his attitude was that he'd sold the film rights, taken the money, and run, and wasn't taking any part or interest in what happened next.
That's Alan Moore's attitude as well, as you can tell from dramatisations of From Hell and the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. But given that Douglas Adams took about 25 years jumping through hoops to get anybody to make a film of Hitchhiker's guide, perhaps they have the right attitude to not worry about the Hollywood process and just sell the rights and get on with whatever else they're doing.
