I can't wait till the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy movie comes out
Somtime next spring I heard:)

I hope it kicks as much ass as the book because this is my LOTR.

1. Disney isn't New Line Cinema
I wouldn't get my hopes up. Is Pixar attached to the project? Johnny Depp? Otherwise, it's screwed.

3. Yeah, that's what I'm worried about
The first time they made a movie about the book it sucked dirty FReeper ass. I hope it doesn't this time though.

10. There is, but Johnny made Pirates of Caribbean
the only well made Disney movie that wasn't associated with Pixar in quite sometime. That was the point I was making.

13. Ahh, I thought it was another
"This movie will only work if Depp, and only Depp, plays the main role. In fact, Depp should play every role in the movie." post - which are close to taking over the entire world :eyes:

4. For me, nothing can replace the original BBC series.
It's a classic. They'll probably f*ck it up.

8. Next spring? Cool!
Who is making it? I hope they do it justice. I loved the book, but I always thought the BBC series was kinda cheesy.

11. I hope they do a good job with it.
I'm not counting on too much though. I tend to be pretty picky about film interpretations of favorite books. I didn't care for the TV series at all, (didn't like what they did with Trillian).

Then again, I didn't care for the LOTR movies either. But whatever they do with the movie, they can never take away the books. That's the important thing for me.
