The book was so weird and good, but I can't imagine how they made the movie. Will be interesting to see.

Classic book. I hope the movie is decent.

The movie will be an amalgam of the Book, TV series, and radio play. Along with some new stuff Adams was working on before he died.

PBS actually showed the BBC version of the Hitchiker series. Maybe you can rent it. Very entertaining.

Join Douglas Adams's hapless hero Arthur Dent as he travels the galaxy with his intrepid pal Ford Prefect, getting into horrible messes and generally wreaking hilarious havoc. Dent is grabbed from Earth moments before a cosmic construction team obliterates the planet to build a freeway. You'll never read funnier science fiction; Adams is a master of intelligent satire, barbed wit, and comedic dialogue. The Hitchhiker's Guide is rich in comedic detail and thought-provoking situations and stands up to multiple reads. Required reading for science fiction fans, this book (and its follow-ups) is also sure to please fans of Monty Python, Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, and British sitcoms.
Movie will be a bit different since it is culling ideas from the TV show and radio broadcasts in addition to the book. |
