I've been a H2G2 fan since the early 80's when the radio show ran on NPR playhouse. I'm actually pleasantly surprised. I thought surely they would F* it up, because the early promos referred to Marvin as "The Depressed Robot". There's still hope that they'll get it right.
cosmicgarden said this in response: "It might be it's like a game of Telephone. Marvin the maladjusted sapient machine. Marvin the butler who's under the weather today but will be just fine after he's had an Irish coffee".
Marvin was referred to as the "Manically Depressed Robot" in the books. People who have read the books but not heard the radio show were just as confused when they heard him called the "Paranoid Android."
