Jeez, David Jason has done enough on the Discworld.
Pete Postlethwaite would have been amazing as Vimes.

Going Postal had:
Ingrid Bolsø Berdal … Sergeant Angua

Kris Marshall could be an irritatingly shiny Captain Carrot.

Hah, Robert Linsay as Vimes, stretch him from his sitcom stasis. Trevor Eve may have the build but probably not interested in copper work.

Vimes – Warren Clarke or maybe….Jason Isaacs
Angua – Kate Beckinsale
Lady Sybil – Dawn French
Carrot – ???
Nobby Nobs – Andy Serkis
Colon – Philip Glenister or Timothy Spall

I’m liking Warren Clarke for Vimes..

Ben Fogle or Prince Harry for Carrot..

Do you know i thought about Ben Fogle too……..but was afraid of the pi$% taking. 🙂

slimtubing, +1 on the brendan fraser for carrot, he was always the person i pictured when reading the books. plus he’s got plenty of practice in at the affable, naive type character.

Mickey Rourke for Detritus.

Peter Kay / Nick Frost as Colon.

Mark Heap as the Patrician.

Harrison Ford for Vimes?? Only if he did it properly though. Mark Heap might be good in there too… but not as both.

since it seems there are some fans on this site some of you might be interested in this monthly mailing list

Mark Heap as the Patrician.

Rickman, surely?

Peewee Herman for Patrician..

Philip Glenister +1

I’m not sure about Rickman, something like Anthony Hopkins as Lecter would be much better. Rickman panto’s it up too much.

I think they only let David Jason do the others because they couldn’t believe he wanted to. He was better as DEATH’s sidekick than as Rincewind.

Is it the one where the assasins get the “gonne”

Who would be head of the assasins??

I always thought of Vimes as being physicaly unremarkable which is why everyone underestimates him……. at the start 🙂

Head of Assasins…..Sting

I didn’t like David Jason as Rincewind either. Made too much of a pantomime of it.

Give this a thought before you scoff… Michael Gambon for Vimes?
I did initially thing Daniel Craig, but you’d have to age him up a bit.

Alice Roberts for Angua!

AFAIK Sam Vimes was modeled on Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry. So I say Hugh Jackman.

Kate Beckinsale for Sgt Angua, FTW

Nick Frost as Sgt Colon

Charles Dance for Vetinari?

Dance played Vetinari in Going Postal.

Angua was played by this Lady in the same film.
