spatchBecause I want to be your source of Hitch-Hiker's Guide movie news, here's the latest casting scoop. Pictures of each are included under each cut.
Ford Prefect will be played by Mos Def, shown here (second from right)
Trillian will be played by Zooey Deschanel, shown here in "Almost Famous" (and really, the 70s stewardess look is almost quasi-futuristic, don't you think?)
Well, wow.
And just in case I hadn't been enough of a dork today, the suggestion of "Ryan Stiles as Ford" on the SA Forums brought me and E. to discuss WHOSE GUIDE IS IT ANYWAY?
Starring Paul Merton as Arthur, Ryan Stiles as Ford, Chip Esten and Brad Sherwood as Zaphod (Chip acting as Brad's arms, "Helping Hands" style), Josie Lawrence as Trillian, Tony Slattery and Mike McShane as Majikthise and Vroomfondel, Colin Mochrie as Slartibartfast, Greg Proops and Sandi Toksvig as Benjy and Frankie Mouse, Steve Frost as both Deep Thought and Marvin, and Clive Anderson as the The Book saying goodnight: goodnight.
Oh, and Wayne Brady as far from this project as possible.

It's also constantly interesting to see the actors and actresses who can come across as erudite and glib in-character, but when given an interview as themselves, break back down into word whisker central (or, in the case of the fellow who played Chris Stevens on Northern Exposure, reveal themselves to be completely ignorant of the literate references their character makes!)
