Wow...why is this the first I've heard of it?

Cause it was completely overshadowed by Adams' death, probably.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371724/: For the cast list....I don't know how I feel about their choice for Ford Prefect...but we'll see

They did already make a miniseries of it- pretty good at that- GREAT special effects: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371724/

gah, the cast is all wrong. i cant belive they picked that insipid little twat sam rockwell to play zaphod...... ugh.

I agree, although I like the casting for Arthur Dent, I loved Martin in "The Office" and Mos Def isn't that bad of an actor, but I really don't know who picked him to play Ford and Rockwell as Zaphod is completly off base IMO.

That is very true, I think if that casting had happend that ol' Doug would have reanimated himself just so he could kill Pauly, the casting directors, and the producers.

double post, my bad, stupid computer :x

Another video director to make the move up....I knew I should have spent more time working on things like After Effects........

The Ali G Show opening is clever enough, I haven't seen the Blur video or other 'hammer & tong' videos.....

Mos Def is really funny, and there seems to be an understanding that he won't be a 'hip-hop Ford'....interesting to see what happens.

Is Ford actually supposed to be British or not?

Is Ford actually supposed to be British or not?Well, alien....but I think he was living in England for a while. It's been some time since I read the books though. Someone probably already gave you a more thorough answer while I was typing this.....

I, Robot wasn't good?

I hope this project gets terminated like the Ender's Game movie was. They'll make it so bad, omg. It won't even be funny
