The more I see, the more I like. I wasn't too sure about the design of Marvin, but Alan Rickman doing his voice gives me a bit of confidence. My only lingering complaint is Zaphod's heads.

It's growing on me.. I'm actually starting to look forward to the movie (which usually meant it's going to be a bust). EVERY movie I see how is a bust

Omg

That was a great trailer.

I can't wait to see this movie.

edit: On Re-viewing it, I noticed the page has one release date, and the trailer has another. What one is it?

Having worked in a post-production house, I know a few people who are probably laughing their assess off at this (with probably a few more quite upset at this.)

Weird. The release date has always been April 29 AFAIK.

I like Marvin too. Zaphod Beeblebrox's lack of true two headedness is mitigated by Sam Rockwell in the role.

Besides, it's better than this:

What about his arms?

And isn't the DON'T PANIC label supposed to be on the front of the book, not the back?

Which one's his real head? BBC special effects just blow me away.

Ha ha, that was one of the funniest movie trailers I've ever seen.

Almost as funny as that one by Seinfeld a few years ago which used to be on Apple's site but isn't anymore.

Ahh! Thank you.

zizban · Mar 10, 2005, 07:08 PM

Ha! That rocks. Alan Rickman=good choice for most anything.

ZO · Mar 10, 2005, 10:17 PM

pretty cool indeed

Is there a bigger version of the 2nd trailer up at that site, too? Just saw #2 on Apple's site (the one mentioned in this thread is #3), and it's pretty funny, also.

Yeah, Hollywood does that sort of thing much better:

I didn't see one. I thought the 2nd trailer was funny as well.

the one on the right

Eriamjh · Mar 12, 2005, 10:43 PM

The one on Amazon was funnier. Does anyone have that in QT?

andi*pandi · Mar 12, 2005, 11:14 PM

better than the other trailer, which seemed to be masquerading as your regular alien invasion schtick. Enjoyed the satire, and alan rickman is deadon.

Balneum · Mar 13, 2005, 10:50 AM

Propably the best trailer in the universe.

never have I waited a movie like I do with this one.

Thanks for that.

I sincerely hope that you were being sarcastic too!

this whole thread is bathed in satire.

ghporter · Mar 13, 2005, 09:58 PM

I don't recall a more moving, provocative, and thoughtful trailer in my whole life!

This is gonna kick a**! Er hem. I'm sure I'm going to like this film.

I had to watch it twice to catch Alan Rickman. Oh boy! This is gonna be fun!
