Hitchhikers Guide To Be Made Into A Movie
tonywestonuk writes "The Beeb are reporting that The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series will be made into a Hollywood Movie. Apparently they are getting some other script writer to finish off Douglas Adams' final installment (I pessimistically wonder how awful this will make it.). It seems a shame that Hollywood had to wait until his death before they took him seriously...."
Might I suggest Ali G?

Surely that should be 42 times?
X-men, Spiderman, Hulk.
LotR, Guide, what's next? Xanth?
42nd post!!!
Maybe they were just waiting for him to finish the trilogy.

When I first read the title, I thought "Hitchhiker's Guide To Being Made Into A Movie" like the article was about a howto on being turned into a movie :)

on topic:
Wasn't there already a movie made of this? Or was it just one book? (sorry for my ignorant attempt at on-topic-ness

Gotta be someone Six feet tall ; P and they gotta look like an ape... any suggestions?
Forget about the book, watch the movie again and ask yourself: who were the bad guys?
Paul Verhoeven and Edward Neumeier.

You don't need Geeksintraining if you're on Slashdot.
Fucking shitwit. Next time you post a link, you fucking try it first. I don't ever want to see a referrer error after clicking one of your links again. Do you understand me, you warthog-faced buffoon?

Here is arcane information, buried, for your enjoyment, in with many meaningless posts.
Did you know that 9x6=42 if the base is 13.
Think about it. You may now resume your day.
DNA really wanted that guy to be Arthur too, but then again he was expecting Disney to do something with it 20 years ago.
Yeah, Arthur with grey hair wouldn't work so well.
I think Ian McKellen? Cellen? mCeLe3n? Whatever. He would be good for Slarty. That's what I kept thinking in LotR whenever Galdalf was being nice and condesending at Frodo. Looked and sounded just like Slarty.
Reminds me of a story I heard about a Terry Pratchett book. Supposedly a Hollywood movie company was negotiating about making a movie out of "Mort". At some point in the discussion, the director said that he really liked the story, but wasn't there something that could be done about this whole Death angle? Apparently, people want an upbeat story and Death is a real "downer"..
(the above may be completely apocryphal, but I found it amusing..)

Hurry up and jump on the individualist bandwagon!
