pound adaptation commenced on July 23rd with the show set to build on the grand scale and lavish scope seen on the award winning Hogfather. The Colour of Magics’ universe is also more ambitious in its breadth, with the production team determined to bring an even richer Discworld to Sky One screens, with increased prodcution values and ground-breaking CGI work. Sir David Jason, who is also the executive producer of the films had this to say: “Taking up the role of Rincewind marks the achievement of a career-long ambition for me. It was wonderful to be a part of the success of Hogfather and to be at the heart of this second family oriented adaptation, which is set to be every bit as fun and fulfilling.” Sean Astin said: “I’m honoured to be given the chance to make the part of Twoflower my own, starring in a fantasy tale that has captured the imagination of millions of people around the world.” THE COLOUR OF MAGIC is being lovingly brought to life by the production team behind the award winning Hogfater with its screenplay adapted by Director Vadim Jean, once again mucked about with by Terry Pratchett and exec produced by Rod Brown and Ian Sharples for the Mob Film Company. Elaine Pyke and Sarah Conroy executive produce for Sky One and Robert Halmi, Sr and Robert Halmi, Jr are the executive producers for RHI Entertainment.
