	The H2G2 movie
		After Douglas passing the script was handed to Karey Kirkpatrick, a screen writer whose claim to fame involves James and the Giant Peach as well as Chicken Run.
		Karey revised the script, working very closely with Jay Roach and Robbie Stamp, and just before Christmas 2002, there emerged something that has since been regarded as the ultimate H2G2 script.
		They went through the script together with Karey Kirkpatrick, made a few structural changes and making it yet stronger, and so finally the project got green lighted and was officially in pre-production as of October 5 2003.

		Kirkpatrick observe that "when books are adapted for film many changes occur and a new version of the story often emerges." Ain't that the truth.
		Now, it would be silly to suggest that this film adaptation has done a tragic disservice to a great book.
		Kirkpatrick's 20 text pages of the movie tie–in book but not once in Dahl) does not, as employed in Hollywood, signify Freud's stream of imagery expressing an unconscious wish, or Jung's "small hidden door into the...sanctum of the soul," much less prophetic vision or childlike fantasy.

		I was also able to make available to Jay Roach and Karey Kirkpatrick many back story notes and ideas from Douglas' hard drive and Karey also had of course the book and the radio series to work with.
		All the substantive new ideas in the movie, Humma, the Point of View Gun and the "paddle slapping sequence" on Vogsphere are brand new Douglas ideas written especially for the movie by him.
		Karey came to be in awe of Douglas' genius and saw his role as primarily structural.

	"Best Screenwriting Magazine"--LA Times
		Roach searched for a writer who could sell Adams' distinctly British style to American audiences, and thus screenwriter Karey Kirkpatrick (Chicken Run) was hired.
		Kirkpatrick did a great job of infusing both Adams' writing and his soul into the script and deserves credit as such.
		Yet the absence of resolution is exactly the point of the book, thus a middle ground was forged when Kirkpatrick wrote new sequences based on Adams' notes to make the tale more filmic.

		American screenwriter Karey Kirkpatrick can now occasionally be heard using words like ''bloody'' in casual conversation.
		The premise of ''Chicken Run'' gave Park, Lord and Kirkpatrick the opportunity to get some of their laughs from watch clay-animated chickens re-enacting serious movie prison escape scenes.
		In fact, Kirkpatrick said, of the animated films he's worked on, working on ''Chicken Run'' was more like working on a real movie.

		The screenplay is credited to Adams and Karey Kirkpatrick, who wrote Chicken Run and James and the Giant Peach -- unimpeachable credits.
		But Kirkpatrick and director Garth Jennings, a maker of music videos, have reduced Adams' mayhem to a polite, throat-clearing ahem and replaced the playful witticisms and nutty scenarios with more conventional sci-fi situations.

		It is certainly hard to believe that Adams directly wrote any of the fresh material that appears on screen — the new patches of dialogue and Guide excerpts are singularly lacking in the dry Adams wit.

		The screenplay is credited to Adams and Karey Kirkpatrick, who wrote Chicken Run and James and the Giant Peach; his are unimpeachable credits, alas.
		But Kirkpatrick and director Garth Jennings, a maker of music videos, have picked off the juicy meat and left only a bone for us to gnaw on.
		They've reduced mayhem to a polite, throat-clearing ahem, replacing the playful witticisms and nutty scenarios with more conventional sci-fi situations (there is even a Star Wars gag for you to gag on) and the pointless addition of a romance between Arthur and Trillian.

		Screenwriter Karey Kirkpatrick was chosen to translate Adams' rough draft into a three-act screenplay.
		Nevertheless, Kirkpatrick wasn't sure he was the one who could condense Adams' vision into a feature film.
		Kirkpatrick says the whole process has been "...bittersweet because we’re happy to see what was Douglas’ life-long hope becoming a reality, but deeply saddened that he can’t be here to enjoy it with us."

		Kirkpatrick was flattered by the proposal, but his initial reaction, despite Adams' famous advice was, well, panic!
		Kirkpatrick continues: "Never before have I been involved with a project where everyone seems to be aiming for a higher cause—doing the memory of Douglas Adams proud—which is great because it means egos get checked at the door.
		This was an early decision made by screenwriter Karey Kirkpatrick and one that Garth Jennings felt worked.

		Screenplay by Karey Kirkpatrick, from a story by Lord and Park.
		That said, there are definitely elements intended for both age groups, and the screenplay by Karey Kirkpatrick slips in several references which only the grown-ups will get -- the chickens meet in Hut 17, for example, a sly reference to the World War II internment movie "Stalag 17", starring William Holden.
		He trusts that his audience is intelligent enough to figure these things out for themselves; I wish other movies had this kind of faith.

	Locus Online: Gary Westfahl reviews A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
		The story begins in 1978, when Douglas Adams scripted the first of two BBC radio series entitled The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, featuring a hapless Earthman named Arthur Dent catapulted into madcap space adventures after Earth is destroyed by a cosmic demolition team.
		Now, years after his death, comes Adams's final contribution to the series, a film adaptation of the first novel co-scripted by Adams and Karey Kirkpatrick.
		This sweetly sentimental recasting of Dent's character also distorts and disfigures this new adaptation of the original story, and while one would like to blame co-author Kirkpatrick or interfering studio executives anxious about the bottom line, I strongly suspect that Adams himself added this overlay of treacle to what was once his delightfully acidic concoction.

	Flipside Movie Emporium: Chicken Run Movie Review
		Directors Nick Park and Peter Lord started things right by applying a fundamental constant in the annals of comedy -- chickens are really silly animals -- to the time-honored genre of WWII escape films.
		They added the understated wit of Karey Kirkpatrick's script, a gaggle of terrific characters, and a group of acting voices perfectly suited to the material, and produced not only the best movie of the summer so far, but a brilliant successor to their series of Oscar-winning shorts.
		Somewhere in the flest pits of Yorkshire sits Tweedy's Farm, an unholy gaol from the Ninth Circle of barnyard hell.

		Adams was also directly involved with attempting to get this movie made, but sadly he passed away in 2001.
		He had almost finished writing the script, which was then tightened up by Karey Kirkpatrick.
		Just the same, something must've gotten lost in the translation to film, where the focus has shifted from the aforementioned conceptual satire to what feels like a whimpering attempt to make the movie accessible for general audiences.
