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.
感觉一般，朋友倒是看得挺感动，说有几个点戳中了当妈妈的她。
这打斗场景比TV版强了好多，结尾三人三枪互相角力的动作设计好惊艳，西门仁的枪剑功夫也好神奇，这两种武器的配合从没听说过，但是真的太绝了，他的枪和剑也都好看，云雷戟也好酷。这部剧场版就国漫武侠打斗来说应该是天花板了，雾山五行也只是强在故事设定上。
坚持贯彻扫黑除恶政策。。。（动作设计的不错）
母女线是蛮好的 虽然有点过（有人说它朴实 我觉得还是煽得有点多）感觉这对夫妻不是一路人 也看不出是什么让二人走到一起 很多台词都蛮戳人的 “我的梦想就是在这里每天伺候你们？”“你还是没有把这里当作你的家是不是？”“绕了一大圈又回到了原点。”“妈妈的脆弱也是我的脆弱，妈妈的恐惧也将令我恐惧。” 我是我母亲的一切
加长版的番，临清人狂喜。和之前的番的效果一样，动效好，剧本相对薄弱一些。不知道主创团队有没有把这部影片出海的计划。如果有就好了。
片尾曲还是一如既往的好听呀！期待枕刀歌第二季！
母亲说：如果我女儿因为考倒数第一名，就没有人愿意和她做朋友，那么我宁愿她不要有这样的朋友。
优秀。动画动作第一，别说那些玄幻奇幻法术修仙的～
4他就是想排挤包括漕帮在内的其他势力，让自己成为临清社会经济的实际控制者，遇到乱世就割据一方，甚至以临清为大本营逐鹿天下。基于这样的目的，他都已经把临清当做自己的家业了，自然希望自己的势力范围内社会安定、经济兴旺（。天天这样说，这样做，他当然要为自己的行为赋予更高的意义和合理性。
好看的国漫作品，剧情扎实、打戏够燃、人物塑造丰满且有记忆度，画风粗狂和题材相配，给人观感还挺惊喜的
西门一死，喽啰倒戈，簇拥新主，最后一幕定格在罗通脸上的茫然和无免戟的鲜血，就真的很有意思。本子有很多地方确实需要再三打磨，但绝不认同写的没脑子拉胯。
7.5分。电影是完整的，但是不够吸引人。很生活化的一部电影，让人感觉就像是发生在身边的事情一样，这点好评！
动作和画面依旧优秀，只是放到一个电影时长里就有些审美疲劳了，故事略显薄弱了，或者说没有特别出彩的配角。
还是有点“小家子气”了，和剧版一样，只在乎作者个人意志的表达，电影不是文学。三星半
瑕疵明显，但可圈可点之处也不少，算是未来可期吧。
多好的戏剧冲突环境和背景，但走着走着冲突全都莫名其妙化解了，非典在故事中除了出租车司机的嫌弃，完全没有什么意义，换任何疾病都可以，演讲比赛也没什么下文，文化冲突也没有特别值得提点的地方，导演很刻意避免落俗套了
很真实很真实真的很真实的一种家庭状况，那种母亲永远在为一切一切事情担心，而父亲长期的缺席，突然爆发的一些事情，就会击垮整个家庭。癌症移民非典特殊时期，家庭关系最后详细到夫妻关系亲子关系，面对截然不同的生活，作为还在成长中的孩子，敏感脆弱抱怨想逃离，母亲的懦弱让我懦弱，母亲像个镜子，她的无时无刻的消极，让整个家庭摇摇欲坠。
年初第一部，武戏很满足，文戏最后一个镜头的惊悚感很好
看完《美國女孩》了，相比《瀑布》还是更喜欢这一部。鍾孟宏的《瀑布》太风格化，镜头的角度太犀利，不是说这样不好，但两部同样都是在疫情之下（时空不同）讲述亲情故事的电影显然用太独特的作者视听去叙事，其带给观众的情感冲击没有《美國女孩》这样慢条斯理、稳扎稳打的叙事影响大。而且本片不仅描述了亲情，它还会带上地域文化的对比、女孩成长过程中的烦恼以及母女关系的破裂到和解，让我感同身受。但第三幕中双方情绪的转变还是太突然太快了，我认为不能算是佳作，今年的金馬獎其实都蛮失望的。
枕刀歌13=特别篇上：时间（当年的真相。“千历三十八年”，那就是万历年间呗，时空背景明确了。）
