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.
又一部阳光温情电影！😆 虽然JR他爸始终是个混蛋，但幸运的是其他人人都好好！
2022.1.30 1.5韩国上映 1.28就上线了！太快了吧 因为寄生虫的关系对崔宇植蛮有好感的 还有赵震雄 厉害 我只能说这片设计的是真的精妙 源于优秀的故事原著 以及完美的剧本 故事真是异常的精彩 只是不知道为啥豆瓣评分会越来越低..这样优秀的佳作7.5分起码的吧。。但我也没完全看懂 毕竟我现在理解能力大不如前了 崔宇植是真的帅没想到他和赵震雄搭档的居然这么默契 简单说就是一个靠外部黑帮提供所谓的“赞助金”位于灰色地带的警察 屡次立功被监察部门盯上了让男主调到他的部门去监视他 但中间突然被监察部门抓去审问 就被组里的成员发现了孤立他(他是男主爸爸之前的手下) 他们有个组织就是依靠赞助商提供的钱去抓犯人 但后面发展成了一个腐败组织 最后通过钓鱼执法抓到了一笔大的毒品走私
George Clooney跟意大利呆着不好吗，拍这玩意儿是为了给放假放个假吗？
差点就因为评分错过了这部电影。一部真实的电影，没有把考上耶鲁当作戏剧高潮，没有把暴打混账老爹当作救赎，也没有任何明显的结局，但我就是感受到了那股淡淡的温情，一种破茧而生的力量。从混沌中一下子找到了自己的路，重点不是那条路通向某个城堡或王座，而是找到了那条路，并且开始慢慢的走，欣赏起两边的风景。而现实中，我们经常给自己定下目标，不问自己内心是否真的想要那个目标，是否值得心无旁骛的去追赶以至于错过了很多普通又平凡的风景。真的现在目标之处时，突然感到空虚，而脑海里浮现的确是一些普通而美好的画面。
3星。合格的韩国犯罪片，不算原创，但基本把握住了原创的核心
这啥啊 演员大多是熟脸 但拍出来的是啥玩意儿啊 。 男主突然心态转变得好僵硬 一点都不能说服我 全程没有爆点
果然黑吃黑
影片虽然平淡，但各个角色都演的很真实。最重要的是，隐隐中看到自己的童年，虽然并不算富裕，但家人给予的温暖却永远伴随。
质量其实比三星高，强于绝大部分国产垃圾。只是在警匪的类型里没能延展出新意。
不冷不热的警界“无间道”片长又太自信120分钟，有些搂不住。用这个片子来说明，没有女主角真的很丢分！
温暖又有质感的回忆录电影，成长是永恒不变的主题。
寡淡松散，堆砌时代感和说教的表象符号，让整个故事完全找不到重心。小时候的演员选的太精灵了，反而不符合这个破败不堪的混杂家庭的感觉
犯罪黑警组织片。一个联合了很多警方人员的秘密组织，他们通过与一些犯罪组织交易获取高额利润，有的人利用这些前自行享受，有的却用这个钱去抓更坏的坏人，用途不同，立场不同，正与邪也不尽相同
太过平淡的电影，冲着大本去看，全片没有高潮，寡淡无味。
感觉观感取决于个人家庭经历…对于有类似经历的还是非常有共情的
Uncle Charlie简直是Uncle Charming!!!
真的是很温柔的酒吧啊，没有人能拒绝温柔大本舅舅！
游走在边缘的灰警的故事。
本该刺激的剧情被拍得如此不刺激。
本阿弗莱克做制片和编剧是很可以的，但非要跑去演戏。大家是对的。
