Chuck Barris host of the gong show is ment to be playing Zaphod Beeblebrox and the miget from "willow" is playing marvin. It's strange looking at the orignal cast before Adams died, Hugh Laurie from blackadder was ment to be playing Arthur and there was talks of trying to get Jim Carrey was to play Zaphod Beeblebrox. The odd thing about now it is Adams would have never heard of some of the cast playing arthur and that now seeing they only got famous over the past few years after his death.

Goodshape

is it not Sam Rockwell playing Zaphod?

According to upcomingmovies.com its chuck barris, seems a bit wired he hasn't been in many film other than the "gong show movie" and "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind". Seems like there really going cheap on the cast for this movie.

Er, Sam Rockwell played Chuck Barris in Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind. I really don't think that they hired Barris to play Zaphod, seeing as how he's approaching 70.

Says on IMDB that Adams wrote the script, or at least the first draft. Might not be that bad.

Love the cast so far, Think Freeman is perfect as Arthur, and Sam Rockwell is one of the best actors around imo.

Saw an interview with Freeman, and he seemed pretty enthusiastic about it. So it looks like the film is actually gonna get made this time.

The guy playing Marvin seems to have been in a lot of Leprechan movies, and their sequels:dunno: Is Marvin not supposed to be the same height as humans?
Hopefully hs only doing the voice (please please please don't make Marvin CGI )

The Brigadier

I'm happy with all the casting apart from MosDef
