David Jason to play Rincewind?

25 April 2007 (12:47) The Colour of Magic Cast and Crew Films News News Archives

Several news sources are reporting this week that David Jason (who played Albert in Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather) is going to be in the new Discworld adaptation (purportedly The Colour of Magic) as none other than Rincewind. According to Digital Spy, David Jason prefers Colour of Magic over Hogfather.  TheStage.co.uk reports a tentative release (“sometime next year”).  And The Sun Online claims Jason will be “an executive producer” of the new adaptation. Be warned, though: many of these claims seem unlikely, and should be considered Big Rumors for now.
