10) WHATEVER BECAME OF THE TROLL BRIDGE MOVIE?

Some speculations from alt.books.pratchett:

Q: How many people here are aware this is being made? Or even
supported it by being an investor?

I'm an Investor, I'll be getting a free copy of the DVD when it's
finally finished and my name will appear in the credits as will all
the other investors
-- Raymond Daley

Let's hope it's not like the Warhammer film which cannot be released
due to copyright issues. A sad loss apparently.
-- Reader in Invisible Writings.

Given that it appears to have been filmed in 2004 the signs aren't
good.
-- Keith

Well given the fact that Mr Pratchett himself have written some of
the lines in the movie I see no problems for copyright issues. As
far as I know the film is still in post-production. I look forward
to my copy of it when it's finished.
-- Winterbay

Au contraire, It's the work of a very small group of people with
limited funds. They've been doing post production for at least 2
years from what I read on their web site.
-- Raymond Daley

Well, it's been publicised on L-Space Web for the past couple of
years.

4 years in post production seems a little excessive for a 20 minute
short.
-- Keith

Not when it's 2 guys making an animated CGI Troll and CGI
backgrounds to composite in on an ordinary computer
-- Raymond Daley

I'm an investor, though I've become disconnected from the email
address I registered under so while (when I remember) I can still
keep up-to-date on the site and seeing the latest on how the
CGI/compositing/etc is going, I'm not sure if I should have been
receiving more direct updates.

OTOH, I'm content to let Daniel, et al, get on with it as they see
fit. And, given the official backing it has, I'd especially like it
to be done 'right' and not just to a deadline.
-- Len

They have day jobs, and they're trying to do it right, not under a
production or broadcast schedule.
-- Tamar

And they have produced some other short movies in the meantime.
Jörg

Yep, including the now legendary Rincewind film that was shown at
the AusCon
