Third adaptation of a Discworld novel produced by Sky is finally coming to our screens. Going Postal is the story of arch-swindler Moist Von Lipwig and the beautiful, vengeful Adora Belle Dearheart. A life long traveling con-artist, Lipwigs crimes finally catch up with him in the town of Ankh-Morpork. Faced with death by hanging, Lipwig is spared by Lord Vetinari, who sees him as the perfect man for the role of Postmaster in the decrepit Ankh-Morpork post office.

For those of you who don't have the Sky, and I do feel sorry for you, here's a taste of things to come, Going Postal trailer. For everyone else, don't forget to turn on your TV sets (or set your Sky for record) tomorrow, Sunday May 30th at 6pm (part 1) and the next day, Monday May 31st at 6pm (part 2).

In his latest newsletter sent out today Christopher Paolini confirms that he is working on a book four, however there is still no official name for it (he's referring to it simply as Book Four) and no release date. Additionally, Christopher says that the book is getting bigger than he originally anticipated and we know what this means. More waiting.

For those of you who enjoy riddles, Christopher threw a hint on another piece of the 4th book containing a one-sided game of knucklebones, an evil assassin, bags of flour, a water-born battering ram, streets lined with lead, a knife in the back, and the death of a character. Intrigued?

Take a look below if you want to read entire newsletter.

The last part of Shadowmarch series by Tad Williams, Shadowheart will be released on November 2, 2010. And just like the previous book (which was supposed to be the last, but has grown too big) it has an amazing cover. Take a look at the Shadowrise cover as well.

There's still few months until the book is published, but you can pre-order it already and save few bucks as well. Amazon offers Shadowheart 34% off. You can pre-order it here.

Looks like the highly anticipated ending to Malazan Book of the Fallen series, "The Crippled God", is going to arrive later than we had hoped for! Pat (Pat's Fantasy Hotlist) found out unoficially that the book has officially been pushed back to January 2011. Take a look at his post on Westeros forum.

While this is not a good news, I wouldn't consider it strictly a bad news as well. Keep in mind that this is the final chapter of an epic story, a book that no Malazan fan would want to be a disappointment. Few months of waiting is a small price to pay for a book worthy of the saga. And in the meantime, take a look at a bit of info we posted about The Crippled God few months ago.

Christopher Paolini has still not come up with a title or estimated release date of the next book in his Inheritance series (this has to be the most common question asked on Fantasy Fan), however he *is* working on it. And here is the proof, a book fragment of the incoming Eragon book 4, chapter 4 called "King Cat".

The chapter has been released in the paperback edition of the third book, Brisingr.

There are many rumors circling around the idea of Hobbit movies. Peter Jackson, executive-producer of the movies, recently mentioned to MovieFone.com few facts about the production.

What Peter said about the Hobbit:
It's not really been delayed, because we've never announced the date. But there's so much interest that people -- newspapers and magazines, of their own account, say, ah, it's likely to film in May, it's likely to film in June, it's likely to film in September. People make this stuff up. And then if it's not filming in June, you get a story saying, "'The Hobbit's' been delayed." But it's never actually been announced.

Foundling - Author: D. M. Cornish - 312 pp. (an extensive 120 page glossary with appendices - called an Explicarium - follows the story) Review by Kevin Gerard
Kevin is the author of Conor and the Crossworlds, a fantasy series for young adults.

This novel is beautifully constructed. D. M. Cornish is extremely talented, a true artist in many respects. The prose is meticulously crafted, the illustrations powerful, and I could tell the author identified deeply with his character and story. I recommend this novel without reservation.

Today, with heavy heart I've marked almost 1,000 posts in my RSS feed "as read". Who knows what great fantasy news were there. I don't. I knew though that there is no chance in hell that I'll be able to read through the backlog. The most I can hope for is that I'll be able to stay up to date with everything new that comes into my mailbox. Being a parent really takes a lot of time, that's all I'll say. :-)

I'm not here though to complain about parenting, quite the contrary, I'm enjoying it very much! I do want to share some fantasy related news (well, not really news, since it's not very new since it premiered on 26 March 2010, but still could be interesting to some of you). I'm talking here about an animated movie "How to Train Your Dragon". I haven't seen it yet, but trailer is very promising and everything I've heard so far about the movie really wants me to watch it. Take a look at the trailer below!

I have good news and bad news. I'll go with bad first and get it out of the way. Going Postal will not air on Easter 2010 as it was originally planed. Discworld Monthly reports that it is now looking more likely to be broadcast at the end of May 2010. Pity, it would have been great to spend another Easter watching a Discworld Movie. I was already getting used to it. :-)

Now on to the good news! Sky1 posted an exclusive trailer for the movie (to make up for the fact that it's not coming in on time I guess). You can watch it here. The movie, in my humble opinion, looks even better than the two first adaptations!

One of the most anticipated games of this year has just made an official appearance. I'm saying official, because few months ago we already wrote about leaked video presenting features of the game. Today though we're talking official trailer and in-game cinematic.

For those of you unfamiliar with the world of Witcher, it was created by Polish writer, Andrzej Sapkowski, who set a number of short stories and a five book saga in it. Short stories as well as saga follow the character of Geralt, magically mutated monster-killer: the Witcher.

First Witcher game was a smashing success. The combination of RPG elements, unique alchemy and fight system topped with morally ambiguous world (and some nudity) placed Witcher among best RPG games to date. Thousands of gamers were anxiously waiting for news about the follow up. And now it's here! Take a look at the trailer below and visit Gamespot website to see exclusive in-game cinematic.
