About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before

'Holy Wood is a different sort of place. People act differently here. Everywhere else the most important things are gods or money or cattle. Here, the most important thing is to be important.'

Cameras roll, for the first time, on the Discworld when alchemists discover the excitement of the silver screen. But what is the dark secret of Holy Wood hill? As the cliches of Tinsel Town pour into the world, it's up to the Disc's first film stars to find out . . .

Join Victor Tugelbend ('Can't sing. Can't dance. Can handle a sword a little') and Theda Withel ('I come from a little town you've probably never heard of') as they battle the forces of evil and cinema advertising.

They're about to discover that the magic of the silver screen might be powerful enough to put an end to, well, everything.

The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Moving Pictures is a standalone novel.

One of the most enjoyable narrations of Discworld, for one of the funnest ‘easter egg’ stories in the series. A treat!

On my journey through the discworld I have to say so fair this may be my favourite I've enjoyed the journey thus far and where it will go but this story just hit a little differently. Thoroughly enjoyed it and an amazing performance by Jason Isaacs.

I think this might be my favourite so far

I love Discworld.

But this audio book brought the story & story to life even more than the book, Excellent voices by Jason Isaacs, who somehow managed to create identifiable & perfect voices for each character. Even the trolls. I enjoyed listening so much I had to slow down as I didn’t want it to finish.

Jason Isaacs is an ideal story teller for Discworld. Can you ask him to do another please? And more Gaspode !

Perfect

Dreams DO come true! Sometimes 😏

Click!

You truly on an adventure with the characters in this story. I’ve actually listened actively several times now. A clever look at the history of Holyrood(?😳) and the start of making movies for the cinematic screen.

Brilliant! Dreams DO come true! Sometimes 😏
