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.
也是很久没有看这样的类型了（。如果现在不在quarantine/lockdown我可能会更喜欢but now it really makes me a bit claustrophobic and want some air（。
“我是哈尔滨的张谦，小兔崽子！”“我们55分”“谁拿5？”哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈笑不活了。整体还是第一部的套路，但反派没有张谦塑造的完整个性。虽然也有搞笑，有点人情味，但比第一部还是弱了点。整体还是保持了1的水准。
所有故事发生在一个裁缝店里，结尾还小小的反转了下，算是不错的小成本黑帮剧情片。
老裁缝“不简单”得太明显，不过整个氛围很喜欢。
一个场景一部电影，全靠精湛的演技和充满反转的剧本，非常棒
还是和第一部一样的毛病，警察不用枪，全靠拳头解决，哪怕对面拿刀拿斧头也是一样拳头硬刚。
全片最好的段子是：“我们五五分吧？”“谁拿五啊？”
被评分骗了，在剧本上的意外性一点都不强，范做得很足，最大的毛病是黑帮的人都太轻信太好说话了，这有一种单线程被剧情推着走的感觉。结尾我感觉毫无道理，比不上前面任何一场戏。台词不错，就是这种有戏的范。和最近另一部X在某些剪辑上的操作很相像，同时也让我跳到了优雅的英式老派风度是如何碾压现代美国的指代上（与X刚好相反）。
3.5 话剧式格调，站位走线也相当讲究，转中转没吃到，陈年老醋或许多泡泡才有味~
马东锡一掌超人宇宙又一续作。观感上没有上一部暴力，其他元素都差不多。如果上一部尚且还对马东锡的能力有质疑，觉得东北张全蛋可以一战，这一作熟悉了套路就没啥悬念了，设定里他是无敌的，不仅力量点满，敏捷度其实也极高。我觉得这个系列如果没有进一步升级来个百人斩之类的差不多就不用拍了，可以参考一下印尼的突袭。
英伦，绅士，西装，犯罪。懂了这是Kingsman
不是完成度高，能大体自圆其说的片就能得高分。想衬托男主牛逼，得给他配个不可能战胜的对手，不可能逃生的处境。密室类型故事，单一场景戏，应该把男主栓屋里，逃不出去，他的反抗才精彩，但本片没有这一设定。本片男主是在自己的主场作战，隐藏自己的过往实力，扮猪吃老虎。他面对的对手都很俗套刻板，没有压迫感，根本没有反派魅力的设定。他赢了，一切在他的控制之中，爽。但是假，无力，没后劲儿。用巧合来转折叙事，不高明。对白交代剧情，不可信，欠缺画面的真实感和说服力。除了开头的快速剪辑，其余电影技法一般。这种爆米花片，第一次看，确实吸引人，但没有重复看的欲望和再看的趣味。
最近影院观影感受最佳 主要是因为没什么包袱只是想讲故事 非常适合想我这种因为想周六看电影所以胡乱选了一个对内容啥都不知道的人来看
风格，才是这类影片的出头之日。否则就是鸡肋，食之无味，弃之可惜。
剧情算屁啊！马东锡一拳一个疯批就是正义的制裁！打完罪犯还要对围观群众道歉真是哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！爽片还是要看正义铁拳马东锡！
剧作过于刻意。单论爽度，最后几分钟装逼时刻还是够味的，不够看。马克里朗斯和霍普金斯的体态还有台词都如出一辙，都很优雅，里朗斯甚至赢在露脸少，多了一份新鲜感，神秘感
但其他倒也没什么新鲜的。韩国人说话又碎又细，叨叨的而且效率很低，骂人也就是西八西八个不停，歹徒发狠总给我一种同一个模子刻出来的感觉。
和凯特温丝莱特的《裁女佳人》相得益彰，推荐观看。减一星是因为Dylan O'brien演技掉线，配角都个个出彩，唯独少爷这个角色太弱了
爽到我了！小成本封闭空间戏，几次反转都极其合理，情节走向贴近期待视野，但马克·里朗斯的影帝级表演着实超出预期。相比于黑帮电影更偏向悬疑，在紧张感爆棚的同时还不失英国人式优雅矜持的气质，精彩。
各色反派轮番出场揍人挨揍如同NPC，无一有前作光头东北混子般的人物张力。插科打诨的桥段依然让人怀念港片。
