Very true. In fact, John Macovich's character was created by Adams specifically for the movie. He intends it to be a unique version. I think it will be a mix of several books together too. There was a set report posted online where someone got to tour the Heart of Gold sets and they said they saw the actual Nutrimatic machine with a cup of tea sitting on it. That "scene" doesn't happen until the second book.
Actually, it does happen in the first book.
So, uh yeah, I'm bumping this thread because I just finished reading HGTTG for the first time...and damn it was awesome. I haven't had so much fun reading a book since...ever. Loved the teaser too.
So uh, so this isn't an entirely worthless post, here's a picture of what seems to be Marvin:
He looks like a fat, vertically challenged stormtrooper...wtf. Not like I imagined him to be. Got it from here:

Either way...I hope this movie turns out great.
