[Community -> Update]

There are two large, clear pictures available for the <A href="http://hitchhikers.movies.go.com/index. ... tchhiker's Guide film</a> that show each of the main members of the cast. <a href="http://www.freezedriedmovies.com/galler ... pg">Number 1</a> and <a href="http://www.freezedriedmovies.com/galler ... pg">Number 2</a>. That Trillian actress is hot, I guess.
 
 Update: Alan Rickman has been announced as the voice for Marvin, and Bill Bailey as the voice of The Whale. Both of those are pretty good comic actors.

Hm, looks promising.

By promising, do mean "Marvin isn't a fat, round, ball of a robot!"

Looks a bit like a macintosh, heh

I updated the news item - Bill Bailey and Alan Rickman are in the cast list. They're both pretty good british comics.

I want one of those robots.

Some rapper called Mos Def.

Not sure how well he'll fit. Rap sucks.

but there are no black men in the hitchiker.... not in any prominent positions anyways.

I don't think it ever specified in the books, actually. It doesn't really matter, does it?
Anyway, it's the 'rapper' part that worries me.

You realise they probably haven't replaced the Vogon poetry reading scene with a rap battle? You're crapping yourselves because they've cast a rapper, but he's been in other movies and shockingly failed to burst into a rap in any of those.

Nicolai · Post by **Nicolai** » Tue Jan 04, 2005 8:58 pm

Yeah, but you never know..

Spazmo · Post by **Spazmo** » Tue Jan 04, 2005 8:59 pm

Sure, I do. And now I'm telling you.

Bitch.

Nicolai · Post by **Nicolai** » Tue Jan 04, 2005 9:23 pm

Yeah yeah yeah, whatever.
I'll come over and rape you in a gentle - but victorious - manner later tonight.

Assuming, again, that you can find the front door to your house, Lord Admiral Geography.

Well I was positively surprised with this Mos Def fellow. He looks considerably "normal" compared to most rappers of my knowledge (nevermind my stereotypical awareness). I thank the filming crew, god and Snoop-Doug Adams's ghost, may he rest in peace, for having Ford Perfect look like this instead of this...

Mos Def is like the only person that's well casted. O and Marvin is total shit.

ford should be a bloody redhead....
fuck, even the fat redhead kid in harry potter would be a better choice.
