Me too. Lol. Guess I need to read this book. I've been hearing good things about it for quite a while, just never got around to reading it.

I got the book years ago and I only read it a few months ago, I should've read it much earlier.

Looks fucking awesome.

Goddamn I really need to read this book.

Marvin has two eyes in the book.

Actually, darn it, Arthur was so perfectly cast in the series it's going to be tricky to get used to the other guy.

Itll have fart jokes.

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!

Was gonna say nice trailer find.

I read this one a long time ago.

Sadly it looks kinda campy, but if thay diliver half of the trilogy in two hous it should be a fun ride.

I say the next cult following is at hand.

The movie will not cover The Resturant at the End of the Universe; Life, the Universe and Everything; or So Long and Thanks for All the Fish. Just The HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

If I remember right, the trailer on the website is a teaser. Amazon.com is hosting the actual trailer, and then there is another one.

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

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).

I didn't see Trillian in the trailer, she better be HAWT.

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

maybe she wears contacts in the film

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

Post by **Myth** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 11:10 am

Except it's another American girl
