State Of Play
 

I had to laugh when I saw they were making this into a movie.

The original BBC series was one of the best drama's of the past 10 years. There isn't a single wasted minute of it's 6 hour long episodes. I just don't see how making it into a movie will do it any justice whatsoever.

And as for the cast , the BBC version had John Simm , David Morrissey , Bill Nighy , Kelly McDonald , James McAvoy , Rebekah Staton , Marc Warren & Phillip Glenister. Some of the best British actors currently around. You really think Russell Crowe & Ben Affleck can compete with that talent? give me a fucking break.

So yeah , if anyone is even tempted to watch this movie do yourself a favour & get the DVD of the serial instead.

I'm gunna go see this, bootleg it and mail you a copy.

:p:

I have no idea what the series is about but Ben Affleck makes me want to purge and Russel Crowe...well...nuff said.

Anybody else LOVE the original Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy show on the Beeb? (and yes I use the word beeb to show you all how cool I am).

The American movie was funny because it was based off of the BBC series.
Likewise, this is going to be funny because it is baed off of the BBC series :D.

C'mon now, Crowe is a damn good actor.

As for Affleck, well he........

Ok never mind.
