Douglas Adams, the creator of Hitchhiker's Guide, died several years ago.  Whoever owns the rights to his work now would have to be the one to allow it, and I'm not entirely sure that they would.

I really want to read the books after watching the movie, so yes, I enjoyed it. I guess for someone who read the books first must be different.
 
And I don't think there will be any other game D:

Nothing would ever compare to the books.

I've listened to the audio production many times, read the books, watched the movie.  I don't think the market really allows for existing IPs that don't have a concurrent release on a non-gaming medium to be made unless the IP has become very cheap yet still has a very large market (like Ghostbusters) or is already an established gaming IP (like Dragon Ball).  If they make another movie a tie in game is always possible but I'd say it's unlikely even then.
 
Obviously if a game is made best bet is probably some kind of adventure game like the text adventure original, worst bet is an all out action game, like some of the Hitchhiker movie scenes.

Very Very slim, Unless, zooey deschanel and katy perry star in it and make out... 
 
Wait, No, that would break the cosmos!

Apart from that one game they made years ago I doubt there will be another game based on the The Hitchiker's Guide to The Galaxy. It's just so hard to translate that into a game, unless it's an adventure game but even then it might miss out on a whole lot. So no I doubt there will be one.

this sounds like a terrible idea... just saying...

Even if Telltale or Traveller's Tales (pantomime Lego Vogons?) nabbed it, I can't imagine it would be a game I could play, only watch.
 
If you really want to appreciate Adams' game making influence, find a copy of Starship Titanic.  Very under-appreciated title.

The old Hitchhiker's text adventure was an amazing (though terribly difficult and unfair) game. In the very early 2000s, I remember reading about a new Hitchhiker's adventure game being in the works, and even saw a few screenshots. It looked pretty dang good. Of course after the initial preview, I never ever heard about it again. 
 
I still think Hitchhiker's could be turned into a terrific adventure game. Seems very well-suited for an episodic format even, what with the way the radio series was structured. Telltale take note!

Damn, the dude died at the age of 49... I'll be 45 soon. Damn, a life lived playing video games, now I'm depressed.

Yeah I know but I never heard the radio show. I was just saying how as a kid I would watch the BBC TV adaption that they did every week with my parents and be thoroughly amazed. I was even more amazed a few year back when I found out the all of the nifty on screen representations of the guides graphics were done optically with black card and transparent 'gels' (colour tints for stage lights).
