COMIC-CON: The HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY teaser is shown!
By: Patrick Sauriol and David WhartonDate: Friday, July 23, 2004
We've just received word that the teaser trailer for THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY was shown moments ago at the Pixar panel held at the San Diego Comic Convention. Running between 30 to 60 seconds long, here's how our correspondent described the imagery shown to the audience:
The teaser opens with a tracking shot of the Earth from orbit, like you're flying backwards. Louie Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" song plays over the images.
Suddenly the Earth blows up. Then the shot freezes in mid-explosion.
The words "Don't Panic" appear onscreen.
The explosion of the Earth then continues on, resuming back to normal speed. Debris of the planet fly everywhere. The camera zips through the starscape.
Then the words "The end of the world is just the beginning" appear onscreen.
The starfield resolves itself into a stylized hitchhiker hand.
The teaser ends with the words THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY - Don't leave Earth without it - 2005.
The THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY movie is scheduled to open June 3, 2005.
[Big props to David Wharton for being an eyewitness to the event.]
