We Apologize For the Inconvenience

" Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy, lies a small, unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly 92 million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet, whose ape-descended lifeforms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea. ___________________ There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for, and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. ___________________ In the Beginning, the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. "

So The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has been remade many times in many forms. No one admits more openly that it is a very fluid thing and there is no definitive version. The movie that hits theatres on April 29 will only loosely follow the book, which only loosely followed the radio show, etc. And since the author choose to do it this way, and he's now dead, we really can't argue with him. I am soooo looking forward to the movie! Here's why:
Zoey Deschanel as Tricia - The only surviving female of planet Earth is one of my favorite actresses! Hell yeah!
Mos Def as Ford Prefect - Wow, is all I can say.
Alan Rickman as the Voice of Marvin - Rickman is perfect to be doing the voice of this highly depressed robot. Just look at Snape! Also Richard Griffith, another Harry Potter name, will be voicing a Vogon.
Tom Lennon as the Voice of Eddie, the Computer - loved him on "The State" and "Reno 9-1-1
and as Joey's hand twin on "Friends". How can they go wrong?
Sam Rockwell as Zaphod - His villanious nature, as shown in "Charlie's Angels", will come through wonderfully. Plus the second head only pops up occasionally as a gag.
John Malkovich as Kavula - this character was created just for the movie. He is the high priest of a people who believe the universe was created out of the mucus that came out of their god's nose when he sneezed.
Douglas Adams, the author,'s family is so happy about this project they will appear in the film running from Vogons.

Get ready! Get set go!

Qop!
"42."
