The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
As I mentioned earlier (much earlier), they're turning one of my favourite novels into a film - Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is going to Hollywood.
Now, in this post I'll try to gather as much information about the upcoming film as I can find on the internet. Many of you won't even be interested in this (I happen to know some of you are), but I'm mainly doing this for myself, because, to be honest, I'm very exited about this. So feel free to ignore this, because it's gonna be a long post.
First off, some essential information:
The poster you see above is actually the teaser poster - the actual poster is gonna look like this.
As you can see, I already listed the cast above, but now I'm gonna post some faces to go with the names:
---> Martin Freeman plays Arthur Dent
Mos Def plays Ford Prefect --->
---> Zooey Deschanel plays Trillian
Sam Rockwell plays Zaphod Beeblebrox --->
Here is some conceptual art, drawings of what the film should, ideally, look like:

Now for the stuff that realy really whetted my appetite, some actual screenshots:

Yes, you're allowed to call me geekboy. This'll have to be enough for now - there will probably be bucketloads of information and pictures I missed, but hey, I'm only human(ish), right?
Cheers

Like the Lord of the Rings, this movie has been waiting for the technology to catch up and allow it to be given the visuals it deserves.
See you at the foyer on May 6th!
:)
I wonder what happened to Zaphod's second head.

I'm still cynical about this movie but I will give it a try and hope it's good :-)
Best Wishes

Pep - you're very right. That said, this film has been in pre-production hell since, like, 1985.
Lies - take a look at this pic; you see how his head is cocked all the way to the right? To be honest, I don't know what they're going to do with the second head - it doesn't really serve a purpose in the books.
Luna - You can't resist, can you? With source-material this good, it can't end up being a bad film. Simple as that.
Cheers
You are right, I don't think I can resist it!!!! Hopefully it will rock all our socks!

't Will, my lunar friend, 't will.

Ah, yes, thanks for pointing that out!
— Lies
Again, I'm not really sure if they're actually doing a second head.
Cheers
Ah yes, the text-based game, is it?
Yeah, I suck at those.
Cheers
It would be quite a feat if they could plausibly pull off the second head.
We'll see.
Cheers
