Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy...

...is going to be a movie?


I wasn't sure whether to post this in the "movie" or the "book" forum so I just put it here. I'm not sure if it's true, but a couple friends just told me... and apparently some rapper is going to play Ford???

Does anyone else care about this, or have you heard anything?

Loved these books, especially the first two.

The rapper in it is mos def. Should be released two days before Star wars episode three.

I've waited over twenty years for this. For slightly neurotic thirty-somethings such as myself, it will be more than a movie.

It will be a religious experience.

I have the old version on tape.

Now, when are they going to make that Red Dwarf movie?

Dear gawd ! ^^^^ What he said...!!?

I used to live near, and work in Camden...I once saw an estate agents board on the way home on the bus called 'Hotblack, Desiato and Co.' and emailed Douglas Adams in outrage that someone would so crassly lift from his books...Needlesstosay I got an email back from him pointing out that he too lived near Camden and that the excerpt from the first of the trilogies about the economy of a world collapsing under the weight of shoe shops was modelled very closely on....yep Camden.
Was a really nice mail...was gutted when he went Still the film'll be a fitting tribute
Cheers

Dunno who's in the cast...have read a little bit about it a while back when they were threatening to do it (they've been doing so for YEARS so I didn't get excited)

He better have two heads, three arms and ego the size of our galaxy or he'll be ALL wrong !?!

wonder if the infamouse towel is going to be in the movie...AND THE THING ABOUT GOD DISAPPEARING IN A POOF OF LOGIC

Check the Internet Movie Database...http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371724/
And check out who's playing Marvin...yes, you're seeing right...WARWICK DAVIS. That was the one that really made me fall on my butt laughing.
It should be great. The BBC version from so many years ago was stupendous, but they had one inconsistency that bothered me. Trillian was blond! She was a brunette in the books! But, looking at the cast, they fixed that this time, only to turn Ford black...maybe it'll work. I'll still spend my $8.00 on it.
But...now...what's this about a Red Dwarf movie?

Actually I believe he's starring as Ford Prefect... he's the rapper I was reffering to...

I want to know what the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster is going to look like (and what effects it has).

And I'm looking forward to the great lines such as:
"You'll need this fish in your ear."

Huge fan of the book(s). Truly a great lose when someone as brilliantly insane as Adams passes. Very excited to hear about the movie.

I've heard it is going to be a movie. I just hope hollyweed doesn't flog it up as usual.
