H&T just wrapped their new movie

Just got this mail from Garth Jennings, director of the H2G2 movie, and who is working with Nick Goldsmith on their new movie "son of Rambow : a home movie" : "All is well here. we wrapped the movie on Monday afternoon. The shoot was a very big success and the post production is already in full swing. ".

Great news. Can't wait to see the movie. Of course a lot of the guys who are part of the Hammer & Tongs family and worked on the H2G2 movie are also working on this new movie : composer Joby Talbot, Dominic Leung (film editor), Joel Collins (production designer),...

Some time ago, Duke already published some private photos of Doulgas Adams taken by his friend and neigbour Chris Ogle. We had the oportunity to see great pics of Douglas and his family on vacation (skiing in Telluride, March 2001 & celebrating Christmas in Fiji, 2000).

Now Duke has published nine new assorted private photos also taken by Chris Ogle. If you want to see Douglas in everyday life action, you can't miss these moving or funny pics.

H2G2 tertiary phase DVD-A details and cover !

Finally the long wait is almost over. The H2G2 tertiary phase DVD-A is almost here with 5.1 surrond sound mix, behind the scene video, photo gallery, audio extras and a complete version of the Krikkit song.

According to the great Kevin Davies (H2G2 expert and who filmed the H2G2 new radio series recordings), the behind the scene videos will include :

"Online Trailer Arthur and Ford - Together Again Marvin and Zem The New Voice of the Guide Stereo Heads - Zaphod & Trillian

All featurettes are widescreen, including the trailer which was standard ratio 4:3 online. Approx 31 mins of video content altogether.

The "improbable speed" film on Above The Title's website showing the goings-on in studio during the recording of the Q-Phases is naturally being held back for that series DVD-A should this first one prove successful...

...Which it will!" (posted on douglasadams.se forum)

Well you can already pre-order the DVD at the BBC online shop. The official release date is the 2nd October.
