The directors will be the people who did Shrek (that werid looking thing with Mike Myers doing a voice). Below is a link to the story. Can someone tell why they didn't do Discworld? Is it because there were already Discworld TV things done? Of course, people in the U.S. can't see them unless they pay forty books for the video.

Try this route instead if you can't get it to work: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/ Choose "Features" from the black bar at the top. Then choose "Books" from the Features menu.
