The Color of Magic - Die Reise des Zauberers Teil 1

2008 · 63 min

A silly, affectionate romp through a lovingly ramshackle fantasy world, full of jokes and oddball characters that never takes itself seriously.

Directed by: Vadim Jean
Genres: Adventure, Fantasy, Comedy
Starring: David Jason, Sean Astin, Tim Curry

Overview: Based on Terry Pratchett's popular Discworld series of fantasy adventure novels. Naïve tourist Twoflower (Sean Astin, "Lord of the Rings") is on holiday in Ankh-Morpork. A fire breaks out, and he flees the city with an incompetent wizard named Rincewind (Sir David Jason, "Hogfather"). The pair sets out on a magical journey, unaware that the Archchancellor of the Unseen University is trying to track them down to recapture a powerful spell in Rincewind's head.
