h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Now this is what the post needs! Discussion! Woo!

Okay lets see ...

Mike Myers as Ford Prefect (doesnt he own the film rights -- heard that somewhere)
Janeane Garofalo(sp?) as Trillian

Im sure Ill think of more . . .

~Beeblefish (Chuffed about the Movie)

Bill Murray as Arthur Dent? Hmm.... No.
Jack Dee? hmm......... nah.

Will there be a book? I don't know about you, but for me there has only ever been one person who could possibly be the Book, and alas...
I don't think Mike Myers is quite reserved enough to be Arthur, though.

Paul Scofield for Slartibartfast.

Jim Carrey as Zaphod.

Clement Freud as Marvin.

I'd like to see Richard E. Grant as Zaphod.
Maybe Paul McGann as Arthur, or perhaps Carey Elwis(??) the chap from Princess Bride?

I'd like to see DNA appearing as Slartibartfast!

Oh YES!!! DNA definatley as Slartibartfast! What a cameo role that would be

What about Nicholas Lyndhurst as Arthur?

I think that I should be Marvin, it is my name after all

OKay -- how bout this:

The Brit com cast:

Rik Mayal as Zaphod
Adrian Edmonson as Marvin
Rowan Attkinson as Ford
Hugh Laurie as Arthur
Stephen Fry as Slartibartfast
and whats-her name Saffron from AB FAB as Tril!

What do you think?

~Beeblefish

How about Rik Mayal as Zaphod's first head and Ade Edmonson as the second?

Rowan Atkinson would be better as Arthur I think. The typical sarcastic Englishman.

That's brilliant, Menza!

I like the idea of Rick and Ade as Zaphod, and especially that of Rowan Atkinson as Arthur

What a shame Oliver Reed is dead: he would have made a wonderful Vogon.

With or without make-up?

What about Brian Blessed as a Vogon?

No offence intended there

Who should be Marvin?

Jack Dee

Nice.
