Summer 2005 finally sees the release of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie from Touchstone Pictures". Stars include Martin Freeman as Arthur Dent, Sam Rockwell as Zaphod Beeblebrox, Bill Nighy as Slartibartfast, supercool hip-hop artist Mos Def as Ford Prefect and the gorgeous Zooey Deschanel as Trillian. Completely new characters were developed specially for the film by Douglas Adams before his death and will be played by John Malkovich and Anna Chancellor. Pan's tie-in edition of this cult classic will include substantial extras from Executive Producer, Robbie Stamp: exclusive cast interviews, stories and photographs from the set.
I loved it. It's been a while since I've seen the movie so the experience was nearly new and what I did remember only made the book better. I love the sheer detail put into a book that is fairly small compared to most sci-fi novels. The best part was imagining Marvin with Alan Rickman's voice, that definitely pulled a few laughs from me.
