Happy fun shiny news

For all the Douglas Adams and Alan Rickman fans out there, I have news...

According to sources reporting from other sources at rickman_daily, Alan Rickman is to be the voice of Marvin the Paranoid Android.

Commence squee!ing now!

(I still want to see him as Crowley from Good Omens, though...)

It's not animated -- it's live-action! Warwick Davis is going to be the one in the Marvin costume.

Who the hell's Mos Def?

When I was in college, we had an all-night book reading relay to raise money for "insert your favorite charity here" (can't remember)...anyway, we read the first 3 books of the Hitchhiker's trilogy (the 4th book of the trilogy wasn't yet published), outloud, non-stop, for 15 hours. Great fun!

I didn't know who he was either. He's a rapper who's apparently also a very talented actor. I think there's some info on him in the other comments on this entry. A lot of people are excited about him.
