Hitchhiker Casting
January 29th, 2004
The latest casting news for The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy film is that Trillian will be played by Zooey Deschanel and Ford Prefect will be played by Mos Def.
As far as I can tell from their filmographies I don’t think I’ve ever seen either actor’s work, so I have no idea whether this is good casting. Would any of my American readers care to enlighten me?

Zooey is brilliant!! Check out The Good Girl or All the Real Girls. Both Excellent.

I don’t especially remember either of them though I remember both the Good Girl (with Zooey) and Italian Job (with Mos) as having decent supporting actors so I guess they must have been alright - just didn’t make a lasting impression. :)

I’m not american, can I still answer?
Zooey was in The good girl and I thought she was cute in that as she was in Elf. If they didn’t dub it, she’s got a good voice too.
She was in one of my favourite films, Mumford but it was a relitivley small part. She was pulled out of one big film and was replaced but I can’t remember the film.
Surely you must remember her as Roz’s cousin from the last series of Frasier?
However I have no idea if she’s right for a part in the film

I skipped season 10 of Frasier, so I missed her appearance there.
