The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (May 6)
Martin Freeman, Mos Def, Sam Rockwell
"Please God - make this movie genius," Ain't It Cool News editor Harry Knowles recently wrote on his Web site, and millions around the world surely shouted "Amen!"
"Hitchhiker's Guide," a wacky, good-natured sci-fi book written by Britain's Douglas Adams in the 1970s, inspires almost religious devotion from some.
"Hitchhiker" fans feel protective about it, too, but hopes are running high for the movie, especially after the lead went not to a Hollywood star but to the understated Brit comedian Martin Freeman (best known as lovable Tim from BBC's "The Office").
"I feel a strong personal responsibility to Douglas," producer Robbie Stamp says of Adams, who died in 2001. But that didn't stop filmmakers from adding material that wasn't in the book, including a new character that Adams was working on before he died - Humma Kavula, "a crazed missionary who believes we were all sneezed into existence," Stamp says. "He awaits the coming of the great white handkerchief."
