The Wee Free Men

As an avid Pratchett fan i've been wanting to make this into a film for a very long time and was sad to hear a few years ago that Sam Raimi was going to be turning this particular book into a big screen movie. I still find it odd that it is this particular book rather than any other and that the original news appeared about two months after i had suggested it on the Terry Pratchett forum....but anyway.
The film seemed to vanish off the radar, but after a bit of research it would appear it is still in development for 2010 with Raimi still attached to direct.
Pamela Pettler (9, Monster House and Corpse Bride) is attached as screenplay writer and its being produced by Buckaroo Entertainment.

I won't make any judgements as of yet..but i feel that if the film stays in the states to be made then it could all go very wrong!
