[ Film & TV -> Interview ] - More info on Person: Garth Jennings | More info on Person: Nick Goldsmith | More info on Film & TV: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Comingsoon.net have posted Part 4 of their Q&A session with Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy director Garth Jennings and producer Nick Goldsmith.

Most of the fans seem to find everything out way in advance so it's hard to keep things a surprise! Slartibartfast and the planet factory are turning out to be pretty wonderful elements in the film visually but still very much what you heard in the original series. The Vogon's destroying Earth is as you heard it but with added mayhem and madness. I also think our take on Arthur and Ford in the Vogon airlock is a peach. I suppose the biggest surprise, judging by the amount of questions that crop up about him, will be how good Mos Def is at playing Ford and how funny his entrance into the film is.

Added mayhem and madness to the destruction of Planet Earth? Sounds fine to me. I've never read, nor seen, any of HHGG so I'm hoping to be impressed by the film. Oh yeah...you can also read Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of the interview if you want too.

Actually the questions were fan submitted a couple of months ago then sent out to a bunch of sites at the same time. So it's not really 'their' Q&A. Plus, you have to read the books, really you do.
