additional bit A big-name actor is hitching a ride on a much-awaited adaptation of a Douglas Adams novel — Confessions of a Dangerous Mind star Sam Rockwell has signed on for a role in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Rockwell will play two-headed alien Zaphod Beeblebrox, who also happens to be the president of the galaxy and an intergalactic thief (he's absconded with one of the most expensive spaceships ever built). Beeblebrox and Earth scientist Trillian (Zooey Deschanel) encounter Ford Prefect (Mos Def), an alien studying the Earth, and Arthur Dent, a benign Earthling, when the latter duo flees the planet just before it's demolished.
The long-in-the-works flick is set to begin filming in April, under the direction of Garth Jennings. Karey Kirkpatrick rewrote the original script written by Adams, who died in 2001.
i wanted to see confessions of a dangerous mind very badly but it being rated R prevents me. i wanna see if it goes on tv. probably comedy central where they won't edit anything.
umm, if they won't edit anything...then what's the point?
That's an oxymoron.
i think she was exaggerating. comedy central has minimal edits. i thinks theres a total of 4 words you ca't say. and no nipples either.
