Terry Pratchett on chapters, Wee Free Men film

2 December 2007 (18:55) Cast and Crew Wee Free Men film Moist von Lipwig Interviews Films News Terry Pratchett Discworld Books News Archives

HarperCollins has released a transcript of an interview with Terry Pratchett conducted in September. Terry Pratchett makes some interesting comments about the new chapters in Going Postal and Making Money:

Going Postal, and indeed it’s successor Making Money both have a somewhat Victorian feel to them so I thought it might be fun to go back to the glorious era of chapter headings which were practically an index to the book! In the same way I found you could have fun with footnotes, I have now learned that chapter headings can be quite amusing.

He also lets drop a hint about the Wee Free Men movie to be directed by Sam Raimi, saying, “I have got on very well with Pamela Pettler who is the script writer, so right now I am feeling quite optimistic.”
