Talk:Terry Pratchett's Going Postal

Patrician Havelock Vetinari
Do we have a source for Jeremy Irons playing the Patrician? Last I heard was the talk at the 2008 Convention, in which they said they'd like to get Irons back following TCOM, but hadn't asked him yet. And Terry said that, if it came to it, he could easily justify having a different actor play Vetinari in each film. Daibhid C (talk) 16:57, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Because he wasn't that good in the role, but it was only a cameo in the Colour of Magic--92.21.233.252 (talk) 14:43, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Merge with book page?
Why does this need a separate page? Speculatrix (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:39, 20 May 2010 (UTC).


 * Separate from what? ISD (talk) 16:48, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I think he means the book article. Geoff B (talk) 16:49, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, if you mean that, I think there should be seperate, just like most films and TV shows based on books have different articles for the book and the adaptation.

The TV adaptation has numerous and significant differences from the book, ergo should have its own page to avoid confusion and an overlong, combined entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.222.200.233 (talk) 07:10, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Is the title consistent?
Just wondering if 'Terry Pratchett's Going Postal' is correct...shouldn't it be 'Going Postal (TV film)' ? That would better disambiguate the different things with a class in the title. Gazzat5 (talk) 05:46, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Plot
I've written a first draft of the plot, but would welcome a tidy up Damiantgordon (talk) 20:30, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

---changed the mention that the TV adaptation lacked the inclusion of the "Pi" subplot to be spelled correctly. It had been spelled as "Pie" like the food and the subplot mentioned is about an inventor that literally changed the nature of Pi (as in 3.141) to be 3, instead, creating a small space-time warp that is used to kill the banshee in the book. Spelling it "Pie" made no sense since the mathematical term is being discussed, not the foodstuff. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.222.200.233 (talk) 07:13, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Production
I guess this article needs a "production" section also Damiantgordon (talk) 20:32, 31 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes. I think some more information with regards to the making will be revealed when the DVD comes out. ISD (talk) 20:43, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
