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.
用蛮力和顽固对抗倾泻而来的意外苦难与强大势力，以及无法对话的世界，如何？有生命力而不堪一击。因而感到怆然。实打实的三星，篇幅分配让人疲惫，最后简直像保险广告。一星给挨了这么多揍和保持情绪的公主，下次有个更好的剧本就好了。
我不理解爸爸这种赌马赌到倾家荡产的人设为什么可以洗得好像这一切都不是他的错一样
关冰箱、关门镜头的BGM欲擒故纵，是恐怖片导演的自我嘲解。“not today”权游梗玩得很灵活，哈哈。
完美的韩国商业片，女主最后的推土机奋起真的帅呆了，底层确实就是悲哀的。
这种有一点边缘和极端的角色金惠允发挥得不错…故事老套，新在标题上。最后结局有点狗尾续貂，不如停在枪声还能留有余韵，我理解为是为了上院线的一些（ ）妥协。
达妹美得耀眼，特别是看我时的眼神，我都要化了，英国的风景拍得比现实还美，特别是海边，那个跳下来的台似乎四个版本都是同一个地点拍的？音乐和摄影风格也是现代romance，这个改编倒是让Mr. Elliot特别迷人，可惜男主角改得和演得完全没存在感，就是他傲娇的脾气才让他在原著中迷人呀！纯属现代同人文吧，奥斯汀味比前面几版差远了，但是，还是对拍了这部心存感激。
男主好丑🥲如果没有简奥斯汀的加持这就是一个再普通不过的玛丽苏言情
我以为女主不会蠢到手机录音没有备份就去找社长对峙，但我错了，女主忽高忽低的智商真的让我着急，还有韩国警察也是sb脑袋有坑，非要开枪打女主才可以吗，直接爬上推土机给女主抓下来不就得了，那么大块头对付一个十几岁小姑娘还需要用枪
我不想再看这样zzzq的了，而且都ooc了，再看 07版洗洗眼
看了评论有点懵，首先他们一家的饭馆就是会长当初给他们使用的，只是口头承诺会给用十几二十年，所以女孩父亲就自己贷款加盖了二楼，现在会长没有在承诺的期限要收回房产改建高尔夫球场，所以女主爸爸就去理论，接着就抢车发生了车祸，我个人觉得会长没有那么坏，前提还好心帮助他们一家，可是女主父亲自己嗜赌成性，导致家庭困难，员工工资也欠，再说女主本身就是不良少女，影片有个细节，就是女主每次想施暴的时候就会露出纹身，一方面是想吓唬别人，另一面可能给自己增加勇气，影片中没有绝对的坏人，而女主一家也不是像大家评论的弱势群体吧
铁三角痛失其一，而且死法非常愚蠢，无语。亮点依旧在对恐怖片套路的吐槽，但故事发展基本没啥逻辑可言，不带脑子地看个情怀也看了个寂寞。
PS:即使身经百战，尖刀爆颈死的画面还是蛮有冲击力的……
《Babadook》《It Follows》《Hereditary》……命硬老妹恐怖片品味了得；本片严格遵守赔命守则；爆头官宣第三幕；虽然没有火焰喷射器，但薪火相传是真的很大火；F$ck Elevated Horror！For Wes！真爱粉丝致敬作，有被感动到
虽然是第五集，但基本上是类似去年的捉鬼敢死队、黑客帝国，就是多年后对最原始一集的致敬，炒冷饭。有新一代演员加盟，但老演员也都回归。要说这个系列真的算最早期一批大女主逃生电影，随着时代变迁，这一集的变化是，女性角色变更多，但是不尖叫了，而是个个都很凶狠。而且个人觉得这次更血腥、疯狂，有一些情节各种卖关子，也有一些意想不到的角色死掉。
女主很漂亮改编得很欢快尤其是尴尬接踵而来绅士淑女的调情真的很聪明 争论女人拥有更长久的爱情或者这份长久的爱情是最终的归宿有点让人大跌眼镜 路易莎按现在的标准会被认为绿茶但是实在可怜在昏迷的情况下被订婚 完满的结局注定不如悲剧更能回味悠长 原本欲言又止命运捉弄的矜持自尊被冲淡成白开水了
不太忠于原著，把Anne给改成更符合当代“剩”女的戏谑样，连对二号男主的讽刺也少了很多
最差的一部，不仅仅是凶手毫无悬念，而且每一个死的都毫无感情，并且死得毫无新意。演技和台词更加倒胃口。连最不入流的jump scare都没有。。。
正视历史时间线，别再在这种题材里插政治正确了，五颜六色的演员等于出戏
并不觉得这个改编有什么不妥。无论古代当代，女性情感生活的困扰其实都一样。奥斯汀的最后一部小说，但现在都21世纪了，能换个口味去演绎这个悲伤故事也蛮不错，其中也渗出了不少奥斯汀式的幽默和讽刺
光天化日之下在外面死了个人这么长时间一点动静都没有，警察还在赶来的路上，她儿子一点防范心都没有。 按照时间线设定，她应该在第四部的时候就有孩子了，看人物设定估计还是单亲家庭，角色死的太草率了，两人都像是去故意送人头一样，车里应该有备用的枪才对，应该拿着枪跑，被刺了开枪引起周围居民和她儿子的注意才对。
