Re: Cast for H2G2 movie
Good proposal; Hugh Laurie is perfect, and am very pleased to see someone mention Rik Mayall. Not only did I enjoy The Young Ones, but enjoyed his Lord Flashheart, and Rik Mayal presents (how many people here know that show I wonder?)
Here’s my quick list:
Arthur Dent: Mr. T because everybody knows how much Arthur loves his cup of T.
Ford Prefect: David Hasselhoff cause a lifeguard on a beach also knows where his towel is at.
Zaphod B: Any old actor with two heads would do (and luckily for casting, most of them are unemployed too)
Trillian: Eddie Izzard (just for fun)
Marvin: Any very sad geezer would do. 😉
Slartibartfast: undecided
A very good list of yours, interesting choices. Please excuse mine. For Zaphod I’d really quite like to see Tim Curry — he just has that weirdness down. Much as I’d like to see Palin, or Idle in the role of Ford, they are a little too old — maybe as Slartibartfast? But then is Tim C. a little old for Zaphod? — no, I think not.
