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.
重复一遍，一个不再苦逼的蜘蛛侠是没有灵魂的。这一代蜘蛛侠衣食无忧，有梅姨有基友有MJ，有有钱干爹钢铁侠和二代目神奇干爹卷福，他丧失了蜘蛛侠历来标榜的邻家男孩特质，在电影表现得像醉驾撞死人的富二代（梅姨抹眼泪：Peter是个善良的孩子，他酒驾只是因为我让他送小狗去体检）。在情怀特效卡司拉满的情况下，比之前的几乎相同剧情的动画电影差了不是一星半点，就很离谱
100%遛粉电影，除了加菲接住MJ那一幕，剩下的每秒都让我白眼翻到后脑勺且想冲进屏幕掐死荷兰弟。讲真，没有好的续集创想大可以不拍，至于外网的逆天口碑，我看🇺🇸人也快疯了。
「是我疯了，还是这个世界疯了——还是神疯了？」
20211121le。重口味版的史云梅耶。
象征主义和超现实主义叠加的变态重口味寓言片。
全片没有一句台词，基本上也没有任何剧情，而仅仅是依靠定格动画的视觉效果来呈现和表现时间、空间、生命、宇宙等浩如烟海的内容。我觉得这是属于一部实验类动画，他的主旨特别晦涩，绝不仅仅是依靠稀奇古怪的造型来表现张力。整个画面既诡异又血腥，但又看得出经过特别的精心设计。不出意外的话该片口碑会两极分化的，或者"封神"，或者下地狱。
It’s so looooonnnng that I feel like I’ve been dangled over the Grand Canyon for 12 hours
荷兰弟演出这样的片子完全不需要惊奇，毕竟他谁也不认识🥲
月庄美学典范~让特效师进化成导演的下场就是万物死~疯神一作封神！
做为一部cult电影，看高兴就行啦。截止20211126，豆瓣有2462人标记看过。
看第一个故事“逆巴比伦塔”时真的有被震撼到，每一帧都是异样的冲击力。但第二第三个故事有点平庸了。
三星，加一星给情怀。看的时候还是挺感动的，因为我想起了当年我哥带我在电视机前看蜘蛛侠的时候，在那一刻我知道了什么叫超级英雄，又想起了在电影院看《超凡》的时候，那是我第一次在大银幕看蜘蛛侠，时至今日仍记忆犹新。但我觉得，如果把这部电影的情怀去掉，它的表现其实一般，无论是天煞孤星还是“能力越大责任越大”都显得有些疲劳，而且威廉达福还把汤姆赫兰德的风头给抢去了
青春校园奇幻电影，听话痨彼得·帕克连珠嘴炮
奇异博士2的前篇，就是感觉超级英雄好儿戏，为了自己的一点小心思，就改变整个世界的走向。看来这个世界还是不要有什么超级英雄。一星给3个蜘蛛侠的汇合，情怀满满，有点小感动。
1. 托比出场 a normal guy 2. 加菲接住MJ，剩下想对编剧以及三代说一句：“滚”。一星给托比，一星给威廉达富。
低分原因，是荷兰弟的“圣母情节”
在停格动画里算是巅峰之作了，前半小时想象力给满分，但到后半部分批判性偏重，缺少了开场酝酿的恶趣味。结尾出色
漫威最佳电影诞生，不好意思了妇联4，谢谢索尼和漫威联手送给粉丝最好的圣诞礼物！！
来自基督徒的叛逆想象，也许上帝才是最残暴最无情的那个。
超級體現個人風格的一部了吧，動畫畫面做的是真的好，故事本身整體看著有些雜亂但具體到每個分支情節又OK，傳達的意思能get到一部分但不是全部，個人還是挺喜歡的
