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.
冲着首页这么多四星去看的，看完太失望了，幼稚且俗套无聊，笑点也特别尴尬，不要有几个动物就扯疯狂动物城好吗？水准差了十条街，适合小朋友看，但是当下家长敢冒险带着去影院吗？
感觉大坏狼像狐狸尼克，跳舞那段真的感觉到有火花在蹦，喜欢。这对cp有点能磕到。
俗套没什么问题，令人不可容忍的是电影本身虚伪至极的价值观。道德观毫无灰色地带，人物的行为却是灰色的，“改邪归正”的罪犯可以将罪责推给反派而减轻刑罚/全身而退，却时刻抱怨自己被误解；剧作核心是“不要以貌取人”，却将“好”“坏”特质都写在人物脸上。
相当的无趣，众多的人物分散了笔墨，导致任何一个所谓坏蛋都不怎么讨喜也自然谈不到立起来，而故事又过于低龄，笑点也不够精彩，只能说是继卑鄙的我和破坏王之后又一个了无新意虚张声势的流水线行活伪反派电影
如果你有机会，请一定去电影院看看这部动画，不是说它不可错过，而是在此时此刻，2022年的春天，去电影院这件事儿，分外珍贵。
没想到继《疯狂动物城》我磕上兔子和狐狸的CP之后这么多年，我还能磕上狐狸和狼的CP，舞会那段儿真的绝了，我先磕为敬，您呢？
主角团好可爱，好久没在电影院看气氛这么好的电影大家都看的挺开心，有些地方有点动物城的影子，狐妹好帅哦，我爱狐狸州长🥰🥰
撕掉标签，杀死刻板印象，不要被定义。故事属于看一半就能猜到结尾，但一些细节处理的不错，显得趣味十足，开头很棒，后面还好收的及时，观感挺好的，尤其前半年这个电影环境来说挺好了。
用动画还原漫画，即便最终还是归于阖家欢的陈词滥调，风格质感上首先赢了。
动画效果可以, 但是内核超级无聊~~ 失望
三星半。可爱帅气轻松逗乐型。引进版给主角们起的中文名字比原版更有趣
WOLF与红爪
807@橙天嘉禾世纪汇 Viktor 陈木胜遗作。黑帮化警队vs制度化帮队，似乎是近年香港罪案动作片一种偏好，也映照正现实。节奏紧用光妙演技棒还有好几处迷影彩蛋，就算老套又露骨大银幕也过瘾。谢霆锋定格惹人尖叫！哈哈哈哈哈哈
在腾讯视频上观看这部《怒火.重案》的电影时，确实是一腔怒火，我明明购买了VIP会员，为什么还要花6元才能观看本片？请腾讯视频官方解释解释，所谓“VIP会员”仅仅是一张优惠券吗？
太可爱了！！虽然故事傻傻的，但是人物都太可爱了啊！！！
4.为了凸显甄子丹，又是那套独身闯入黑社会窝点大都，大街上飙车跳车打斗，超越了人体极限还不死，摔断了几根骨头贴几个创口贴就没事了……吐槽无力
就像他们自己开头说的一样，追车戏那段是全片最精彩的地方了
前面还不错，挺有意思的，后面觉得有些疲软，一看到豚鼠就猜到有反转。猜的太准就有点没劲了。歌挺好听，小孩子图一乐呵，还是比不过《疯狂动物城》。
僅從製作上來說，可以位居夢工場動畫中最時髦的動畫之一，三渲二部分的完成度可謂相當之高，幾段動作戲也是行雲流水乾淨利落。反刻板印象的故事比《瘋狂動物城》晚了整整6年，討論的深度也不及前者，而且對於動物角色的設定有些沒構建完善。美肚鯊作為一個男性角色，兩岸三地的中文配音版本中只有大陸找了女性配音，不知道是不是因為有女裝反串戲份不夠陽剛呢？
整体就是两个字：可爱！故事简单但是很可爱（我不过分追求逻辑性与现实感），从良的主人公们也好可爱，尤其是大灰狼，大长腿+西服让我想起我Brandon了，而且Sam的声音好苏……整部电影的视听都挺喜欢的，追车的动作戏真流畅，配乐也很适合。可能太久没在电影院看电影了，我真的很享受…就是不知道为什么坐后排的大哥睡着了，呼噜震天响。。
