Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - What could have been

[Kevy Baby]

While sitting at my computer vegetating, I was reading through Hugh Laurie's biography on IMDb and saw this:

Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005), originally wanted [Hugh Laurie] to play Arthur Dent for the film adaptation. A deal was almost in place to have Hugh play Dent, along with Jim Carrey as Zaphod and Jay Roach directing, before Adams's untimely death.

Oh, what a movie that might have been!
