Another Hitch-Hikers Trailer
The internet exclusive trailer first shown at Ugo.com mentioned above is way, way better than the official theatrical trailer linked in your post, Suw. I think you might be able to find a high quality Quicktime version of it here.
The prospect of this movie scares the willies out of me. If there's a way for Hollyweird to screw it up, they will.
(Oh, and I couldn't view the first trailer; after starting to play, the site decided it didn't like my browser and redirected me to a page to download one of the other browsers that I've tried and abandoned. Feh!)
Actually, I think that it's gonna be ok. I'm a huge H2G2 fan, so was suffering great trepidation, but the trailer has so far won me over. Stephen Fry voicing the book is just perfect.
Getting Stephen Fry as the book is one of the best ideas they've had. he has the right kind of “Peter Jones-y” voice for the book – a sort of “Patient uncle explaining to irritating nephew that the world is just like that, so you better get used to it” voice.
I'm not sure I like the idea about Zaphod's second head, though.
