I was fortunate enough to read a fantastic book recently, Going Postal by Terry Pratchett. I also recently found out that it was being made into a movie in Pratchett's native England. Moreover, I discovered that the star of the movie is one of my favorite actors(Of which there are, admittedly, many, but that's not the point.) Richard Coyle.
Though I was a bit unsure of the casting decision, it turned out for the best. Coyle makes an excellent leading man.
Terry Pratchett himself has a great deal of skill combining the underlying themes of his work with his Quirky sense of humor, which makes for a very interesting read, and hopefully a very interesting film.
Now that we've covered why I'm excited, there is still the other half of the title to deal with. As I said, this film is being made in England. Though I've searched, I've found no way of seeing this movie outside of the UK.
If you'll excuse the cheap dramatic gesture...
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Alright, now that that's out of my system, I'll simply respond with a dignified hope that somewhere, maybe through BBC America, this wonderful looking film will arrive stateside.
You may have to do it psuedo old school - wait till you can rent it - via netflix. Which by all accounts can't be too long. Shite, I remember the days it took a year or more for a movie that was at the theater to come out on VHS. Yeah, that's right. I remember VHS! Hell, I remember when my neighbor had a beta max player!
