Another Hitchhiker’s Trailer

Be still, my beating geek heart.

The UK trailer for the new Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie.

Featuring not only the voice of the book (Stephen Fry) and Marvin (Alan Rickman), but also—I can scarcely believe how much this thrills me—the original theme music from the radio series! Hooray for the BBC Radiophonic Workshop!

It's lovely, but it isn't the BBC you want to thank. Joby Talbot created this version of the tune, originally "Journey Of The Sorcerer" by The Eagles.

Thanks for the info. I loved the theme when I first heard it (watching the TV show when it was repeated on Friday nights on BBC2, round about 1986/87), and will probably buy a movie soundtrack CD if there's a good version on it.
