Hitchhikers Movie Update

Posted by timothy on from the movie-worth-waiting-for dept.

DaViking writes "Over at Yahoo Movies there are a few more pictures, including one of the Heart of Gold, and an updated trailer for up coming Hitchhikers movie." I'm hoping this film will inspire some sequels, too!

    Sorry, but that rendering of the Heart of Gold looks wrong. It's supposed to be shaped like a running shoe. Hmm, perhaps it is supposed to be a running shoe shaped for the foot of a superintelligent shade of the color blue.

  3. "new" trailer? by wyldeone · · Score: 4, Informative

    Am I the only one who has a problem with this being called a new trailer? There was actually a /. story when this teaser trailer came out about 6 months ago.

    In the beginning the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and is widely considered as a bad move.

    "And I thought the general shape of the Heart of Gold was that of a sneaker"

    The thing about the H2G2 universe, though, is that everything changes, nothing is definite, and many things that exist in one of the versions of the story (radio, tv, book, computer game, movie, whatever) completely contradict the way things are in the other versions. That's the way Douglas Adams wanted it to be.

    To quote the man himself (from A Guide To The Guide: Some unhelpful remarks from the author in the omnibus edition of the first four books in the Trilogy...

    The History of The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy is now so complicated that every time I tell it I contradict myself, and whenever I do get it right I'm misquoted. So the publication of this omnibus edition seemed like a good opportunity to set the record straight -- or at least firmly crooked. Anything that is put down wrong here is, as far as I'm concerned, wrong for good.
