After 26 years “in the pipeline,” the movie version of the late Douglas Adams‘ megaselling Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy has finally opened. A Reuters wire story by Lydia Bell reports that the film, featuring John Malkovich, Mos Def, and Martin Freeman, represents the completion of a script Adams was working on when he died of a heart attack at age 49 in 2001. It opened last night in London.
