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.
没看过，但我就要打一星，因为作者是个傻逼。
妈的，项氏电影简直就是业界良心，都给我看！
2比1好看啊。特效啥的进步了不止一星半点，女主好飒好帅气！总体还行，比较好看。
虽然BUG不少，不过在国产片里算能看的了。
6.0 女主长得很像安以轩。 感觉起承转合有点潦草 所以故事每个部分之间没有粘合性 不能够一直吸引注意力 。 这个小水怪感觉还可以 最后杀完人抱着头坐在石墩上这一幕害挺逗。确实，小水怪最后的死像是强行政治正确，应该是自由自在的生活在了水里比较好。
还不错，道具精致，剧本扎实，算是高配网大了。
要不是车祸，男主连一个抱着箱子的小偷都抓不住。 这剧情厉害，顶级战力带着其他学生去找炸弹、帮路人撤退；三个学生去敌人老巢打群架。 男主为啥不先打掉墙上激光枪，本来爬起来都难，结果爆发还打赢了敌人的反弹？ 最后那爆发很像一拳超人，打得那么艰难最后一个敌人都没打死全部抓去监狱了。
我也不知我在看些啥 但是我知道女主角是“亲爱的热爱的”里的艾情
剧情比第一部好太多了，但是还是很一般。。
开始那几分钟吓的我把平板都丢了，妈惹太可怕了！看到后面就……呃，有时候人性才是最可怕的。
设定OK……
我来找弟弟，莫急莫急，我来找弟弟，莫急莫急，我来找弟弟……莫急莫急……墨迹你妹啊，你妹啊……

怪力乱神可怕，人心叵测更可怕！
惊悚片系列电影，整部电影的氛围烘托的蛮不错的，阴森潮湿的村落，人们很闭塞，被村长和一个所谓的九叔公忽悠，将大人的死亡，和孩子的失踪归于一个水怪传说，其实人吓人才是真可怕，很多事情是人为的。最终真相大白，村落恢复平静，对于国产电影来说，总体还是不错的。
剧情实在太弱，但叙事还算流畅，没太多吐槽的地方，结尾过度煽情比较没意思。整部戏唯一的亮点就是女主角演技还是不错的，埋没的人才。
作为国产恐怖片，氛围营造不错，故事有头有尾，算及格了
值得一看。 悬疑，推理，过程精彩。 一步一步的逼近真相。 江湖混子，抓了孩子，蛊惑了镇上的人，杀了无辜的人。这一切，都是镇长和九叔公所为。 水猴子居然是家佳的亲弟弟，养父的弟弟被亲弟弟所杀，得知身世的家佳内心痛苦。 亲弟弟也为了救孩子，牺牲了自己。 水猴子并不可怕，可怕的是那两个江湖混子。
对于网剧恐怖片来说，如此还算精良的布景，还算合理的剧情、还算紧凑的剪辑，是难能可贵的。
所以 又觉醒了 别一种 个性吗 ？！
