And Another Thing… New Hitchhiker’s Guide Book Coming in 2009

What the heck is going on here? Has someone been downing Pangalacticgargleblasters? A new Hitcherhicker’s Guide to the Galaxy book? What?

Yep, it’s true. BBC is reporting that Eoin Colfer, author of the Artemis Fowl series, has been commissioned to write “And Another Thing…“, the sixth book in the Hitcherhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Series.

“I feel more pressure to perform now than I ever have with my own books,” he said, adding that he was “determined that this will be the best thing I have ever written”.

Big Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince Problems

Ain’t It Cool News has got a couple of MAJOR spoilers by people who’ve seen the nearly completed “Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince”, which was postponed until next summer.

Dark Tower Movie Coming

A movie of the Dark Tower series of novels from Stephen King is in the planning stages!

Damon Lindelof is interested in doing it, but says:

“And the idea of doing that at the same time Carlton (Cuse, co-producer) and I are bringing Lost to a close is simply not viable. There are always Dark Tower conversations, but the figuring out of what this will look like as a movie has not begun.”

He added: “If The Dark Tower were in the right hands, I would love to see seven movies executed just right. But you have to get people to see the first one to get them to come and see the second one.
