omfg yes
omfg no.
We just had a movie of this only 6 years ago and, quite frankly, although the direction and changes to the story were very poor, the casting of it was pretty darn good.
- Arthur Dent = Martin Freeman
- Sam Rockwell = Zaphod Bebblebrox
- Trillian = Zooey Deschanel
- Slartibartfast = Bill Nighy
- Alan Rickman = voice of Marvin
- Stephen Fry = The Guide!
Plus there were outstanding cameos from The League of Gentlemen as various vogons and Bill Bailey as The Whale.
In another six years, the above cast will change, with people wanting whichever comedic pair have replaced Peep Show, whichever elderly comedian is due for a not-too-challenging-but-looks-clever role, whomever happens to be the Doctor’s companion in 2017, and… Stephen Fry as The Guide!
Aren’t you all so clever?
