Hitchhiker's Guide Trailer Online

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-see dept.

Jeremy Rayner writes "The 2005 Hitchhiker's movie trailer is available in AVI or RealMedia formats. The movie trailer doesn't reveal anything, but looks cool. Personally I'm looking forward to the new Radio 4 series in September for which you can hear an mp3 preview."

  1. Another site for information on the Radio Series by Alranor · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here

    The original cast (unfortunately without the late Peter Jones), a cameo by Douglas Adams himself ..

    And for those of you who aren't in the UK, you may appreciate knowing that Radio 4 make their programs available on their website for a week after the broadcast.

    Unfortunately they're still in crappy real media format, but mplayer deals with them fine.

    About time too :) - i've been looking forward to these for a long time, they were originally due to begin airing in February of this year but some licensing issues with the movie delayed that.

    Sentimental Trailer,

    It's getting Slashdoted, so lets Spoil the Trailer:

    Background music is (What A) Wonderful World, Louis Armstrong, and story is following lyrics from the music.

    Blue stars, clouds, light/sun, then unzooming and showing our pretty little planet.

    And then.... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM, Earth exlodes!

    Familiar title "DON'T PANIC" shows...

    Good job :).

      Another link to the trailer. Get it while it's hot, it probably wont last long. It was posted in the IMDB boards, along with the request: "Please don't give this out."

      Oh Well...
