I just watched SkyOne‘s The Colour of Magic a film based on the first two Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett (don’t make me link those!), and I must say I am delighted by the choice of cast. Especially Jeremy Irons as The Patrician. He is the perfect choice for that character. Whenever I read a Discworld novel (and I read a lot of them) and I need to visualize Lord Vetinari (that’s the Patrician’s name, for those who haven’t read those books. Shame on you!) I see Jeremy Irons. There really could not have been another actor for that role.
So, thanks SkyOne, thanks The Mob and praise be to Jeremy Irons, the lord of all movie-villains (he could play anything, though, even female roles, probably).
