Ah. May 6. God, that’s forever away.
I don’t mean to sound like a Balrog Wing obsessive fan but where’s Zaphod’s extra head and arm?!
Well, I’m not supposed to say this, but they’ll be CGI.
Which is why his pose is so funky. Man, must have sucked having to stand like that day after day.
Looks like there’s some froody new artwork up. I’d love to have any of these hanging up on my wall.

Wow… looks like Marvin was actually just as big as everyone else and not just a tiny robot!
Well not tiny, but that oversized head adds significantly to his height.
I still can’t make out how his leg is going to stand in for any of these parts, though.
There are 42 laws of cricket! 42! [/american]
Thanks kaylasdad99 for posting that link. I’d never thought about looking cricket up until I opened that page.
Well, that’s sort of encouraging, actually.
AAARGH! We be scary poet weilding Vogons!
Man, those are some good looking Vogons aren’t they? I could never succesfully create a image of these guys in my head, so I’m sure glad someone else did and brought them to life. Fine job the costume people did here.
Puppet people I mean.
And that was supposed to be “poem weilding Vogons”.
You know, I had that problem too. I agree that those look quite Vogonish.
I always thought of the Vogons as looking something like the aliens from V, but with more warts. Vogons are supposed to be green!
it looks like their Poetry Appreciation Chair™ technology has taken a few steps down as well, either that, or their PAC’s are all in the shop getting repaired, nowhere in the book does it mention that Ford and Arthur were strapped to Poetry Appreciation Rocks™…
aside from the Vogons not being green, it looks like they pretty much nailed the Vogons
as far as Marvin goes, looks like someone took the line “brain the size of a planet” literally, still, Marvin doesn’t look as bad as i thought he would, i was expecting the entire costume to be Warwick Davis size (head included)
now, if they can just change the appearance of the HOG into something more “running shoe” like and ditch the “Death Star with Riceboy wing” thing…
Well, you two have just convinced me with rock solid evidence that this movie will be the biggest piece of shit ever. Thanks!
Perhaps we’re to take it this way: Vogon Poetry is to Poetry as Chair is to Rock.
MichaelEllis, are we being whooshed here?
Nope. These minor details that have only been glimpsed in photographs from a film whose trailer hasn’t even been released don’t match up 100% to the novels, so therefore the movie will be awful.
But the radio series doesn’t match the books, and niether sucked (well, maybe the later books).
