[jills]

the late, great Douglas Adams. Soon to be a film.

[football]

The answer happens to be 42.

[jills]

but the question was wrong! What do you think of the cast for the film,football (and any other fans out there!??)??

[MrHeartbreak]

To answer jills' question, I'm not sure any of the cast fits with the version I know best (the TV series); with the possible exception of Bill Nighy as Slartibartfast. Martin Freeman? I'll be seeing Tim Canterbury more than I'll be seeing Arthur Dent!

[jills]

I actually quite like the idea of Martin Freeman as Arthur....but you are right..the casting of Bill Nighy's inspired! I read some of the books before I saw the series, so I had my own ideas of what the characters looked like before the series came to air...and not all matched up with what I'd imagined.
