Apparently the new trailer is up on http://www.amazon.com but I can't see it up there.

Anyway, i know the trailer is here:

Looks pretty funny.

Ive been waiting for it to be released. I watched the BBC version of the book and all I can say is that I was not laughing nearly as hard as I did when Iwas reading the books. the movie better be awsome because I have some high expectations for it.

it actually seems like it has a decent cast theres a ton of info here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371724/
mos def plays Ford Prefect. John Malkavich is some guy in the movie. Martin Freeman is Aurthur. I dunno I think it loks good even with the weird twists. I really hope they didnt leave out the cricket robots and the fight scene from there.

i thought ford was supposed to be American, and it doesn't say what colour he is in the book at all, so who cares?... Trillian to Tricia is weird , and if you watch the trailer closely, Zaphod has two heads, but seems to be able to tuck one away...
