Hogfather as movie? Huh? Did we know this?

Problem is, though, it’s coming out in the UK. From what I can tell from Wikipedia, Sky One doesn’t generally broadcast to countries not possessed by the English.

You do know that Pratchett has had a fairly rocky history with Hollywood, don’t you? Apparently strife over a possible Good Omens movie is a contributing factor to the lack of the sequel, 668: The Neighbour of the Beast. In addition there was the Mort move:

Terry wrote a couple of script drafts which went down well and
everything was looking fine and then the US backers said “Hey, we’ve
been doing market research in Power Cable, Nebraska, and other
centres of culture, and the Death/skeleton bit doesn’t work for us,
it’s a bit of a downer, we have a problem with it, so lose the skeleton”.
The rest of the consortium said, did you read the script? The Americans
said: sure, we LOVE it, it’s GREAT, it’s HIGH CONCEPT. Just lose the
Death angle, guys.

Whereupon, Terry is happy to say, they were told to keep on with the
medication and come back in a hundred years.
