EXCLUSIVE BONUS TRAILER: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I almost fell on the floor laughing at the way the guide explained a trailer...

The trailer should be on the front page

"Trailers also normally employ a deep voice that sounds like a seven foot tall man that has been smoking cigarettes since childhood."

Agreed. Bigger version, on a mirror that I can link directly to people so when it falls of the front page.

That puts all other trailers to shame. The only bad part about it was that it was so great, I know I'll never see anything better.
I bet you think that's funny, don't you.

Yes... it's unfortunate that every movie trailer in the forseeable future will seem quite anticlimactic compared to that.

But then again, we have the actual movie to look forward to. And I must say, whoever does the voice of Marvin is perfect.

EDIT: I knew I knew that voice. It's the dude who plays Professor Snape in the Harry Potter movies, as well as the dude from Dogma. Ooooh, he's in Galaxy Quest too.

Is that the same guy from the show? Or is it just because his voice is PERFECT. That is either the exact voice that I imagined Marvin would have, or I am just saying that because it was the same guy from the show.

Its Alan Rickman doing Marvins voice if I recall.
The trailer is awesome, I here that a high quality one will be up on the official site tommorow:D
2005-02-26, 8:00 PM #13
It sounds like Alan Rickman, but according to IMDB it's Warwick Davis who's very short.

Warwick plays the suited up visual roll of Marvin. The voice itself is Rickmans.
2005-02-26, 9:06 PM #15
the music at the end is from MiB... lmfao. Such a great trailer. :D

While the quality is exactly the same (I ripped it from them), it's a direct download, and no streaming troubles for all of you who have slow connections. It's what it would be if you had an absolute perfect connection.

I soooo want one of those Marvin things shown in the clay/stopmotion version.

That was amazing.

Too bad I'll be out of town on April 29th. :(

After another viewing, I have to say that that is hands-down the best movie trailer ever created.

Pity it's a UGO exclusive.
2005-02-27, 1:16 AM #23
Now Now Now!!!!
I want this movie Now!!

That was awesome, AND, I have much more hope for Marvin now, while before I was a little sceptical.

I need to reread the book again before the movie.

Yeah, Alan Rickman sounds like a good choice. Literally.

I really hate how they added a reverb to Marvin's voice. Why would a robot even sound like that?
2005-02-27, 9:19 AM #28
fantastic! Stephen Fry was a great choice for the voiceover, too.

This trailer has restored my hope that the movie might turn out alright. The other one looked terrible.
