H2G2 Film Website

Posted by michael on from the disused-lavatory dept.

tplayford writes "On the third anniversary of Douglas Adams death, the makers of the 'Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy' film have released their website, with a photo of the whole crew and a blog. I'm trying not to panic, but I just can't wait for the film to come out."

  1. Probability. by bludstone · · Score: 4, Insightful

    While this story has adapted well to radio, book, and even a campy TV mini-series, what is the probability of hollywood trashing this?

    Id say higher then turning a nuclear missle into a confused sperm whale.

    I hope that this doesnt wind up sucking. But, unfortunatly, I think it will.

    Oh well.

    Radio series, in which Adams was involved: great.

    Books, in which Adams was involved: variable, from okay to great.

    TV series, in which Adams was involved: pretty cool, all things considered.

    Film, with no input from Adams but lots from clueless Hollywood types: worse than Vogon poetry, I betcha. Prepare to gnaw your own legs off.

    I think ^that says the most about the upcoming movie. It will be an Adams-esque movie, wrapped in a Somebody Else's Humor Field so that only those who are looking for the differences can tell.

    But the difference really do matter. "again" really tickles the funny bone. "YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED" is only mildly amusing.

    Just like the web site, the movie is sure to be almost, but not quite, entirely unlike Adams.
