It wasn't run over, it was destroyed by a waepon. The entire planet was broken down into its component atoms.

Well the original screenplay was written by Douglas Adams so I'm not terribly worried.

I just watch the Trailer, I really hope they capture the humor of the books, and not just make seem "actiony".

In other words, I don't want to be thrilled, I want to laugh my *** off.

I think I'd be pretty satisfied if they just took EXACTLY what's in the book and translated it to screen.

I love that series, it's almost like a Bible to me.

Exactly what you said - I know the content won't change (thank god it was a story that was penned before any "televised medium" got to it [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]. That said, I love that BBC version to bits, so I very much doubt that a 2hour film could do it justice really... *sit (rather uncomfortably) on the fence for now* [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

There is a chance, however improbable, that the film might not be your standard 2 hours.

I think that this is highly improbable though. But something I'd wish for.

Well, hopefully they will go the way of peter jackson and extend the time in order to make it closer to the books, but it won;t be known until more info is realized. one can always hope, however.
