Hammer and Tongs to do Hitchhikers Guide

All HHGTTG fans, either rejoice or cry into your towels - the increasingly inaccurately named trilogy is going to be a movie after all. Don't panic, the fine folks at Hammer & Tongs will direct and produce the film - the people behind the 'Coffee and TV'-video for Blur and the 'evolution of man'-video for Fat Boy Slim know a thing or three about irreverent craziness. Karey Kirkpatrick is the screenwriter who will try and channel Douglas and coax the old radio script into a movie script.

Karey Kirkpatrick has done us all a favor and interviewed himself about this project, answering the question on everyone's mind: WHO THE H*#&! ARE YOU AND WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO MUCK AROUND WITH THIS TREASURED PIECE OF LITERATURE, YOU AMERICAN HOLLYWOOD HACK?

Also, see Hitchhikersmovie for info on how the film is progressing.

Coming out of the geek-closet here (who am I kidding, everyone knows about my geek streak) I'll use this opportunity to show off my signed copy of HHGTTG. Douglas Adams even spelled my name right, bless his soul.
