H2G2 Cast Finalized, Starts Shooting in April

akahige writes "According to The Hollywood Reporter, Martin Freeman (The Office, Love Actually), Mos Def (Showtime, The Italian Job), and Zooey Deschanel (Big Trouble, Elf) have signed on to play Arthur, Ford, and Trillian, respectively. Stephen Moore is once again doing the voice of Marvin. No word on who's playing Zaphod (but wouldn't Eddie Izzard be great?). It worries me when they say things like, "Adams adapted his own novel for the screen. After his death, Karey Kirkpatrick came aboard for a rewrite." But it's Disney, so what do you expect? Shooting begins in April."

    Then dont go see it, you stupid fag.

    They can do whatever they fucking want with whatever they want, it doesnt affect you.

    Or at least it wouldnt if you had a life and better things to worry about than whether hollywood is going to do justice to your favorite childhood masturbation fodder.

    And now another British classic is getting the Hollywood bastardisation, sorry, the Hollywood treatment whereby a film is destroyed and the basic plot is taken and Americanised and popularised. Hmm, if the Americans complain about our good humour all the time they're going to burn the cinema down after H2G2. I wonder if they could be made to burn America (USA) down.
