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.
很沉重的主题，表现的有些泛泛。不过单看薛叔的部分，感觉还能再延续拍个十几集电视剧…
没有反转就是真的烂。有了反转只是让这部片子显得不那么烂而已。想看薛景求在兹山鱼谱那种表演。以及我千姐竟然只是工具人，失望。
非常類型片化，但是如果以《尋龍訣》做對比，又明顯差上一截，故事講得有些平，高潮戲有些許寡淡。迷霧重重，懸念迭起，人心難辨，故事馬伯庸味很十足，一環套一環佈局精巧。葛優依然是四兩撥千，雷佳音、辛芷蕾對角色完成得也不錯，最大驚喜是阿如那，誰能想象《驢得水》中的小銅匠也能演一個機關算盡又暴戾乖張的角色呢？
不知道原著是不是也是这么个设定，反正这电影的核心逻辑根本立不住……就指望日本人傻得连真假都分不出来吗？还得指望日本人良心发现把文物还回来？事实上很多文物直接流失海外也没被毁损啊，只不过放在英美法之类的正规博物馆里让人觉得操蛋而已，不至于灭失啊。所以这个故事从根上就很扯淡，外面再套再多层皮，也没法给人真实感。没有起码的民族意识，硬要拍民族情节的故事，难受，也难看。
1128超前点映。成熟规整的类型片，完成度相当高，节奏好，打戏文戏都不错。几个演员也很不错，尤其辛芷蕾的黄烟烟是我看过所有版本里最好的。雷佳音真的一双无辜狗狗眼hh，不太许愿但是混不吝的劲头也有（就是他俩同框疯狂串戏绣春刀）。葛大爷负责大部分笑点和泪点，演这类角色太驾轻就熟了，戏没得说。咏梅老师也是大惊喜。唯一可惜的是可能篇幅限制，药不然的设定比较简单粗暴，还是落入传统反派窠臼，实际上是蛮复杂一个人，但剧本给的展现空间太小。整体来说还是不错，属于没兴趣二刷但一次体验就很好的爽片。
翰洁不是主谋可以看出来 但是他其实是最初的受害者倒是没想到 三个更有权势的父母紧密地团结在一起很真实 智浩一直没有说出真相也很真实（谁没在期待她翻供呢）最后的真相不过也是校园霸凌的恶果罢了
一顿操作猛如虎，合着还是送国宝给日本的汉奸？……囧rz，太多的莫名其妙了。
屎忽剧本蠢得我眼睛要流血，一星给吴达洙以外的主演。薛你好美。
比较典型的青春片，有点刻意文艺，演员演技一般，亲吻没有火花，有小小的感动，那并不是为故事本身，而是为青春。
而主创们对这一问题采取了只陈述不解释的态度，也不知是根本没意识到问题的严重性，还是心有余悸不便明说。
好看的啊！全程没掏出手机看一眼。没看过原著也能理清，bug也能解释。想去看原著了！除了打戏，每次都被他们对文物的态度吓死，就是说，咱能不能轻一点………
ps：阿如那真的是本片最大惊喜
薛景求独角戏，其他角色都很单薄，但演员演技都不错，校园暴力里旁观不作为的也是有错的。
这是一部讲述校园暴力的影片，全片以一位中学生自杀事件作为引子，在一群家长们的相互指责和推诿中逐渐揭露事件的真相，同时在此过程中，将身为父母人性中最自私最冷漠最阴暗最丑陋的那一面血淋淋地揭露出来，看后让人不寒而栗！
马亲王一贯的高开低走
好久没有看过这么爽的电影了，情节环环相扣，节奏不拖拉，鉴宝特效锦上添花，演员们选的也都很好，真的被李现帅到了，近期看过最好看的电影了
中午去看的 都没几个人看 一开场就闹哄哄的 剧情不可 看着都要睡着了
可以看作华语版的达芬奇密码。故事文化背景对准了文物古玩，华语解密探秘电影终于不再只是探墓了。解密冒险的紧张感引人入胜，不经意插入的幽默恰到好处，寻宝之旅与探求家族亲情的双线交织，让结尾不失温馨和感动！人情和古玩一样，需要“去伪存真”。
最后对视说i do 那里差点没绷住
我朋友说别看有李现我还不信结果他真不像是来演电影的，像隔壁芭莎来拍画报的走错了场子。从头顶发胶到脚底鞋跟都写满了格格不入四个大字。
