Quote by Terry Pratchett

Mort isn't fashionable UK movie material -- there're no parts in it for Hugh or Emma, it's not set in Sheffield, and no one shoves drugs up their bum...

Mort isn't fashionable UK movie material -- there're no part

Summary

This quote highlights the lack of appeal Mort, a book by Terry Pratchett, holds for mainstream UK movies. It juxtaposes the unconventional nature of Mort, which features fantasy elements and a humorous narrative, with the typical characteristics of popular UK films. The absence of renowned actors, a contemporary setting like Sheffield, and the absence of explicit content like drug use further emphasize the perceived unfashionable nature of Mort as movie material.
