I'm not sure if anyone has read this yet, but I just did so I thought I'd share!
From here (http://www.scifi.com/sfw/issue316/interview.html):
Have any of your other books sparked attention in Hollywood?
Pratchett: Oh, yeah. You probably know about Dreamworks and the Bromeliad trilogy (Truckers, Diggers, Wings) which is scheduled after Shrek 2. I feel good about that, if only because they've given me a large wad of cash which I don't have to return. There's sporadic interest in Discworld as a movie, and I could have sold options over and over again, but there's not yet been a deal I'm happy about. A key issue isn't the movie but the spin-off—I'm not in a hurry to hand Discworld over to merchandisers, and I don't need the money.
