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.
'Cracking dialogue, compelling illogic and unchained whimsy' Sunday Times

Excellent Book, Excellent Reading
Jason Isaacs has outdone himself with this one, distinct accents that fit the characters perfectly, all read with perfect timing. Just a shame he didn't do more, I wish they'd got him to do the city watch series instead of Culshaw.

Brilliantly read,
Jason Isaacs gives all the characters the voices I always imagined they had. His rendition of Mustrum Ridcully is especially memorable.

Perfect
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 !

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

Good story, great narrator.
Jason Isaacs was an inspired choice for narrator. more from him, please.
The story is fun, funny, and a great example of Discworld at its best.

Awesome
I love this book and this performance. Highly recommended. why a 15 word minimum for a review though. I don't know what else there is to say.

Great but bad for sleep
Everything was great but so much of the performance was shouting. Andy Serkis did the same. Feel like there needs to be a sleep version where <10% is shouting

One to play again Sam
One of the joys of a quality audiobook is hearing things you missed on first reading. In this case all kinds of detailed film scene references. Jason Isaacs brings another STP masterpiece superbly to the ear. One to play again Sam. (Michael).

The narration is outstanding!
I wasn't going to review this audiobook as anyone considering it will likely be a Discworld fan who, like me, is using these new recordings as an opportunity to reacquaint themselves with old friends.
However, Jason Isaacs. Wow. Take a bow, that man! This was my 3rd or possibly 4th re-read of 'Moving Pictures' and Jason Isaacs gave me a fresh appreciation. I didn't recognise his name (I'm told he's an actor) but he's a born narrator. I didn't think anyone could match Jon Culshaw's narration on 'Guards! Guards!' but damn it, this Isaac bloke has proved me wrong. All the characters are distinguishable with voices to suit their personalites and mannerisms. I particularly liked Gaspode, Victor, and CMOT Dibbler. Top notch.

Holywood dreams
A great story, very well written (as are all the Discworld stories). It’s years since I read the book, so it was lovely to be transported back to Holywood.
The only downside, while Isaacs is a great actor, some of the character voices sounded quite similar to each other. Not a huge issue, just something I noticed.
