"Mostly harmless" movie arriving on my birthday
I have to admit I was more than a little
concerned when I heard that the geniuses in Hollywood had decided to make a
movie out of one of the great comic scif-fi
novels of all time -- Douglas Adams' The Hitchhikers
Guide to the Galaxy. I've been a big fan of the book for decades, it
seems, and I actually wore out an old cassette tape collection of the BBC radio
drama version.
But over time, I've gotten increasingly optimistic. The filmmakers seem to be channeling the spirit of Adams and I liked the casting of Martin Freeman, who was tremendous in the BBC sitcom The Office, as Arthur Dent. Now comes the first official trailer (hosted at Amazon.com) and word that the movie will premiere on April 29 -- my birthday. Sweet.
