After what was, in my view, the spectacular success of The Lord of the rings, I was of the opinion that Hollywood can film anything that it put it’s mind to. Sure, LOTR had it’s flaws, but it was the best film that it could be, given Tolkien’s source material. So, to begin with, I greeted the adaptation of Douglas Adams’ Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy with open arms. The casting of Alan Rickman as Marvin is even better than casting Sean Bean as Boromir, which I thought was genius. But the only thing that makes me cautious is the fact that it’s being made by Disney, or an offshoot, a company famous for twee kiddies films. This is probably irrational, but I do hope Disney do not ruin these brilliant books.
