42, Actually

The BBC have a story
about the new, might-actually-happen, Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy movie.
They've cast two of the high points of Love, Actually - Martin Freeman
(Tim in The Office), and Bill Nighy ("Thankyou, Ant or Dec... Kids, don't buy
drugs - become a rock star, and they give them to you for free!") - as Arthur
and Slartibartfast respectively. They're also retaining the vocal talents of
Stephen Moore, the original Marvin ("God. I'm so depressed."). It's nice to
see they're not screwing it up
yet, although they still have to cast almost everyone else. Johnny Depp as
Zaphod? We can only hope.

Usually, "comic book" is a term of derision as far as films are concerned. In
this case, though, the source material is Alan Moore's excellent graphic
novel, so it'd be more of a complement. Which means we're going to have to
find a new term of derision, because the film is appalling. To be fair, I was
watching it on a nine inch screen in the back of the seat in front of me, and
the tape kept jumping, so I probably didn't get as much from the special
effects as I would've done on the big screen, but this just meant that I paid
more attention to the script. Oh, the script...
