The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy . . .

[OneBlueSky]

is six weeks into filming . . . so the screenwriter decided to do a self-interview to answer some of the questions he imagines are on all our minds . . .

GIVE IT TO US STRAIGHT; IS THE MOVIE IN GOOD HANDS?

Yes. Very. From the top down. Everyone has been very supportive. From Nina Jacobson and Dick Cook at Disney to Roger Birnbaum, Jon Glickman, Derek Evans and all the folks at Spyglass – to Jay Roach (now producing) to Robbie to the directors to the crew - everyone is just really excited about how unique and wonderful this film can be. This is one of those rare films where everyone seems to be on the same page. Even the agents! From Douglas’s longtime agent in London, Ed Victor, to his film agent in L.A., Bob Bookman, who have seen this film through many an incarnation. I recently saw Ed at a party and he said to me three simple words which made my day, actually made my last two years. “You nailed it.” I could see the relief in his eyes because people like him have been waiting a long, long time for this to finally come to fruition.

2. Don't Panic! Go wearing those glasses that turn dark when danger comes.

If it sucks, you don't have to watch it.

6. I agree...on both counts.

4. Disney? I WILL panic!!

He's vague and chooses to be vague.

I bet it won't feature British actors.

This is Disney doing it.

I loved the books, liked the radio version, loved the TV version from 1980 even though it's highly condensed... :cry:

How can Disney improve upon it, without then making schools pay an arm and a leg amongst other organs so that the kids can do a play of it?!

5. I'm still pissed I didn't get the starring role!!!

It must be Thursday.

I never could get the hang of Thursdays . . .
