Hitchhiker Stars Set
British actors Bill Nighy (Love Actually) and Martin Freeman (TV's The Office) are set to star in the feature-film version of Douglas Adams' SF cult novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the BBCi Films Web site reported. Nighy told the site that he's been cast as alien planet designer Slartibartfast in the long-gestating adaptation. Freeman will play Arthur Dent, the everyday Earthling thrust into an interplanetary adventure, the site added. (Fangoria, meanwhile, reported that Warwick Davis will also appear.)
"I'm a big fan of the book, and the people who are making it are very cool people, and I think they're going to do a good job," Nighy told the site. "It's a really good script. It's really, really faithful [to the book]. All the jokes are there, and they're big fat jokes. It's wonderful. And with all the technology we have now, it can not only be a big satisfying comedy, but I figure it could be quite exciting as well."
