It shouldn’t be according to [PlanetMagrethea](http://www.planetmagrathea.com/news.html) , [but it is anyways](http://www.aintitcoolnews.com/display.cgi?id=19423).

I haven’t been able to get it to work yet myself. I wonder if it was taken down already.

Finally got it to work, and the quality is pretty bad. I can’t even form an impression the way it plays on my computer. Bummer.

I got it to work. I just have to say: I never expected Zaphod’s other head to be…_there_.

Evidently, it’ll be back up later tonight at [www.amazon.com](http://www.amazon.com) and the IMDb, so as soon as they have it up, I’ll run a new link for it. Sorry to those of you who didn’t get a chance to peek.

In a five minute gap between checks, that happened ☹

Hopefully it’ll play better for me when it’s put back up.

[Here](http://hitchhikers.movies.go.com/main.html) is the official site with two trailers.

It looks like the film is going to be full of references to other sci-fi.
