Hitchhikers Thumb to Dublin...

The movie Premiere of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was held in Dublin's UGC this week and saw a number of faces from the film's lineup beside some Irish stars to see this long awaited flick...

BILL NIGHY & FAN @ HITCHHIKERS PREMIERE

It may have been twenty years in the making and unfortunately saw the demise of its creator Douglas Adams before its completion but finally The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has made it to the Big Screen!

BILL NIGHY @ HITCHHIKERS PREMIERE

For a long time it looked like that the late Douglas Adams would have to hit his own 'infinite improbability drive' to get his book made into a movie but with the financial backing of Disney and Martin Freeman (The Office) in the lead role The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is opening at a cinema near you from tomorrow...

NICK GOLDSMITH & GARTH JENNINGS @ HITCHHIKERS PREMIERE

And although we didn't get the full cast from the movie at the Irish Premiere in the UGC this week Hammer & Thongs producers Nick Goldsmith and Garth Jennings lined-up beside that marvelous British actor Bill Nighty (who plays Slartibartfast) to give our photographers something to aim at.

TOM JORDAN MURPHY & EMMA ROCHE @ HITCHHIKERS PREMIERE

Without going into too much detail HGTG sees normal guy Arthur Dent (Mark Freeman) on an adventure that would best be described as Red Dwarf meets Monty Python after the Earth is blown up to make-way for a hyperspace bypass.

FIONA O'SHAUGHNESSY & MARK O'HALLORAN @ HITCHHIKERS PREMIERE

The concepts are amazing and hilarious and the look of the film is almost perfect with Jim Henson's Vogons fitting perfectly into this insane world.

PADDY BREATHNACH & JONI CLARKE @ HITCHHIKERS PREMIERE

So if you like your comedy on the bizarre side or if you just want to take your mind to a place it's never been before go and see this movie... Even if it's just for the Infinite Improbability Drive!

The only negative thing that took away from the movie is that there are so many great characters and concepts to fit into a mere 110 minutes - at times you are left feeling that the pace is a bit off in places.
