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 listened to in any order but Moving Pictures is a standalone novel.

I’ve been a long time fan of disc world. I’ve read this book many times, but the reading of it made me see some of the jokes I’d missed over the years.
I’ve been a fan of Jason’s work for many years, but for me, he really made this book alive.
As a fan of Pete sarafanowicz, was a shame he wasn’t used more, but a great version of this book for me.
Laughed out loud many times.
The world lost one of its greatest bards when Terry sadly passed, but this showed for me how much the person used as narrator can effect a story.

I’m a Terry Pratchett fan and the quality of the narration can make a huge difference to the enjoyment level in listening. Jason Isaacs deserves an audiobook Oscar for this performance; wonderful characterisation and an amazing array of voices really bring the story to life. Loved it!
