Saw this on yahoo movies and thought I'd share:

why does it say may 6 2004<-----

I'd seen the trailer before, but not the artwork for the heart of gold... not what i expected - but funny- and thats what counts.

Before Douglass Adams died he said H2G2 was "soon to be a major motion picture". I thought it was a joke. How are they gonna fit the entire story into one movie? It's no where near possible.

Sure it is - curious to why you think that? I know there are 5 books in the series, but the movie is only the 1st one.

Did you see the BBC TV series, wasn't that about the first two books, with the resturant at the end of the universe? Its been so long since I read them, but watched the old TV series just the other week and it still cracks me up.
Martin Freeman (The Office) will be superb as Arthur Dent.
Not sure about Mos Def as Ford though...

There are going to be five movies? I guess it's possible then. But am I to understand that this will be a Disney movie? Can't really talk about triple-breasted whores from Eroticon 6 then. Also this will be the first adaptation of the story without Adams. I'm a little bit skeptical.

there series is class ive got the dvd's. Remember staying up and watching it as a kid lol

It was a joke..........
This is awsome I love the books

this will be so much better than the last movie.
And the books are hilarious.

Dont forget to miss when you aim for the ground.

Adams is not absent from this film. He was almost finished writing the script when he died.

Kamion they havent done a movie of it befor ❌ ❌ think u mean the bbc series

Ya, you must be thinking of the BBC mini-series. There were no other versions made which is why I'm so excited for this new one.

Adams wrote the majority of this script. It was NOT a joke. He had a heavy hand in the making of this film. Plus, the BBC RADIO series was around BEFORE the books. The books were written after the radio series, and were not the same story. One of the coolest things about Hitchhikers is that each version was a little different. The same characters and personalities, etc. but the story has varied each time. I think this will be awesome, IMO.

"This next exclusive presentation proved the incredible graciousness of the studio and filmmakers involved. We were treated to a slide show (a BNAT first) of production artwork and stills from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. We saw some beautiful shots of the Heart of Gold, Marvin, Deep Thought (imagine an enormous Buddha-like computer with it's monitor shaped head in it's hands resting in the middle of the jungle). We also saw the first look at the Vogons which looked, remarkably, exactly like Vogons, all the while without appearing at all how I pictured them. But I dig it. I dig it deep. This movie is going to own all of our puny non-planet sized brains soon enough."

*bump*

There has been a lot of stuff released, thought I'd update the thread with the new one sheet. Thoughts?

If you look at a bigger pic of the one-sheet, you can see a cup of tea and the whale! I also hope they keep the 42 on EVERYTHING.

I am not really sure if this is new or if it has been around for years or what, but it is cool as hell if you have read the books. http://www.lunkwillfook.com/

dunno, if its old or new...

There you go.
