David Tennant is returning to the world of Terry Pratchett to star in the upcoming animated adaptation of
The Amazing Maurice .
Doctor Who star previously portrayed the demon Crowley in the 2019 TV version of
Good Omens , created by Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, and now he s taking on another fantasy tale based on the late author s 2001 novel, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents - a part of his beloved Discworld series.
David Tennant has joined the cast of The Amazing Maurice .
The 50-year-old actor has been tapped to lend his voice to the adaptation of the late Sir Terry Pratchett s 2001 book The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents which is part of the author s iconic Discworld series. It is a take on the popular folk tale of the Pied Piper.
Rob Brydon, Ariyon Bakare, Julie Atherton and Joe Sugg have also been cast in the upcoming movie, joining previously announced stars Hugh Laurie and Emilia Clarke.
The Sky Cinema project will also feature the voices of David Thewlis, Himesh Patel, Gemma Arterton and Hugh Bonneville.
Toby Genkel and Florian Westermann are directing the film, with a script by Terry Rossio that adapts Pratchett s 2001 Discworld tome. A riff on the Pied Piper story, it follows a streetwise ginger cat who has the perfect money-making scam. He finds a kid who plays a pipe, and also befriends his very own horde of talking rats. When they reach the stricken town of Bad Blintz, their con game goes awry.
With the full backing of the Pratchett estate (unlike some more recent, very, very very loose adaptations), the film will also include the voice skills of Ariyon Bakare, Julie Atherton, Joe Sugg, David Thewlis, Himesh Patel, Gemma Arterton and Hugh Bonneville.
