Going Postal was filmed in Budapest, Hungary because it was cheaper and the city had a fantastic architecture which fitted Ankh-Morpork. There was a good local tech, the crew had already shot Eragon and Robin Hood for example. The studio already has a fantastic back lot to which they added new sets. They were in regular contact with Terry over the set design.
We were shown drawings of clacks towers and an operator, and photos of the constructing the clacks towers.
The background folk all read the book as well as the script to get the art direction right. We then saw stills interspersed with short videos.
Terry entered and opened the theme of what the next Discworld movie is going to be. Currently it is rumoured to be Sourcery, but there’s a change of heart, going with the cast we have, e.g. Vetinari, Ridcully...
A cast with lots of spectators. Is it going to be the Wee Free Men? But Terry had a football-like ball on the table...
TP complimented Mob on doing Discworld as Discworld should be done. “We know where to get the best extras” he added.
As it’s difficult to get audience on Sky at Christmastime, the next possible showing time is Easter 2012 – that means filming in 2011.
After watching the scene with Moist on the horse, the session closed with a showing of the hilarious DVD extra “Return to Sender”.
So it will be Unseen Academicals – you heard it first!
