There was a BBC series that didn't cover all of the books (it stopped right when things were getting good, IIRC). But I believe that's it. Douglas Adams was working on this movie when he passed away. He's been trying to get this thing made for a long long time. Title: Hitchhiker's Guide..

But I believe that's it. It was also rather poorly made and failed time and time again to deliver anything funny. Title: Hitchhiker's Guide..
