...Hitchhiker's Guide is another cross-'em-up surprise: a nerd-friendly science-fiction comedy (based on the cult-classic novel and radio show by Douglas Adams) about a melancholy English bloke named Arthur Dent (Martin Freeman) who roams the galaxy after Earth is demolished to build an interstellar bypass.

"Voyager is beginning to explore the final frontier of the solar system...

Adams fan clubs flourish, and Disney has reportedly dusted off plans for a movie based on Arthur Dent's interstellar wanderings. But as M.J.
