Hitchhiker in IMAX would be well worth watching, and would keep it in the spirit of things too 
Means I'd have to go to smegging Glasgow to watch it though

And even then only if Glasgow IMAX ever gets round to showing proper movies instead of just the sort of science museum guff we've all seen a dozen times before.....

The Simpsons 3D, Michael Jordon Does Stuff? Dont' you think those are the most fantastic films you have ever seen in your life? You've gotten bored of them?!
Please tell me when I'm getting too sarcastic 
By the way, has anyone noticed the Hitchhiker references in Men in Black 2? I watched it for the first time at the weekend and although I was drunk, I got at least 3...

I've watched MIB2 a few times but I haven't twigged on them. Can you fill me in? (these things are so obvious after the fact)

I can only remember two now, but here goes...
The ship that lands is small enough to be swallowed by the small dog that witnesses its arrival, and Johnny Knoxville's character has the two head thing going on. Now what was the third one? That's going to annoy me all night now!

neat....I didn't know there were Hitchhiker's references in MIB.
Does anyone have a guess as to when the Hitchhiker movie will come out????

Sorry, that's my sarcasm there. The truth is - who knows?

I have to be honest, 20 years ago I never expected a movie to come out of it...

Well, I hope the answer is:
When it's good and ready.

Sounds like an excellent answer to me

With a nice crsut on the top and nice and chewy inside. Cooked to perfection.
After all they were producing Mrs Beaton's cook book long after the woman was dead and buried.

Better than a rush- job which would make her spin in her grave at generating speeds.

Perhaps we ought to start scouting ten-year-olds for potential Arthurs and Fords, so they're grown up by the time shooting starts.

By that time Synthespian technology will have advanced enough to let us have the original cast.

Didn't they do that with Oliver Reed in Gladiator, cos he died halfway through the making of it?

They used cunning camera trickery, doubles and already recorded sounds. Like when he says "Shadows and dust" before he gets killed, he said that earlier when putting Maximus in the arena.

We said that we’d keep you up to date with news about the movie and we have just heard that after all these years, the movie finally has a green light. More news as we get it, but those on the inside say its looking good. The Adams’ Estate is also fully supportive, which is also good news.
