I must admit, at first I was worried...Hollywood doing Hitch-Hiker's.
From the latest trailer, it looks like they might actually have done a really good job. Martin Freeman looks like he was born to play Arthur Dent and Stephen Fry is perfect as the voice of the Guide. Alan Rickman seems to have got Marvin's lagubrious voice about right, the Vogons look excellent (much better than the BBC's sub-Dr. Who rubber things
and Mos Def...well, contrary to the stereotype of black American actors being wisecracking and "cool" in comedies, it looks like he's playing Ford just the way he should be played.
There may be some changes which will annoy HHGTTG die-harRAB, but didn't Adams himself say that the story itself was never set in stone - the radio play, books and TV series were all different in parts, so we should expect the movie to do likewise.
I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully, if it's a success, we might see the other books in the inaccurately-named trilogy being adapted for the big screen as well.
