…yep, the movie. Not the radio program, not the tv miniseries, the movie.
I just got a conformation from the old Douglas Adams forum that they’ll most likely start filming in 2004, and that Douglas’ brother Rob will be working with it.

Dunno, anything beyond what’s posted at Adams’ site is speculation…I know they’ve been working on the script for quite a while with this one, though.

Sounds like to be a winner for me. Just hope the theaters give out free towels. 😃

Im rather anxious to see how they will pull off Planet Building section of Magrathea, considering how big it is heh.
As long as Zaphod looks better than he did in the BBC series though, I will be happy =)

Haven’t you ever seen Total Recall? 😛
And man, I can’t wait to see a hitchikers movie.

A trilogy (in five parts) about the events after the world is destroyed (and I can’t believe that I put it as a spoiler, since it happens less than 60 pages into the first book, but whatever) and how it affects the lives of Arthur Dent and a mish-mash of other beings aboard the only ship powered by the Infinite Improbability Drive. In a nutshell, it’s one of the great science fiction series.

Any HHGG fan must play this-[http://www.douglasadams.com/creations/infocomjava.html](http://www.douglasadams.com/creations/infocomjava.html)
It is awesome, took me awhile to complete (even with the help of [this](http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/game/10804.html) )
And the movie sounds awesome, just as long as it can execute the feeling the books give well. Although im sure that they will use the miniseries as a guide.

 I just have to say, that if this movie sucks and it disrespects the books, I will be extremly pissed off.
