Effects-strewn, feature-length, TV adaptation of the first two novels in Terry Pratchett`s "Discworld" series of comic fantasies. Sir David Jason stars as the jaded, incompetent wizard, Rincewind, who unwittingly finds himself playing guide to naive tourist, Twoflower, when the two are forced to flee from the city of Ankh-Morpork after a terrible inferno. The film co-stars Tim Curry and Jeremy Irons, while Brian Cox narrates, and Christopher Lee provides the voice of Death.

In the city of Ankh-Morpork things are going badly for failed wizard Rincewind (David Jason). Recently expelled from the Unseen University, Rincewind reluctantly accepts an offer to guide hapless tourist Twoflower (Sean Astin) on a journey across Discworld, unknowingly setting in motion a chain of events that threaten both their safety and the existence of the Disc itself. With Rincewind`s arch-enemy, the bloodthirsty Trymon (Tim Curry) in hot pursuit, can the inept duo save themselves and Discworld from destruction.

  • Nicht von schlechten Eltern!

    The Color of Magic ist meiner Meinung nach die beste Pratchett-Verfilmung bis jetzt (auch wenn mein Liebling der Tod nicht so oft zu sehen war ;-). Gute Story (klar bei diesem Autor), gutes Drehbuch, alles wunderschön in Szene gesetzt (obwohl TV-Produktion ^^) und mit Top-Schauspieler versehen (auch wenn wir Leser uns Rincewind natürlich etwas grösser und defintiv jünger vorgestellt haben, hat David Jason trotzem ne erstklassige Arbeit abgeliefert!!!). Vorallem Tim Curry als machthungriger Zauberer Trymon, der einen Konkurrenten nach dem andern über den Jordan schickt und schlussendlich dem Erzkanzler der unsichtbaren Universität Galder Weatherwax (wunderbar gespielt von James Cosmo) ans Leder will, haut einen schlicht um :)
    Fazit: Einfach genial und auch jedem Nicht-Kenner der Scheibenwelt zu empfehlen!!!!

  • fantastisch
