Just caught the trailer on TV. (http://hitchhikers.movies.go.com/)
Didn't even know they were doing this! :blush:
Looks like a bit of British tallent thrown in with Yanks.
Martin Freeman (Tim from 'The Office') as Arthur Dent
Alan Rickman as the voice of Marvin (doesn't sound as depressed as the original)
Steven Fry as The Book.
Steve Pemberton (League of Gentlemen) as L.Prosser (the council man)
Bill Nighy as Slartibartfast (been in quite a few BBC productions recently, you'll know him when you see him)
Some recognisable USA tallent in there as well, Sam Rockwell (played Guy Fleegman [the unnamed security guy] in 'Galaxy Quest') as Zaphod and Mos Def (an American Hip-Hop artist) as Ford.
Looks good, a different slant on Zaphods second head looking at the trailer. Lets hope its more in line with the radio version than the BBC series.
Lets hope the British humour is still in there and it hasn't been too "Americanised".
Me sees a new line of "Peril Sensative Sunglasses" coming out this year! :D
Still not sure about Mosdef as Ford myself. Still I may yet be pleasantly suprised!!
See some shots of the sets and other bits and pieces and it does look good.
hehe, I like trailer number 3 ... it's more ni the spirit of the thing :D Looks rather entertaining to me! 8)
I saw the trailer for this a few weeks ago, looks simply brilliant. Can't wait! :)
