Discworld Will Get Faithful TV Adaptations
Narrativia, Terry Pratchett’s production company, announced–on what would have been the Discworld author’s 72nd birthday–that they’re teaming up with Motive Pictures and Endeavor Content for “truly authentic … prestige adaptations that remain absolutely faithful to [his] original, unique genius”. While previous adaptations haven’t necessarily always hit the mark, or are accused of not being faithful to the source, Prachett’s daughter thinks the new deal’s partners “’perfectly share our vision’ of what a Discworld screen adaptation should be.”
