The Verruca Gnome Strikes Again!
Buhbuhbuh-whaaaAAAAH?
It's based on Terry Pratchett's Discworld novel, 'Hogfather.' The book is about killing a version of Santa and having Death take over for him. And the IMDB page doesn't say anything about animation either, so we're talking somehow making a live-action Discworld movie.
And, for those who know the book, the biggest question is not really who'll play Death but rather who'll play Teatime (pronounced "Tay-ah-tee-may"). The answer is Mark Warren, whose picture is incredibly difficult to find for some reason. This is the best I could do.
Of course, the biggest name attached, in my humble knowledge of actors and their relative fame, is David Warner. Yeah. Supposedly best known as the reporter from the original 'Omen,' you actually would recognize his voice first, since he's been a villain on half the cartoon shows produced since 1990 (Batman, Batman Beyond, Men in Black, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, Grim & Mandy, Superman, Winnie the Pooh, Toonsylvania, Spiderman, Gargoyles, Iron Man, Freakazoid!, Biker Mice From Mars, Mighty Max, Captain Planet). He was also Jack the Ripper in that movie where HG Wells accidentally sets Jack loose on the 1970s.
Anyway.
