Green Wing and Free Agents star Stephen Mangan is to play the lead role in BBC4's adaptation of the late Douglas Adams Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Mangan will be joined by Darren Boyd as his sidekick Richard MacDuff and Cold Feet and Friends actor Helen Baxendale, as MacDuff's girlfriend Susan.
Adapted by the Bafta-winning writer Howard Overman – who is also behind Misfits, Vexed and Merlin – Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency follows the exploits of Adams's chaotic character as he uses his unusual methods to solve crimes.
Mangan said: "I've been a fan of Douglas Adams ever since the Hitchhiker's radio series which I used to record as a child and listen to over and over again in my bedroom. It's such a thrill to now be playing one of his brilliant characters.
"Dirk is a chaotic, anarchic force of nature with a totally unique take on the world. He is described as 'lazy, untidy, dismissive and unreliable'. I've absolutely no idea why they thought I'd be right for the role."
The Dirk Gently books have formed the basis of a play and a BBC Radio 4 series but have never before been filmed for TV.
Adams's agent, Ed Victor, said: "For all the years I represented the late, great Douglas Adams, the most substantial frustration for both of us was that we couldn't get films made either of Hitchhiker or Dirk.
"Douglas once said, memorably, that 'getting a film made in Hollywood was like trying to cook a steak by having a bunch of people come into the room and breathe on it'. Well, we did eventually get a film made in Hollywood of Hitchhiker and, tragically, Douglas didn't live to see it. Nor will he see this adaptation of Dirk – but it's worth bearing in mind that Douglas always thought Dirk would make a better film than Hitchhiker and I feel sure that this new TV drama with a terrific script by Howard Overman will prove his point."
Shooting begins this week in Bristol on the 60-minute drama, which is being made by ITV Studios in association with the Welded Tandem Picture Company.
The Dirk Gently production is to be directed by Damon Thomas – who also directed BBC4 drama The First Men in the Moon – and will air early next year.
相当可以，情节不新奇，但节奏很好，几乎没尿点。
阿金斯这么牛逼＋1星，他的团队一起杀了五百人+1星
我觉得还不错啊，挺文艺，也挺悬疑，为啥豆瓣短评都没一个
酣畅淋漓，除了一车皮反派永远打不完之外，毫无槽点
找钥匙是重要一环 很高兴导演和彦祖联袂制造了一段任性的表演 强如吴彦祖在好莱坞也是要靠舔的 情节上中规中矩 画面和制作无可挑剔 让人重新找到一开始看西部世界的感觉 所以女二一开口吓一跳 才知道是正经的英国人 我相信结尾部分画面灵感来源和西部3一样 即使能赶上取材去年blm 零元购好像并不需要燃烧瓶
有几个地方比较穿帮，潜行的主角应该是暴露在敌人视野里的，但敌人无动于衷。不过不影响整体效果。
美国战狼，事实上不可能坚持这么久的，最后居然还赢了。
7分。枪战很过瘾，刀也耍得漂亮。很牛逼的CS。
黑色电影+赛博朋克式设定，本来可以做的更好，格局还是做太小了，只讲了一个一般的悬疑爱情故事，背后的背景设定完全成为摆设，有点可惜了…
You came to my 家，我真的会笑
战斗场面蛮假的，电影好像也没看完，印象不清了，肯定看过一部分，但结局是怎样不记得了，如此看来，不能算是一部令人印象深刻的电影
名字就叫one shot，一镜到底的噱头貌似也没啥用，剧情比较平庸，动作戏还可以。
看的太爽太刺激了。全程一镜到底仿佛跟着海豹突击队身临其境经历了这场绝望的Rescue Mission。到最后Last Man Standing的那十几分钟，真的是心都要悬到嗓子眼了。
one shot 是不是有 一镜到底 的意思？看了一会儿意识到这电影要来一镜到底。打斗还是可以的，主角这边减员还是很合理的，主角没有007或者碟中谍那种科技辅助，纯自身愣是全给挑了……这结果有点 狼 了，但好歹战后是浑身伤痛，不那么潇洒。
只见过说中文蹦英文的，第一次见说英文蹦中文的。吴彦祖牛🐮

事实上如果不是休叔，我真想给这部片子打一星，整部片子从头到尾给人一种故弄玄虚的感觉，看预告以为是悬疑科幻，后来才发现居然是无聊透顶的爱情片…故事讲得好就罢了，问题是拍得真的很无聊，节奏一团糟，故事也有点不知所云。
只有一个镜头，one shot。带入感太强了，关掉挑剧情、挑bug那几根弦，随着镜头挨到底，爽就完了
one mission one shot
