I can actually see Martim Freeman as Arthur. He is the only one I whole-heartedly agree with.

I was never a fan of Sam Rockwell because I could not get past the character he played in 'The Green Mile', but after thinking about it, I think he wasn't too bad a choice. I have to say that like Sandra Dickenson (sp?) I completely disagree with Zooey. I have never liked her. The first time I saw her was in 'The Good Girl' and I thought her preformance was flat. I gave her another chance and went to see 'Elf', same thing, a flat, boring preformance. I really can't see her doing a even half decent job of it.

Back to Ford, I initially completely disagreed with Mos, but I am beginning to think that he may actually be just different enough to do a good job. We'll have to see.

It's 'Dickinson', seeing as you asked. smiley - smiley

On a pseudosimilar note, does anybody know anything about this Tertiary Phase of the radio seris that's allegedly been recorded? All the news articles were mysteriously pulled moments after they were published. smiley - erm

Here,

MJ Simpson's site is the best for news on the Tertairy Phase.
There is actually a story that was posted today about it. Here is the link:

BTW, Thanks for the spelling correction!

I can't see him making a decent Ford either.

He'd be all "yo, I be biggin' it up phat style from Betelguese, word!" -- how's that going to work??

Well, I have no experience of Mos Def, but he has, says IMDb, acted before and if he's been casted as a Ford Prefect, he must be able to adapt to roles other than the one you've, rather extremely portrayed here.

I don't think that was fair - Like I said I've not seen him act (or even heard of him before) but I think it's fair to give them a chance. smiley - erm
