| The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Losing your planet isn't the end of the world.
Twenty years in the making, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy brings the story that became beloved by millions and a part of the worlds pop cultural zeitgeist at long last to the movie screen. Mix-mastering science fiction, comedy, adventure and philosophy into one original entertainment experience, acclaimed author and Renaissance man Douglas Adams novel was always considered ahead of its time.
But now a new day has dawned on the story with this motion picture version that Douglas was intimately involved in creating prior to his tragic early death of a heart attack. It all begins with Arthur Dent (Martin Freeman), a typical guy having a very bad day. Arthurs house is about to be bulldozed, his best friend turns out to be an alien and, to top things off, it appears that Planet Earth will be demolished in mere seconds to make way for a hyperspace freeway. Arthurs only chance for survival: hitch a quick ride on a passing spacecraft, with the help of his best friend Ford Prefect (Mos Def). Jetting off into the complete unknown, Arthur makes some major, mostly harmless, discoveries about the true nature of the universe. He finds that a towel is the most massively useful thing a person can carry. He uncovers the precise meaning of life. And he learns that the answers to everything anyone ever wanted to know and plenty that no one in his right mind could possibly have expected are all to be found in one fantastically entertaining electronic book: The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Thats right. Theres a guide to this crazy cosmos of ours or at least thats the way Douglas Adams imagined it, and nothing has quite been the same afterwards. Indeed ever since Adams first wrote the story of Arthur Dent and his accidental discovery of the largest collection of cosmic wisdom this side of the Big Bang, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy has been blowing minds, tickling funny bones and revealing to its fans just how fun Life, the Universe and Everything in it might turn out to be if only we could spend the weekend at the edges of time and space. |
