I loved the book...

Just hope the director can properly portray the atmosphere and intent of the book...

Sounds like a great idea to me! (the movie, that is)

Douglas Adams wrote out the screenplay shortly before he died. So it may still have this taste of things and the ever changing storyline.

Production Photos and a clip but no movie footage yet

Dammit the depressed robot Marvin still remains hidden sort of but you can see his bigass head. Remeber this is just on the set stuff not actual movie footage and no added FX. The story, in traddition to the late Douglas, is again slightly altered so you wont be seeing to much of what you read then again what you read may have been different from what was written before or saw in the old BBC show, which is different from the record...

the movie was ok but didn' t do the books justice. the humor is dumbed down and the jokes are shortened. IMO the humor in the books can' t even translate into a movie at all, the movie was a good effort but it was sort of futile.

The trilogy in Five parts, I' m going to re-read the books over my christmas holiday.

It done well enough for a sequel, it made a profit anyway.

Yeah. I think the problem is the fact that most of the humor in the books is in the narration, not the actual events. Impossible to bring that to the screen...unless you want a movie that' s 70% voiced-over.

That said, i hope they do continue with the sequels. There' s some stuff in there i' d like to see on the big screen.

So i made a lot of typographical errors within my previous post. Re writing it for those who are limited in the ENGLISH language only. I could use some help from any member who has the book or have read it. Specific page numbers and quotations are what I am looking for.

How is that?
