Hitchhikers Guide trailer!

[morwen]

Amazon have a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trailer.!

Woo.

The opening bits were absolutely spot on, the rest went a bit american movie-trailer-ish. But visually everything was spot on (although marvin looks rather weird, and what happened to Zaphod's 2nd head?) Yay!

Zaphod does have a 2nd head and its visable in the trailer. Its under his chin.




EDIT: forgot a quote in the URL

I rather like the design for Marvin. Got that whole "weight of the world on his shoulders" look going on.

Looks like a lot of the effects aren't totally finished yet, and they seem to have taken a few liberties with the storyline, but I remain hopeful for this adaptation, and casting Mos Def as Ford Prefect has the potential to be a very clever idea.

I used to love the books, and the TV series was cool in a cheap and cheerful kinda way. Hopefully they won't screw this up too badly.

There is an official promotional web site apparently - http://hitchhikers.movies.go.com/main.html

It looks pretty dreadful from the trailer - but maybe I should expect the trailer to focus on explosions and stuff.

I like the look of it especially Marvin. they've managed to make a toylike "Plastic Pal who's Fun To Be With" look as though it wants to die. Nice:-)
Getting Rickman to do the voice is a good idea too. Pity my Laptop won't let me hear the bloody thing...

Oh dear... Where's the wit? Where's the book? Won't be impressed until I hear some Stephen Fry, in the meantime it looks to be all naff slapstick and ruined jokes. Of course, this could be the inverse of those trailers where you've alrady seen all the best bits.
