Answers:
Due in part to the complexity of the novels, Discworld has been difficult to adapt to film. There have been several aborted attempts at bringing stories from the Discworld to the silver screen, however Snowgum Films have completed principal photography on the short story Troll Bridge.
A fan movie adaptation of Lords and Ladies is currently being produced in Germany.
In January 2006 it was announced that Sam Raimi would direct an adaptation of The Wee Free Men for Sony Pictures following his completion of Spider-Man 3.
However, there has been one successful attempt. In the UK, Sky One commissioned a £6 million 'made for television' adaptation of Hogfather with David Jason playing the role of Albert, which premiered 17th/18 December 2006. David Jason will also play 'Rincewind' in the next Sky One adaptation, that of the first Discworld novel, The Colour of Magic.
