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.
标准的英国文艺传记片。服化道满分，两位主演的表演满分（本尼本身就不说了，女主这些年演技着实见长）。整个画面也太美太舒服了，真是大爱维多利亚Era的调调，再加上导演的油画处理，每一帧都可以截图壁纸。Louis Wain笔下的猫猫真的是太太太可爱了，栩栩如生，马上就下单了一本国内出的精装书，而且也好适合做拼图。就是这部电影感觉更像电视电影，可能是叙事方式以及画幅的原因，btw，服化道可以冲奥么？
啊…就韩国偶像爱情电影。但允儿的造型太心动了
3.5 此次的角色彷彿像BC過往演過所有傳記片角色的集大成，集瘋狂與天才於一身，滿口電流理論立馬腦補到電流大戰（剛好荷蘭弟有演那部），影片甚至還特別採用4：3的畫幅呈現，服畫道極其精緻，影片前期非常英式浪漫，路易斯韋恩與妻子的結合隨著名叫peter的貓，便成為兩人的愛的結晶，隨著妻子的逝去，影片中後期便不斷在悲傷中循環著，只能不斷埋首於對貓的解構、貓的創作，來撫平對妻子的想念，債台高築、妹妹精神分裂，到最後自己也精神分裂了，用貓的插畫娛樂大眾，卻把悲傷的人生留給自己，收尾收在一個夢想之地，一個自己與妻子獨有的世外桃源。塔伊加維迪提和女洛基蘇菲亞迪馬蒂諾客串，陶比瓊斯和BC繼福爾摩斯後再次同台，很不想當三代同堂前暖身看卻又滿滿漫威宇宙暗示，BC跟Peter會不會太有緣，是巧合嗎？我不這麼認為。
一个鬼姐姐激励弟弟学习科学的奇异故事，以青春片开场，转传记片，转励志片，转救赎片，最后以奇怪的初吻主题曲再转回青春片，绝！
與日劇相比有小小失望，但能看到二人幸福快樂，仍然感覺良好。長崎篇比漫畫來得更少篇幅，見家長篇節奏上亦有小小怪，但都滿足到粉絲的心！
猫成为宠物就是因为这个人？
有点拖沓，插叙转折重复好几次就让人觉得啰嗦了，以至于说起来这个电影到底重点在哪里就不明显，但是我对朴正民和林允儿都有滤镜，好笑的地方真的好笑，结尾还哭了一下下。
过程挺拧巴的，还好结局是好的，允儿在剧中是男主的阳光阿这
呵呵就这？平淡无奇毫无新意不如现在去见你，这个导演的片来个量子化的人算是标配了；刚看完朴正民女装泰妖look紧接着看蠢蠢谈恋爱，有点意思欸
猫和狗的最大区别在于 猫的智商不高 所以营造出它们高冷不易接近人的形象 偏偏这就和忠厚通人性的狗形成强烈反差 人就是喜欢它们这样。猫的本质还是独居孤独喜欢困在自己世界里 路易斯韦恩恰好也是这种性格。这电影第一感动人的就是 韦恩他老婆临死前告诉他要和世界分享爱 封闭的韦恩就把猫那种闭塞不善交流的性格有意反过来地展现 所以他画出来的猫都是人性化有交流倾向的。仔细想想 把自己的爱人变美好去贡献世界 这就是最崇高的【大爱】了。另一处感动是最后那块夹在扎记的围巾 希望他以后别再受困于虚无的噩梦 自己死后化身一抹美丽的蓝守候他 这是只属于夫妻两人的【小爱】。两个人的感情超美 就像这电影的摄影一样。
7.9 人融入景以后幻化成了画，真美。ps：72届柏林的海报主体有没有一丝灵感借鉴了路易斯的中后期的猫咪轮廓。
本尼演outcast真的一绝 十分related 万分赞叹 跟S一起看俩人大概哭了一百回/u r the prism. Look, care, pay attention and share.
内核依旧是家庭温情的爱情轻喜剧，真实故事改编，韩国男演员的哭戏还是挺不错，有一定可看性。但个人还是更喜欢是枝裕和那版《奇迹》，也是有原型的儿童视角的故事设计，更感人。7分
我鹅的初恋感绝了，电影总体剧情通顺，主要是老婆太好看了
剧情没能产生强烈共情，却被父子两的演技打动。7分，林允儿戏份太少了。
隐藏在偏僻小村自建车站故事后面的家庭温情剧，家庭线特别是姐弟线感人饱满，但车站建设和男主的天才过程又太草率了，略拖沓。
姐姐：你想过我会陪你多长时间吗？为了你好，我一直都想离开。但是你知道为什么我还没走吗？我想让你笑着说：我要离开这里了。我一直在等。
看完其实很羡慕，活过，爱过，画过，有痛苦有快乐，却是灿烂的人生。
导演到底搞没搞清楚他到底要拍男主的才华，还是男女主的爱情，还是拍猫，没重点就什么也没。
喵的确只是配角,
