Hitchhiker's Guide Trailer Online 289
Jeremy Rayner writes "The 2005 Hitchhiker's movie trailer is available in AVI or RealMedia formats. The movie trailer doesn't reveal anything, but looks cool.
Personally I'm looking forward to the new Radio 4 series in September for which you can hear an mp3 preview."

WHen talking about this trailer, I completely agree with you, no reason to use real format at all.
When talking about streaming video, the AVI file format is serious not suited for it (for once because of having the index at the end of the file and needing that index to navigate through the file, somethign which is not needed for either mpg or real formats.
I do not know about ogg, it might support this correctly and that'd allow using xvid for streaming.

Radio leaves plenty of room for imagination.
It isn't a given that any story will work better in any given medium. For instance Star Wars, the movie, totally blew me away when I first saw it. I'm not even remotely interested in reading the book.

Seriously, does ANYONE think that Marvin is suppose to be a cute looking short robot with a HUGE round head!??
He should be taller, darker, more mechanical looking, slightly sinister, and oh, has everyone forgotten one very important piece????
Marvin's all important PEG LEG!!!!! I mean come on! The peg leg is actually an important piece of the story latter on.
If the writers/prop makers can't even get Marvin remotely close to the way he should be, then I have serious doubts about the rest of the film.
