The Slumdog Millionaire director admitted that he was previously attached to the big screen adaptation of Pratchett's fantasy novels, but claimed the project had since fallen through.
"It's fallen apart," he told Empire. "Frank Cotrell Boyce and I were going to do it for DreamWorks but sadly no longer. Sorry about that - wonderful novel[s]."
On the prospect of working on a new Judge Dredd film, Boyle said reports linking him to the 2000 AD sci-fi franchise were not accurate.
"Where has this come from?" he said. "Someone asked me about Judge Dredd the other day!
"I hated the last version of it; I can't imagine the next one will be any better."
