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.

真正的文化交流电影，本片试图去还原“王子复仇记”最原始的历史起源，但在创作过程中却也参考了很多后世根据这一历史改编创作出的其他作品。
年度十佳预定✅
故事中最带感的冲突点是男主妈这个角色，妮可基德曼飙戏看得很爽，加一星。
i expected crazier....
看的时候其实我一直在思考这个镜头是怎么拍出来的或者这个化妆好逼真
内容远远大于形式，听力不过关的我可能只懂一半的内容；但转念一想，貌似再好也不过titane
在凝滞的奇观仪式中展露世界，甚至说这种推进吸收了NWR的神韵，谁能说二人随手拿出电钻头不是泰国警察从T恤里拔出砍刀呢。
裸体午餐和欲望号快车的混合，这个概念我太爱了，虽然早有预料但还是意外的色情。柯南伯格快要走到极致了，真是爽啊，真是大快人心
万事万物皆可以成为艺术品。包括痛感、性与创伤。黑暗不是生活的重复，猎奇不是故事的本质。阶层也好，隐喻也罢，都在一次次切割中被人们的想象力所收纳。相较于《钛》，我们从柯南伯格的文本中看见了底蕴，而非一味猎奇，给出一个个虚无的概念。绝非只为营造噱头，而不顾来龙去脉。仍是去年看《钛》时的感想，创作出一部作品，给出一个很大的噱头、用十分超于常态的故事去包裹空洞的内核其实是非常容易的一件事，但是要用更深刻、更有底蕴的背景来支撑你的花哨与夸张，却是非常困难的一件事。柯南伯格可以兼顾，显然迪库诺则不能，她只是表达了表象，夸张的想法人人都有，深刻的文化底蕴却并非人人皆有。本片的底蕴并非直接呈现于文本之中，但不代表其内容空洞。空洞的只是想象力，而非创作者给予的信息。
虽然每一次的行为艺术更像是掺杂着欲望的变体，但感觉重口程度也不如钛看着疼，也没有钛的表现手法那般直白。加了很多的概念，像是在谈哲学，但是完全不懂哲学的人看这个片无疑是对牛弹琴即视感。

故事上当然还是和哈姆雷特、狮子王、黑豹、巴霍巴利、夜宴、凯斯宾王子、沙丘等新旧王子复仇的故事大同小异，但本片却以北欧神话和民间巫术等地方色彩为这个故事增添了很多灵性。从神话的角度去重现一段古老的历史，这样的艺术创作也使得让一个在现代看来很枯燥乏味的老故事变得微妙而神秘。
是活下去，那反抗组织就是真相，而小黑就是谎言。
就很普通，普通到……没啥记忆点……emmmm…视觉风格算是个记忆点吧
1.5 / 倒也勉强能放到艾格斯重述传说故事的脉络里去。只不过完全没有前两部那种重构语气的决心，而只有改个情节然后吼些一句话意图的表层罢了。以及建议男一男二的片段单独剪个片子吧，不需要全程假高潮地搞这么冗长靴靴。
you would be my new king, Amleth”
全无风格，剧作差劲，配乐俗不可耐，亚历山大成了僵尸演员，比起来还不如《日出英烈祠》～也许导演压根不是明日之星，之前走运罢了，后面一次比一次差
PS:好像理解了该片……又好像没理解😂😂😂但是要我去看什么解说又是万万不能的……所以就当自己看懂了吧，哈哈哈
