Jim Alfredson Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 They are making new ones!!! With most of the original radio cast! WOW! http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hitchhikers/?focuswin Quote
Big Wheel Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 There is also a movie in development. Quote
casanovas347 Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 Wooohooo! I love it, specially the depressive robot...whats his name again? B-) Quote
JohnS Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 I don't know about it. I tried episode one but it seemed a poor show to me compared to the original. I don't think the magic of the original can be recreated despite a few old names in the cast list. Maybe I'll warm to it. Marvin was the paranoid android. Quote
medjuck Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 Obviously the new ones weren't written by the late Douglas Adams. Quote
ejp626 Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 Hard to say if this will work out or not. History says it won't be so great. What is your favorite form of HHGG? I like the books best, then the radio shows (yes, I know they were first), then the DVD of the shows. I also have the computer game floating around somewhere, but I just never got far enough into it to enjoy it. Anyway, what about Red Dwarf? Any fans here? I thought the last season or two wasn't that good, but I am still looking forward to the movie, which is (was) shooting in Australia. At least they do have the original cast and many of the original writers/producers. If it does well, they might consider another season or two of Red Dwarf. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 Books then radio shows for me as well. As far as Red Dwarf, it didn't do a thing for me. If I'm going to watch a show with a color in the title, I'll go with Red Green... Quote
John B Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 There is also a movie in development. starring the actor who played Tim on The Office, as I read on IMDB. fantastic casting, imo. Quote
Big Wheel Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 There is a Java version of the game floating around somewhere. I dug the first few episodes of Red Dwarf that I saw--I remember thinking at the time that it was some of the funniest stuff I had ever seen (I was about 15 or 16). Guess I kind of got bored with it eventually. Quote
Big Wheel Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 ah, here we go: http://www.nulldevice.net/infocom/hitchhik.html (requires Java) Quote
