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.
情节真的很俗套啦，但是哭的我脑子疼......恋爱的情节太悲苦，子弹里捡糖吃......让我找到活下去的意义的那个人却先一步离开了，为什么偏偏是你？为什么偏偏是我？
3.5🌟不到4，豆瓣7还算中肯，藤井的镜头语言很美很清新，这个毋庸置疑。日式温吞，重气氛而轻剧情，如同一个加长MV。不过最后半小时还是泪目了。整体因为绝症设置让人唏嘘，占了题材的光吧。
可以算be美学天花板了吧，剧情虽然老土又狗血，但扛不住男女主哭得一把鼻涕一把泪的煽情啊!
终于 看完了 是我最喜欢的两位霓虹国演员 感觉是nana演技最好的一部 但这不妨碍我觉得剧情只值三颗星…对绝症病人的心理描写有点太流于表面了吧 反正没触动到我
可是不后悔遇见你
不知道怎么评价比较好，但确实是个好电影。整个剧情都很平静没有大吵大闹，女主拯救了男主，男主也拯救了女主。女主死亡处理的很平静直接越过了死亡画面，女主终究是没能活到自己的小说出版
男女主演技很一般，看完之后就觉得，日系的这种故事真的很多，到现在还在拍这种满大街都是的故事，可以说是俗透了。一分给原作背景故事的人情分，一分给樱花树。（拍的很好，下次改拍MV吧，也好过让人承受裹脚布剧情～）
整体还行 中规中矩的日系纯爱片 主演演技也没拉垮 多一颗星给私心坂口小天使～
低沉的情感贯穿整部电影，剩下10年的生命，找到属于自己的美好
俗套又拖沓，我小学的时候会为一公升的眼泪和在世界中心呼唤爱痛哭流涕，不代表这把年纪了还会被死人纯爱骗走眼泪。
小松菜奈演技有提升。但她还是更适合演变态女高中生。
Gabriel & Lucifer
有时间流逝 有亲人朋友 有陪伴日常
整体虽然没有毛骨悚然的氛围和沉浸式的恐惧，但是那种典型八九十年代B级邪典片的怪物设定和尸横遍野的杀戮让人格外兴奋，也许对于悬疑和恐怖方面不同于以往的《电锯系列》和《招魂》，不过单从视听来说可谓是一场盛宴。
记录生活还是必要的，无论是影像还是文字，为自己也是为那些记得自己的人。
像摊煎饼果子一样将恐怖类型正面反面来回煎，薄脆葱花辣椒酱，以惊声尖叫的脸为圆心画一个惊声尖笑的360度旋转木马。无论是一星五星短评的battle，还是骂看未删减资源影迷恶臭并流下酸腐眼泪的傻逼资本家，都比电影本身更精彩。
似乎看了很多遍的剧情给三星
三星半，nana的演技终于有所提升。节奏一般，冲着感情线来的可惜拍的也很普通，哎，果然生离死别的爱情最能打动人。
前期铺垫太多，给了太多期待，真正看到比较平淡。十年好像很长好像很短，长到我们会分离，短到无法实现梦中的场景。
一开始我以为 达里奥·阿基多，而后渐渐搞起了《姐妹情仇》《孽扣》那一套。咦……那是奇洛教授？被大开杀戒的异形嗨爽了！玩到最后原来是《冰雪奇缘》~
