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.
源自作者的疯狂幻想并用定格动画道具逼真的展现出来 在脑洞和手艺上都值得称赞 与其说是一部电影不如说是一种内心癫狂黑暗的映射 虽然没什么软用就是了 过于恶心-1星
杂乱昏暗的世界背景下充斥着各类畸形怪物，在大量定格模型的镜头下显得真实可怖，以一种先遣队探险式的路线走进下层布满惊恐无序压抑的环境中，看出了压榨掠夺和战争的反讽元素，但导演最终的核心没有能把握到。
可怕的梦魇，可怕的想象力

。。。用网文的思路去看顿时就好理解了，上古战争灭世，天魔横行奴役三界，为了推翻魔道人类不断派遣修士，结果被魔头挖出元婴，翻手间创世灭世（doge）
荒诞恐怖，但是依然给了高分，这种艺术对于人类而言还为时过早
220409 【C】士兵的探索之旅是一个很好的引导者的视角，弃用后的世界观展现就散乱了。竟然看到了3Atoys的药丸机器人作为布景出现，以及士兵的形象设计联想到了Underverse的新鼻子。
当然也可以简单的理解为
战争片段很星战，前半段黏糊糊的很下饭。。。剧情看的我似懂非懂
人类建立巴别塔，神对人类的冒犯降下惩罚，世界的纷争因此开始，我很难说明影片到底是想表达神明的腐朽邪恶给人类带来无尽折磨与恐惧，还是想表达人类的自作自受让自己陷入无尽战火与奴役之中。
预告挺惊艳，正片挺失望的，感觉导演没有在好好讲故事，想靠装逼猎奇来吸引观众但那特效和画面还不够装逼
这部片的风格，太符合我的系统了
涉及的元素太多所以显得很乱，仁者见仁智者见智，外星生物创造论，时间，宗教。
看了一会儿 没什么意思就玩手机了 听音乐听完的
太迷幻太重口了太爽了……虽然没太看懂但是大量的概念元素一股脑的表现出来像是喝了一口味道丰富有层次还上头的鸡尾酒
脑中闪过让皮埃尔热内和杨史梅云耶在黑绿色的下水道世界里低喃
【《疯神》到底在讲什么？-哔哩哔哩】 https://b23.tv/JyVIQOb
零散的看出一些隐喻，各种朋克风的末世设定很迷人
很概念艺术性的动画，感觉是短片加长版，不适合搞这种长度，分段可能好些。
你看到草扎小人的不幸，你以为自己可以置身度外；你被抓住并被解剖，你以为自己只是倒霉，但其实你自始至终都是生产链上的一环。
