Description
One day, over the earth hung a huge alien spaceship, and have announced to the people that their home planet will be demolished and in its place will be built elegant interstellar highway. Y-yes, no luck mankind. In addition to the most ordinary guy named Arthur Dent, an old friend and drinking buddy Ford Prefect was an alien!
P.s. The film starring Douglas Adams family - daughter, brother, sister and mother. If we talk about the author, so we can see him several times in the movie: the image of Douglas and his wife Jane Belson is easily readable on the Golden Heart.
The screenplay began writing Douglas Adams, and finished Garth Jennings and Carey Kirkpatrick after Adams' death in 2001.
Filming as early as 1982 were going to organize Ivan Reitman and producers Joe Medzhak and Michael C. Gross. Douglas Adams wrote three versions of the script to the project were connected to Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray. As a result, Aykroyd, who was to play Ford Prefect, visited the idea of a "Ghost Hunters" (1984), and together with Reytman he switched to the project.
As conceived by Jay Roach Arthur Dent had to play Hugh Laurie, Jim Carrey was supposed to appear in the role of Zaphod, and Nigel Hawthorne - as Slartibartfast. As a result, the role went to Martin Freeman, Sam Rockwell, and Bill Nighy.
