Interview With The Screenwriter For The HHGTTG Movie

He seems to have a pretty good sense of humor.

So I decided to interview myself because a) I think I’ll be harder on myself and know what sort of questions an interviewer might ask and b) no one has asked to interview me.

And why should they? Who am I? “Not Douglas Adams” is the answer that concerns most people. So with this in mind let’s proceed. Here are some of the questions I imagine most fans of the book (and the radio series and the TV series and the Infocom game) are asking at this point.

WHO THE H*#&! ARE YOU AND WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO MUCK AROUND WITH THIS TREASURED PIECE OF LITERATURE, YOU AMERICAN HOLLYWOOD HACK?
Ah. Good one. Yes, I can see why a lot of people might be wondering this. So let’s see…

My name’s Karey Kirkpatrick. You can Google or imdb me to find my credits (incidentally, I’m a guy – not the female news anchor in Buffalo, N.Y.) But the short answer is no one has the right to muck around with this treasured piece of literature. I didn’t seek it, it found me. The story goes something like this.

Hopefully, he won’t foul it up.

Tuckerfan, this interview is five months old…

Content Section: All the changes made to the story are from stuff Adams was working on; they had access to his hard drive.

He does sound like a good guy. Thanks for posting this, TF.

I was happy to hear that Martin Freeman is going to play Arthur Dent- he’s one of the most likable British actors out there.

OMG! They actually added another photo to the photo gallery.

Now they’re up to three.
