Uncle Elmo Hammer Brother Partly Sweet, Helpful, good at advice and a half decent writer. Also modest. Level: 49 Posts: 858/1062 EXP: 845899 For next: 37984 Since: 03-15-04 From: Prestatyn, Uk Since last post: 23 hours Last activity: 2 hours |

| Check out http://www.aintitcoolnews.com/display.cgi?id=19282 But there ARE some spoilers there, I'm feeling so much better about this film, I mean the cast alone... Alan Rickman as Marvin.. that's a PERFECT choice! Stephen Fry as the guide.... Bill Baily as a Sperm Whale! |

| Honestly, of what I've seen so far, it looks pretty fuckin' whack. Marvin looks... ridiculous... Zaphod seems to be a head short of the norm most of the time, and I'm not buying their explanation for it... and Zooey Deschanel simply does not fit the Trillian role in my mind. And honestly, no matter what they say, I just can't say okay to a black Ford Prefect. Ford is not black. This isn't racism -- this is a reaction to the tendencies of the movie industry to cast black men in "guide" roles for white guys who need to get their shit in order. I don't like how they always do that. At all. |

| ...The characters generally seem fine, but I'm with Andrew on Ford Prefect. I honestly thought that they would cast someone a little bit more...To the description in the book. | |||

| They cast Mos Def because he's frikken PERFECT for the role, the dude has acting credentials. Also, he's an ALIEN. Why should he be necessarily be a white Brit? He's from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelguese. Ford Prefect is supposed to be cool, calm, unflappable, and also be ever so slightly odd and unusual, and Mos Def can pull that off. Fuck skin colour. Every other casting choice is pretty much perfect, give them a break and see how he works out, eh? I for one am very excited to see how they pull it off. Hopefully the fanboys realise this isn't LoTR and there's not really any internal consistancy between any two HGTG projects... the radio show and the books and whathaveyou. Hell, Douglas Adams helped work on this screenplay before he died and wrote in some new concepts and characters and stuff, he doesn't care if it isn't canonical, what matters is that it's funny and a good story. Picking over tiny details is missing the point, and as long as they retain the spirit of the stories - the extreme eccentricity, the humour, the seriousness (as opposed to a slapstick over the top tone, a lot of the comedy is in that they're all playing it straight) of the story... I'll be very happy. Also: Best IMDB thread ever (edited by Arwon on 03-19-05 08:15 PM) |

| There's a new internet-only trailer, which appeals to me much more and makes me feel a lot better about the whole thing. http://www.movie-list.com/trailers.php?id=hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy Don't like quicktime? Find it yourself. ("Internet Trailer" is the one I'm talking about on that page.) |
