New Hitchhiker's Trailer.  'nuf said.

I am SO going to be there opening night...

Update: I note that they picked pretty good timing on it. Catch the college kids getting out of spring semester, but beat the fandom demand for the new Star Wars film at the end of May. The only other major fantasy / fandom film coming out is the 4th Harry Potter, and that's not 'til thanksgiving/christmas.

Approved or not, there is still the issue of having things set in your mind because of how you imagined it while reading the book. It's not that I think this is a The-Directror-fragged-over-the-script-the-bastard-without-consulting-the-author, a la Starship Bloopers. It's just that to me, Marvin should be hulking and loom in a massively depressing way that the new one doesn't do for me. (At least so far.) And Zaphod should have two seperate heads and three arms... I recognize this is all my perception, tho. That's why I'm keeping an open mind. :>

well, the other trailer at the official web site does make the 3rd arm a little clearer, but the head approach is certainly unique (and eliminates some of the other gags like the covered bird cage with the other head going "polly wanna cracker" from the game).

I'm not worried.
