The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy cast list is quickly filling up.

Last week we heard that Mos Def and Zooey Deschanel joined the film - this week brings news that the versatile Sam Rockwell will play the two-headed, three-armed president of the galaxy and old friend of Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox.

Which is some mighty fine news. Rockwell's great (check out CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND), which means that all us nerds get somebody who'll play Zaphod right (with any luck) and all the non-nerds who get dragged to the show will have at least one good actor to watch.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Pardon me, please. Sick as all fucking hell. Bah.
