Yup, that's right. <a href="http://www.douglasadams.se/">Douglas Adams Continuum</a> has brought us sequel to the highly acclaimed interview called "Q&A answers from Garth and Nick". In <a href="http://www.douglasadams.se/movie/quest2.php">this part</a> they discuss things like their target audience and casting choices.<blockquote><strong>Are you aiming the movie at an adult audience or did you make any changes to make it more accessible to a younger target group?</strong>


<strong>Garth:</strong> <em>I was about 9 years old when I discovered Hitchhiker's
and I live next door to a 70 year old professor who can recite almost
every word of the radio play. We found out that in Iceland, 16 year
olds are given the book to read as part of their English studies and I
am constantly meeting people from all walks of life who adore
Hitchhiker's. It has always had a wide appeal and I hope the movie does
too.</em>

<strong>Nick:</strong> <em>I like the idea that our film will work in a
similar way to The Simpsons or a Pixar film, in the sense that it will
appeal to a younger audience, but will also work on various other
levels for an adult. Luckily the material that Douglas Adams provided
us with goes to make it a much easier task.</em></blockquote> As long as
adults are their real focus group and they remain faithful to the
blueprints, I don't mind at all. But please skip the Pokemon puns.
