H2G2 Douglas Adams always said that his screenplay for the film would be the same story as elsewhere but feature scenes which didn't appear or were only hinted at. At Martin Freeman's website, we find that the first scene being filmed is the party at which Arthur meets Trillian. It was apparently the audition scene, which means there was dialogue and means for the first time we'll get to see the earthman completely fail to get off with her. I just hope the immortal line has been kept so I can hear Sam Rockwell saying: "Hey babe, why don't you come up with me? I'm from another planet...." [from here]
