FYI...
Hollywood has taken up Adams' screenplay for Hitchhiker's. The entire series (I think) is scheduled for big screen. Hitchhikers is in pre-production now.

Let's hope they dump Zaphod Beebelbrox's second head. That was such a lame device, even in the book it was lame, in the BBC series it was unbearable. I don't care how many special effects they use, or if the second head is some big star, the basic idea sucked in the book and it will suck in the movie. Dump Zaphod's second head!

I remember that being announced shortly before Douglas Adams's death. There was a discussion here on FR as to who would be able to pull a project like that off.
My vote was for Terry Gilliam.

The, director Jay Roach quit the project suddenly last month. They are scrambling to find a replacement.
And there are rumors that Hugh "I did a bad thing" Grant will play Arthur Dent.
