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.
虽然后面确实爽到了
这个系列到了这一部已经成了“为了反转而公式化反转”、“为了贴题而强行煽情上价值”的大烂片了。本身剧情设定上就毫无亮点了，它还“创新”性分角色段落式地去剪辑影片，不仅内容重复（观影疲劳），且故事的连续性也断了，更别提那点稀罕的悬疑感了。归根到底还是剧本太烂，主演表演方式固定化，最后本该是高智商的大反派硬生生被演成了没智商的神经病，也是绝了。如果剧本没啥创新的话，这个系列就砍了吧，要不然拍再多续集也还是狗尾续貂。（BTW，飞蛾扑火是中国谚语！）
最后逆转KO前面 这次是这个系列不一样的地方
是谁，在电影开始不到一分钟就开始颧骨升天？哦，是我。剧情怎么说呢，基本把目前为止漫画的主线（更确切的说法是主要剧情）都给拍出来了，但漫画后期（安达失去魔法之后）的主线本来就是硬伤，过于零碎，并没有一个足以支撑电影的起承转合，用来磕糖或舔颜来说足够，但以电影来讲，它真的不够好。不过我还是给了五星，因为一直以来我从cherry magic感受到的细腻的温暖和快乐太珍贵了，且好似源源不断取之不竭。
布的局挺大的，但是翻来覆去还是流程化的反转，引起了极度的审美疲劳，在行骗手法上创新太少了
熟悉的套路、没有意外的反转、全员皆演员，但我还是愿意为达子买单！
比较粉丝向，虽然赤楚还是很可爱但中间一度快睡着
这一部明显比之前的好很多，可能是因为大家都降智，时间线插叙，让我没第一时间理清楚的原因//恭喜这个系列电影从悬疑解密转型成信任和爱的主题了//原来杰西和star的演员已经……哎，RIP//就是反派塑造不行，一出场知道这是鱼了，骗什么都不如骗观众
骗局最天衣无缝、最出人意料的一部，充分诠释了什么叫“道高一尺，魔高一丈”，希望此片能作为终结篇而存在。PS：濑户康史在里头真是亮爆全场，苏到不行。
好玩还是好玩的，但是逻辑已经越来越不能自恰了，为了戏剧冲突而强行反转。
有种被强行投喂糖果外加人生清醒言论的感觉。然后或许是因为换到了大屏幕就效果很emmm…但是还是有一种圆梦的感动诶～或许是因为知道现实生活中事不如意十八九吧。希望平行世界的他们可以永远这么幸福下去～然后想感谢电影让今天显得格外美好～
虽然……但是……这个系列每次能圆回来就还行，反正都是闹着玩，够欢乐就好。
感觉就是拍给粉丝看的圈钱片 糖都发了也很甜 剧情上真的觉得有些可惜吧 不能称之为电影
再见，三浦春马。电影再一次让我记得爱过你。
看完啦！安達真的好可愛好可愛🍒衝首映果然是對的 維持了劇版的高水準 但結尾感覺有點怪 希望是為第二季做準備或是鋪墊
赤星：一天不被达子骗，难受一天。
几年一度的日影爱好者狂欢。请继续拍，一直拍。只要里面的熟脸们还在营业，我的青春就好像还没散场。
有前两部的铺垫之后，看这电影都不用担心了。反正女主这么聪明，一定能化险为夷的。
虽然出了还是会看，但是确实有点审美疲劳了，而且日式鸡汤太多尤其影响这种风格的节奏。東出的小少爷一直在赎罪的人设中，不知是不是与其人现实生活连结，但東出的小少爷已经没有昔日的精气神了。富士和东宝花那么多钱海外取景不知道是不是还有得赚，但这个系列真的到了见好就收有終之美的时候了。
剧情好暖，虽然没有剧那么好笑但是细节很打动人。而且登坛太香了，太恩爱了，太甜了，看了以后就是被灌了迷魂汤的程度。这辈子还会有后续吗。。没有也没事。还有拿过接力棒的后起之秀！！！
