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."

    ...After what I've heard about Disney having the script re-written after Adams' death, I'm not exactly looking forward to this _travesty_ with his name on it.

    From what I've gathered so far about the film, the only thing any Hollywood schmucks have to do with the actual filmmaking (aside from any special effects), would be with distributing it and promoting it in the USA. I've got faith that the film won't suck.

    However if it does suck, we may see the nerd riots after all, except they'll be in 2005-6 instead of 2004.

    what is the probability of hollywood trashing this?

    Quite high, I expect.

    I mean, when hollywood can fuck up making a movie of Starsky and Hutch for flipsake, what chance have they got with this?

    I do hope they get the point of Arthur Dent in the story and don't try to make him funny. Like Brian in the Life of Brian, the comedy revolves around him and his situation. If they try to make Arthur into a comic character it won't work so well.

    Having said that, I think they have chosen the right actor for Arthur.

    The button first said "please do not push this button"; upon pushing it, I expected the word "again" to be appended. Instead, I got "YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED".

    Ah, well.
