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. Imagination by Kralizec · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The Hitchhiker story is so bizarre that I always found my imagination made the books much funnier than the radio drama and the TV show. I'm not sure how excited I am about the movie, since live action just can't seem to match the absurdities that the imagination seems to be able to grasp so well.

    And then it goes into Men in Black music and looks like a friggin' action movie.

    I hope they're doing satire there. I'd hate for them to take this movie seriously. It's like doing "The Life of Brian" in Aramaic.

    Oh wait, they did that already.

    He looks like he was designed to be your plastic pal who's fun to be with by some jerk who'll be the first up against the wall when the revolution comes...

    It occurs to me, that when those "authenticity" geeks who go to movies to point out continuity flaws (like the spiderman article here on /. a few weeks ago) see this movie, their heads will explode.

    Continuity flaws, continuity flaws...

    I'm eagerly looking forward to the Slashdot discussion when this film comes out. Thousands of geeks, livid that the movie contradicts the books... when the books happily contradict

    the TV series
    the radio series
    the LP
    each other
    basic axioms of logic

    on every single page!

    Anyone got a phone number for NASA? I think I want to leave the planet...
