Cast
Soundtrack
The complete motion picture soundtrack was released as an iTunes Music Store exclusive on 12 April 2005, two weeks before the scheduled CD release. The iTunes Music Store also has two further exclusive sets of tracks related to the movie: The Marvin Mixes and Guide Entries. The Marvin Mixes are made up primarily of remixes of a new version of Reasons to be Miserable, here performed by Stephen Fry, as well as a single new vocal track and a single new instrumental track for Marvin, also performed by Stephen Fry (Stephen Moore recorded the original vocals of both tracks in 1981). The Guide Entries are new spoken "Hitchhiker's Guide" entries, all read by Stephen Fry, with accompanying music by Joby Talbot, who wrote the motion picture score.
