With Toby Genkel and Florian Westermann on co-directing duty and a script penned by Terry Rossio, this is a Pratchett adaptation that has the full support of his estate and is produced alongside Narrativia. When Maurice and the rodents reach the stricken town of Bad Blintz, they meet a bookworm called Malicia and their little con soon goes down the drain.
Maurice is a streetwise ginger cat who comes up with a money-making scam inspired by the legend of the Pied Piper – befriending a group of self-taught talking rats.
A first image and teaser poster are online. The team behind The Amazing Maurice – which adapt's Pratchett's 2001 Discworld-set kids' tome The Amazing Maurice And His Educated Rodents, is hoping they have more luck. Some have been fitfully entertaining, others, a great big miss.
Terry Pratchett's work has not, shall we say, always enjoyed the best adaptations to screen worlds.
