Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy - "The Movie"

Lawdie

Well I just say the trailer for HHGTTG Movie and looks to be released in April

Can't wait to see how the new effects have on the story!

I saw both trailers. I have to say it's looking like they can pull it off, I have the same feeling about this as I had about LOTR, I think it's going to do the books/radio plays justice.

Who plays Arthur Dent and Ford?

Most of the cast is here:

I'm glad to see Stephen Fry as the Narrator/Guide. Good choice...

Wonder how long the running time is... This is a big story!

Sarky

It's not an adaptation of the books- Douglas Adams wrote a completely seperate movie script, so it's not going to adhere to the books, or even the radio play (which is very different to the books itself!). So running time is anyone's guess.

Here's my favourite trailer...

Will it be in Irish theatres in April? I haven't seen mention of it in "upcoming" listings.

Either way I hope to get my hands on it in April...
