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.
但没必要3D，虽然追车戏码还挺不错，但我还是不懂为什么要上3D，很多余。
看预告片的时候一直在思考到底是3d还是2d，没想到还是偏3d漫画风 画风简单但是镜头很有表现力（
2022映画第10部，4星。只有联盟、州长、反派是动物，其他都是人…… 这是分辨主要角色和路人角色的标准嘛🤔 不过也多亏这样可以不用记名字，大灰狼，食人鱼啥的完全就能交流剧情。
挺难看的，太太太套路了，智商很低。给CP加一星，确实好像鲁邦三世，峰不二子类坏女人是我喜欢的设定。
前面觉得是ocean 8 套了zootopia的皮。后面稍微有一点小巧思，看下来觉得还行。
是属于索伦蒂诺的「阿玛柯德」「天堂电影院」和「痛苦与荣耀」 印象最深的时刻是男孩走在喧闹操场时突然忍不住痛哭失声 最始料未及的崩溃有时不是发生在四下无人的夜深 而是眼睁睁看着周遭一切如常的热闹喧嚣 发现自己却再也无法拼凑回轰然倒塌的一角
开场第一个镜头就在全球影像竞争中拉开了距离，这是资本的力量。
一开始坏的表现不深刻。
朝中有人是多么重要，这么厚的案底，一年就出来了！
每当有导演想拍自己的经历的时候我大都觉得无聊，尤其是索伦蒂诺这样男性特质明显的。虽然他坦诚，但我不想听这些故事。
今年目前看得最愉快的院线电影，老套但快乐！听到奥卡菲娜的声音很难不想起O8😢
可以在很多商业片中找到的套路，可是这部就是把套路玩的很high。我好喜欢～～
酷。
走到五月才恍然意识到旧历开年来这还是第一次进百丽宫。深刻共情1930s的人们为什么那么痴迷好莱坞，现实已经如此凛冽，在银幕上就放肆笑吧。美式幽默开心到令人落泪，狐狸白切黑，灰狼黑切白，反派“救猫咪”理论。狼的魅力唤醒我BEASTARS时期痴迷雷格西的记忆。5.1（记得去年今日在成都不散看了《秘密访客》）
威尼斯主竞赛第四场，看到目前最喜欢的一部。索伦蒂诺的私人记忆，索伦蒂诺的那不勒斯，索伦蒂诺的笑与泪。怪不得索伦蒂诺会当《我的天才女友》的制片。听闻马拉多纳曾是索伦蒂诺的救命恩人，马拉多纳的溘然长逝大概就是索伦蒂诺拍这部电影的原因吧。
11.2 一直好奇索伦迪诺和马拉多纳到底有什么渊源，看完这部片子，终于忍不住查了一下才知道，原来这部片子里的情节是真实的。忽然原谅的了这部片子的情节有些散乱，因为人生本来就是那么的没有连续性，你永远不知道下一秒有什么会闯入你的生活，又有什么会离开。（所以是该看费里尼了吗？？？）
和希希在电影院看的又一场电影，但是更适合大人看，小孩在思维上不一定能够理解影片的主题……
心态be like☞嗯这个豚鼠一定是披着好人皮的坏蛋！☞噢原来不是，真正的阻碍原来在自己内部，预判了我的预判☞hell 原来我也没猜错，只是让套路延后了发生。既然没有精致的毛发渲染，就没必要3D了吧…
非常的简单流畅，欢乐，核心思想很传统（突破刻板印象，向善），反转都是定番，演出效果好所以不会让人厌倦。//人类和动物拟人如何共生共存的，不过很明显动物外形的就是故事主角。
1.致敬费力尼，致敬《阿玛柯德》，结尾主人公的离开亦是让人想起《浪荡儿》的最后一幕；2.如同每个人的青春一般，欢乐、迷惘、悲伤，情窦初开、死亡与离开，本作导演的青春亦是如此，在那不勒斯的美丽风光下，观众进入了一场旖旎的回忆之旅。
