The Colour of Magic Cast Update - Pete - 29 Aug 2007 9:55 PM
Several more cast members were announced a last month for the upcoming adaptation of The Colour of Magic by Sky and The Mob Film Company.

Among the other actors: Nigel Planer is the Arch-Astronomer, Marnix again appears as Death, Nicholas Tennant (who played Corporal Nobbs in Hogfather) is the Librarian (prior to transformation), and Terry will again appear in a cameo role.
David Bradley, who plays Argus Filch in the Harry Potter films, will be playing Cohen the Barbarian. Laura Haddock plays Bethan and Herrena (the Henna-Haired Harridan) is played by Liz May Brice.

Apologies again for the late news!

I'm not sure if this counts as 'official confirmation', but here's a link to the cast-listing off of the Internet Movie Database:

How did I miss it? *hangs head in shame*
It would be slightly better if I hadn't gone and linked to IMDB half a dozen times in teh news post
That will do nicely as confirmation and I've changed the news post accordingly - cheers!

Blimey! Pack those girls in!

Erm!! I don't mean to nitpick but surely James Cosmo is playing Galder Weatherwax not Galder Ridcully.

Well spotted. Maybe they've made a composite character?

Yeah, I did scratch my head over that, however I posted it verbatim as my memory of the books is a little sketchy.
