New Discworld Movie Casting Poll

This is a poll for fans of the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. Weta Workshop, in case you’re wondering, is the special effects company that did The Lord of the Rings, and in my extremely biased opinion as a New Zealand Tolkien geek, it leaves Industrial Light & Magic for dead.

So after each character’s name, select the best actor to play them. If I’ve left someone out who you think would be really good, don’t hesitate to use the message board.

Actually, this whole poll is pretty much moot now.
