Burrell, if I recall correctly, Douglas Adams was working with Jay Roach, I think it was, on a screenplay for a while. So it's not like this thing Hollywood's taking advantage of, it's DNA-sanctioned.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

It's already been a graphic novel - and a photo reenactment of the radio series in book form. Also an enormous video game.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I knew about the video game, but I decided to not include it since, technically, it follows a different plot. Very amused about the graphic novel, however.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The books and the original radio series diverge pretty wildly, too -- around Magrathea, if I remember right. I believe DNA once expressed some pride over the fact that every single adaptation had a different plot.
There's also a role-playing pubcrawl.
Oh, and I think there's a record in there somewhere before the TV show as well, that was a condensed version of the radio show. I could look it up but I'd have to, um, walk down a hallway. Past the bedroom. Where sleep is waiting to leap at me.
