The day approaches! May 6, as I mentioned earlier. Today comes a review of an early screening from Ain*t It Cool with links to some good stuff including a short clip (note: this has been slashdotted and is currently unavailable. if anyone has a mirror site let me know!) Also linked is some of the concept art which also includes a handy countdown clock (coming soon to Green Scissors as well).
So what is the verdict on the movie? Well, read the review and find out…
My biggest fear going into this film was Mos Def playing Ford Perfect. While his first few lines fall flat, once Arthur (Martin Freeman) and he go into the bar where Ford tells Arthur about the impending doom of planet Earth he fits comfortably into the character. Although there are a couple more spots where he falls a little flat, that*s nothing a little over dubbing won’t fix.
Warwick Davis’ Marvin the depressed android steals the show. His perfect monotone cadence and pitiful attitude make for a great contrast for the rest of the Heart of Gold’s upbeat mood.
