Well, I'm glad to see someone else is taking a shot at putting the
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on screen.
The book is great (actually the whole five-plus-one book trilogy is great), and BBC did a fair job making a
TV series back in the 80's - even though it's rather dated, it's still fairly fun.
Now, with today's special effects and CG, Hitchhiker's Guide can make a better transition from the mind of Douglas Adams' to the silver screen. I'm sincerely looking forward to this show.
