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.
就感觉 演员整体都选小了一个size… 不是尺寸上的… 奈绪一定能拿演员奖的
没看过原著。不过挺喜欢电影里的意境和念白式的推进。徒劳，無駄，一个是岛村先生的用词，一个是驹子的用词，一个用局外人的眼光看，一个从局中人的角度看，但意思都一样。我很爱你，我为你做了那么多，可是有什么用，有人依然会死，有人如期离去，独剩那个依然有所期盼的女子，在雪中等待。
拍出了文本特有的虚无感 奈绪的驹子过于抢眼 相较之下高桥一生和森田望智的叶子入不了戏 失败的共演
徒劳，都是徒劳。奈绪偶尔像苍井优，高桥的泡面卷发偶尔像bg的蔷薇头。
一共700多頁的原著濃縮成兩個多小時的電影，導演把觀眾想看的都留下來了：土方近藤總司三人的牽絆、土方和お雪的牽絆、松平容保的無可奈何和幕末的動盪刻。但對於歷史愛好者而言可能還是不夠深刻，受限於時長的關係，有點流水帳了。值得一提的是電影開頭的石板路是有意義的，要看到最後才知道。五星給三人組、松平容保和山崎烝。
恐怖片？进度条过半都没个恐怖氛围，最后也就几个血腥的场面。桃李年华花羡兮的题材挺好的，拍的太垃圾了。
稀巴烂！稀巴烂是一种怎样的烂，就是连尖酸刻薄的俏皮话都懒得说的烂，又蠢又恶心
用实线描写命运 也是种「徒劳」
看电影之前对新选组历史了解不多的可能很难看懂，于是变成了边看边补知识了，剧情不是特别喜欢，有的地方发展太仓促了，不过演员还挺不错的，冈田准一还是一如既往地出色，山田凉介这次表现着实令人惊艳，冲田总司真的很贴角色
徒劳，一切都是徒劳。可是只有把这一切的徒劳与无功而返经历完，才能从人生游戏退场吧。
出众的依然是气质和风格本身，也在各种地方“加料”仿佛做贼心虚地害怕有人计较故事的薄弱。弥漫的情欲想象以及大胆先声的表达自然首当其冲，提供老旧的艾薇复刻也试图做出别样的气质吸引；但这样的感觉依然浮于对感官最直接的冲击，还是没有体察到它更进一步的精妙。知晓Mia Goth和前传也一并完成，对之中的世界蔓延兴趣；也是没想到我雪竟然还能被委任这样重要的部分，美惨了。
A24三件宝：诡异的动物，爆掉的脑袋和衰老的肉体。
这一切的背后，究竟是道德的沦丧，还是人性的缺失？是性的爆发还是饥渴的无奈？让我们一起跟随镜头，走进变态奶奶的内心世界。
按电视电影的标准可以还是给个及格分的，奈绪真的很苍井优很像啊，高桥烫个姨一样的泡面头我不太能欣赏。
A24就爱拿腔拿调，琐碎的场景总是煞有介事的多个机位展现，不仅氛围感拉低，也不断磨蹭到冲散观众的观影热情，危机四伏跟成人影片交互剪辑，质地刻意要拔高，黑白电视机里的传销演讲一遍又一遍，生怕看电影的人是低能儿，唯独复古意味还原浓厚，但杀戮开始，下三路恐怖片的手法频频拿来炫技，以为是什么高级的反讽幽默处理，看到最后一刻才发现依然是类型片穷途末路的一次复制，对性的欢愉神往真是不分尊卑老少，对人性骨子里的恶挖掘不遗余力，形式和内容双双不奏效的九流制作，A24再这么有恃无恐的装逼下去，迟早药丸。★☆
驹子真是有一张耐看的越看越喜欢的容颜。昨晚看完很想写一个评论的，可是太困太困了，于是打字到睡着。从岛村的角度看，这只是一个路过白雪覆盖村落遇到一个三线弦弹的尚可的艺妓故事，从驹子的角度，这则是一个关于最初的爱恋生活所困的放弃还有最后天人相隔的无奈。从叶子的角度，好吧我不知道。她逐渐开始有了存在感，只是在墓前遇到，说自己再也不想护理任何人，然后又一度隐藏在了驹子的光彩之下。是的，你只会注意到驹子，这部片子，似乎别的人都是来衬托她的生活，捉襟见肘也好，逢场作戏也好，真心爱恋也好，都是围绕着她的，一个女人的故事。爱了。
川端康成在日本彻底转向军国主义时写了雪国，低气压下的所谓知识分子害怕面对真实的现实，他们的恐惧是认定生命本身是徒劳，而且越是怒放的生命就越徒劳，任由一切以自然的形态去发展毁灭，这种吃饱了撑的人物让高桥一生来演实在是违和，不够冷漠无耻
第一次没有给高桥的片子打五星，老公滤镜也拯救不了的那种。原片三星半，多给高桥半星。片子确实拍的挺唯美的，但故事完全没有讲明白，驹子和叶子的友情，岛村是不是喜欢上了叶子，驹子疯了还是没疯，都着笔太少了
挺喜欢这部影片，舒缓的节奏情感的流动感觉很舒服，总能在女主身上看到苍井优的影子。但这海报太迷惑了，为何不是白茫茫的雪景而是通往雪国的隧道呢。
因为记性不好，买了两次小说，至今还是一遍都没有看完，记忆最深刻的是前十几页的文字描写。
