Sir Terry Pratchett has launched a new production company which will control the worldwide rights to all of his material across film, television, merchandising and digital media.
The executive team will be led by Rod Brown, who produced the Sky miniseries version of three Discworld novels, who will work with Sir Terry’s business manager Rob Wilkins and his daughter and fellow writer, Rhianna Pratchett, on a day to day basis on a number of new projects.
In a press statement, Sir Terry described the launch as “an exciting and natural development for me and my works, and I look forward to working closely with the team to develop new stories in areas other than just print and ebooks and, of course, seeing my first Big Screen project come to fruition.”
Rod Brown added, “This is a dream challenge for me! Having worked very happily with Terry, Rob and Rhianna over the past decade on the three mini series for Sky 1, I have grown to love the world and characters Terry has created so when Terry invited me to head up the company for him, it was easy to say yes… please!”
New projects will be announced shortly – watch Sci-Fi Bulletin for details.
