So, what do you reckon? Will it live up to the books?

This little teaser trailer is great:

It can't do, no film has ever been that good, it might still be a very good book though. Here's hoping

I'm not sure how it can be good enough without Peter Jones as the voice of the book. Apparently Stephen Fry is stepping up to the plate, which is a fine choice, but it'll still feel weird.

Would that be from the tv show then? Having watched half of the first episode and being horrified at how poor it was, i never got too used to him.

Of course, the radio show. I'm such a dumbass sometimes! I've never listened to that either actually, haven't got around to getting hold of a copy.
Anyone listen to the remake that was on radio 4 recently? Any good?

Peter Jones was the voice of the book in both the radio series and the tv series. I've heard odd episodes of the radio series and it's a bit different from the books as I recall. Kept forgetting to listen to the new one as well.

The shynola guys have been working hard on this. Most of there other stuuf has been cool. Look forward to seeing it.

I have the miniseries on video, if they can get to at least the third book this time I'll be happy. Also they need to put some of those great oneliners back in. Dying for a cup of tea are we?

I liked the TV series. It's something to do while walking around in a circle.

Four books that make a very funny trilogy.
A radio show that could make a mute laugh out loud.
Then a tv series that with its mixture of bad acting, poor props was great to watch.
The books win hands down and I only hope that with modern film making technology Douglas Adams story is returned to the masses.

.....HHGTTG quotes on forum sounds good??

Big thumbs up on the soundtrack choice, but otherwise - barely a trailer... more of a Teaser, I believe.
