H2G2 Movie!

[PrivatePanic]

Hey there!


I'm a huge H2G2 Fan and I was sooo excited when I heard the movie is done and comes someway during may (at least, in the US, here in Germany I probably have to wait some more...)


But then, I surfed to hitchhikersmovie.com and saw some of the cast and concept art, and I was a bit disappointed with their decisions...

For instance, Mos Def as Ford Prefect, c'mon, I mean, in every novel / comic adaption and even the orig radio series, I thought Ford was a white man (not that I have anything against black ppl, don't want to look like a racist now... :/)

And, the Heart of Gold is a giant sphere, whereas in the book it's described to be "shaped like a running shoe"... and MARVIN, god, he looks like a toy robot in the movie:

clicky!


....or am I overreacting?

I think Marvin looks damned cool. I too always pictured Ford as a white man (or more specifically, a young Christopher Lloyd dressed up like Doctor Who), but I got over it. We'll just have to wait and see.

They have ruined Marvin, i suppose, as long as his character hasn't been changed.

I have Marvin on my desktop right now. And the plan is for the trailer to come out this week.

he has to have curly hair. He just has to.

<edit> dear god, he's bald. I'm just going to shoot myself now.

Thats how I picture Slartibartfast. Ford was just seems to be described as looking almost normal, but not quite.

 

[DarkStar]

Who cares what the actor looks like? As long as the dude can portray the role, it'll be great.

I thought Mos Def was a fine choice.

 

[Direwolf]

Supposedly he does a decent job in the role, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
