It is a great trailer!

Online ‘Hitchhiker’ Trailer Visits ‘Sin City’
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) – A trailer for “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” that was made exclusively for the Internet will make an unprecedented leap to the big screen on Friday, April 1st. No foolin’.
Because of overwhelming online buzz since debuting mid-February, the promo will piggyback onto the theatrical release of Robert Rodriguez’s action-packed “Sin City,” which opens Friday.
“The response to the online trailer has been nothing short of phenomenal, with more than 7,000 discussions about the film posted since its debut. Many of those discussions urged us to put the trailer on the big screen,” says Oren Aviv, president of marketing at Buena Vista Pictures. “The trailer is great fun for movie fans of all ages, whether they’ve read the Douglas Adams books or not, and it takes a very lighthearted, engaging and irreverent approach towards introducing the film.”
The preview sets up the adventures of humble Arthur Dent (Martin Freeman of “The Office” and “Shaun of the Dead”) after he becomes the only human to survive the demolition of Earth by the Vogons, who intend to use it for hyperspace freeway development. He joins a ragtag bunch of intergalactic travelers who are trying to discover the meaning of life.
Based on the best-selling novel by Douglas Adams, “Hitchhiker’s Guide” opens nationwide on Friday, April 29. The film also stars Mos Def, Sam Rockwell, Zooey Deschanel and Bill Nighy.
