Hitchhiker's Guide Film Reports

wakaranai writes "The BBC reports that the new "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" movie will star Martin Freeman (Tim from The Office) as Arthur Dent. According to the Internet Movie Database filming starts early 2004, and Marvin's voice will be Stephen Moore, reviving his role from the classic 1981 BBC TV version." If you haven't seen The Office, it takes the subject matter Dilbert has bored us with, and makes it utterly hysterical. This is a good bit of casting. I'm still available to play Zaphod.

Maybe I should watch the first one... by m3j00 · 2004-01-13 03:12 · Score: -1, Redundant

I've never watched any of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movies. What's so great about them? I trust the /. community to inform me of the joy that is Hitchhiker.

Yes, it's a good thing Adams didn't try writing HHGTTG for radio, because it just wouldn't work without readers.
Oh, wait...
