Hammer and Tongs are directing the new H2G2 movie. I command you immediately to visit their too-kool site : http://www.tongsville.com/

Hammer & Tongs are Nick Goldsmith, Garth Jennings & Dominic Leung. Having graduated from Central St. Martins Graphic Design course in 1996, the trio went on to direct over 50 videos through Red Star films, until eventually opening up their own company in 1999. At their new offices in Soho, each of the Tongs started taking on specific roles: Garth went on to direct videos for bands like Blur and Supergrass. Meanwhile Dominic who edits all of the Hammer & Tongs work started directing videos himself, working with the likes of Moloko and Travis, adding another visual angle to the Hammer & Tongs brand. Nick now focuses on producing and expanding the Hammer & Tongs empire: the Hammer & Tongs book, DVD, website and merchandising, and of course feature film production. (Garth currently has two scripts in development.)
