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.
不知道为啥评分这么低啊？好看的很！深具教育意义：天下没有免费的炮！莫纳汉前途一片光明！
因为部分镜头的不可描述而小小满足…

220222@ btnull 有钱人的世界确实不懂
好套路的剧情 看开头就能猜到结尾那种 要不是卡梅隆估计也就不会看这片了
三星半，创意不错，就是剧情上想法太多了，就会有点乱。
并未出现《Gomorra》类似的风格，略失望。
Noomi 的动作片从未让我失望过。这部虚拟战争背景的影片，没有正面硬刚或者谍战的桥段。冰冷结冰的湖面上，士兵决心完成最关键的任务来结束战争。冻结的冰面变数多端，就好似暗喻了这场任务的不确定性。队员因为意外落水，组员间的互相不信任，发现任务的真实秘密后内心产生的动摇。到基地前的那段都很好看。最让人震撼的是无辜市民遭殃最后冻结在湖面的场景，令人心酸。最后到基地的15分钟剧情就有些狗血了。总体观感还是很不错的
不相信男主是做安保设计的？生活居然完全不设防。带陌生女人回家随便告诉密码，老婆取走了银行的债券也不知道。更奇葩的是，在别人想去银行取债券的时候，居然说必须要大拇指指纹！无语
这是双方强行降智演绎的吗?停车场跳车是导演还是编剧被驴踢了???
世界末日题材的女兵片。冰上滑行漂亮，几个短促的枪击场面也挺震撼的，女主漂亮，故事老套。其他么，没有其他了。就是冰上滑行的画面漂亮，如果二刷就只看冰上部分。
约翰马尔科维奇和弗兰克·格里罗都是配角，女主莉莉.库拉格性感，表演不错。
疫情，被关在家一周，看这个电影觉得意境很棒
女主太太太美了！！！金发小甜心！！！好漂亮好甜！！！剧情是真的不咋样，但有这么美的女主其它的都可以忽略哈哈哈，谢谢这部电影让我看到这么漂亮可爱的女主，有几颗星就给几颗星🥰女主妈妈是德国女演员Veronica Ferres，她长得像她妈妈，美丽优雅🥰
如果只有頭90分鐘，本片是娛樂加強版「千驚萬險」，但始料不及的是高潮戲碼，一下子提昇到人文層次。
前妻偷偷转移婚内财产弄拙成巧拯救前夫于仙人跳
全程为男主拥有的花哨的高科技保安系统捉急，感觉拥有了男主的手机，就拥有了一切。男主这么有科技智慧的人，居然就没有给自己留个系统后门儿……最后拯救全家居然靠女儿这未成年个小女孩举枪杀人，这编剧我也是服了。
编剧是不是对MIT有啥偏见？搞计算机技术的就这？bug太多，剧情太好猜
女主最后十分钟人设急剧变化 前期杀人不眨眼的美艳食人花就因为同伴几句话转头杀了自己的帮手？临死之前还流下了泪…既然人设是心理不正常的女人 怎么会出现这种镜头…想政治正确也改得自洽点吧…为女主多给一星
女主很好看，身材也很好，比一般电影里的女主看着顺眼，剧情很安静，总共没几个人
