Hitchhikers Guide To Be Made Into A Movie 454
tonywestonuk writes "The Beeb are reporting that The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series will be made into a Hollywood Movie. Apparently they are getting some other script writer to finish off Douglas Adams' final installment (I pessimistically wonder how awful this will make it.). It seems a shame that Hollywood had to wait until his death before they took him seriously...."

Yeah, Arthur with grey hair wouldn't work so well.
I think Ian McKellen? Cellen? mCeLe3n? Whatever. He would be good for Slarty. That's what I kept thinking in LotR whenever Galdalf was being nice and condesending at Frodo. Looked and sounded just like Slarty.
