Bring your towels to this one.

This has been a long time coming.  Recently picked up a single hardback volume of all the works.  Am tempted to write the words

"Don't Panic"

In large friendly letters on the cover.

If you check the link that toastyO gave, he does. They are just attached to one Neck. It kind of caught me off guard also, but there's a seperate head there.

Zaphod does have 2 heads in the movie, just adapted to the setting. They aren't side by side but you get a glimpse of it near the end of the Amazon.com trailer.

Amazon must have taken down the trailer, but I did see it the other day.  Unfortunately I missed Zaphod having two heads (I was at work so maybe I wasn't paying as much attention) but they did have his third arm.  The problem is that the HoG is in the wrong shape (wasn't it shaped like a shoe?) and other than the beginning parts (goodbye world) I don't remember any of the events in the trailer happening in the book.  I guess I just need to read them again.

I thought that towels were supposed to be soaked in anti-depressants?

They aren't side by side.  One is on top of the other.  At one point in the trailer the single head you usually see tlitls back, and the second one rises up out of his collar.

I'm guessing they did it that way so they didn't have to worry about showing two heads all the time.  (In the old BBC TV show, the second head mostly just hung there looking lifeless.  This movie won't have that issue. )

OK, I think this has been posted somewhere before but I didn't see it in this thread.  If you haven't seen the trailer linked on the IGN Filmforce page you need to.  It is much better than the others I have seen, this one actually made me want to go see the movie.  It looks very funny.  (The first ones sucked, IMO.)
