How Bruce Met Zatanna, plus the casting of the upcoming Going Postal adaption

Oh look, that dick Hush had a cameo. Presumably he was plotting to report Alfred to Immigration Services or something at the time but he was distracted by the bright colours.

Based on the Discworld novel of the same name, the story revolves around former con-man Moist von Lipwig. He is saved from the gallows by the ruler of the City of Ankh-Morpork to use his skills to reform the city's Post Office, but he has to deal with various corrupt dangerous businessmen and their hired killers along the way.

And it's got Coupling's Richard Coyle as Moist Von Lipwig,

^ In costume, though the rest are just to show who they are.

David Suchet as Reacher Gilt

Claire Foy as Adora Belle Dearheart

Andrew Sachs (aka Manuel from Fawlty Towers) as Groat

Tamsin Greig as Miss Cripslock (the lady reporter from the Truth, though that hasn't been adapted yet)

Charles Dance as Vetinari (hopefully meaning we can avoid that bizarre Elmur Fudd voice that Jeremy Irons used for the role)

And an actress from Norway called Ingrid Bolsø Berdal playing Angua,

	Yes, he question Moist after the Post Office...incident. (didn't want to give spoilers) It's very brief and only a few lines. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It would seem neither Carrot nor Vimes will be in the movie, though. They seem to be very carefully avoiding using the Watch any more than necessary. And Tamsin Grieg is not at all like I'd imagined Sacharissa. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Terry Pratchett has said doing anyting in Anhk-Morpork is almost impossible due to the Watch just taking over the story. So he might not have any Watch in the movies for a while, just so he can have the stories he wants without the characters taking over. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He's said the same about Vetinari, that he has to ration his appearances or else he risks making Vetinari look far too... nice. (Reply to this) (Parent)
