You said "playing" he's not playing at all, Warwick Davis will be acting and alan will be voicing the part.

Actually Douglas Adams wrote the screen play for this movie. It's been in development for years and years.

Casting looks surprisingly good. Nobody will ever replace Simon Jones as Arthur Dent though, but atleast he's making a cameo apprearance - yay!


And the reason why he didnt go ahead with any of those scripts was that it translated badly onto screen.
This film is nothing other than a HES DEAD LETS HONOUR HIM BY WATCHING ME gimmick.

Yeah but he was going to go ahead with the film wasn't he. He didn't can it or anything.

To be honest I'm very skeptical myself as to how good it will be, but atleast it has a reasonable looking cast. And besides, the BBC tv screening was shocking. The only things it had going for it was their approach to "The book" and some of the actors (namely Simon Jones and Mark Wing-Davey). The rest of it was pretty ghastly; Trillian was awful, Ford not much better and the set and special effects were shabby (albeit due to limitations of the time).

Zooey Deschanel. A bit funny looking in my opinion, and too young to play Trillian too... but certainly not bad looking

Heh, I'm just trying to become the o'dium of "Hitchhikers". She's a much better choice than the girl in the series.

Irish culture is built on masochism and alcoholism, don't take that away from him.

You guys know that The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy is only one of the five great books in the trilogy, right? Anybody read the others?
