Creature Shop: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

[Buck-Beaver]

Has anyone else heard that the Creature Shop is working on this movie? A site called "Magrathea" has posted some pics of a fitting for Marvin (Warwick Davis). In them he's trying on a prototype costume.

Here's the link ~ http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mjs2000/protomarvin.htm

cool

"HHGTTG" is a very funny and smart book. there could be alot of things they can work on, seeing how the television show was terrible....on the affects site

I saw the pictures of Marv. just yesterday, and I think I am going to cry...

Except for the head, it looks like a Stormtrooper costume. Well I guess Warwick Davis was in Return of the Jedi.

Except for the head, it looks like a Stormtrooper costume.

And that's only one of the problems with it...

not quite how i pictured marvin. maybe they'll use some muppet penguins for the probablility drive segment, swirling around.

interesting though. i imagine the film we be compromised for taco bell cups. prove me wrong! got the rap guy playing prefect.. ok i'll accept that one......................... :|

i read that spike jonze was asked to direct after the guy who directed austin powers dropped it. spike refused and suggested the current uk team. never heard of em.

also, here is some wild conjecture: i read that spike jonze is going to do a live action film of "where the wild things are", and rumors are flying that the creature workshop is involved. anyone heard anything about this? the bit about the creature workshop?

AICN did a report from an ealy test screening, word is that this movie was done on cheap and Creature effects are kind of a mixed bag:
