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.
很火爆，很卖拷贝！整部片子就是一部大型LAPD秀肌肉的超长宣传片，各种酷炫的GTR、RAM、野马警车扎堆，直升机全程打酱油。但可惜的是，两个硬伤拉跨，把全片素质拉低，一是反派有勇无谋，无计划无组织，最后一招多点诱饵还算稍微有点技术含量，二是可能想表现LAPD的超高效率，一开始啥事情没有，就有一大堆警车到位，莫名其妙。全片就好像是把其他动作片中的5分钟追车戏硬生生拉成2个小时，看得人好累。但镜头、动作设计、光影效果还是不错的，勉勉强强及格吧，正宗爆米花电影，看完就忘。好在卖拷贝选角口味还行，女主和当年的梅根有一拼，很是漂亮！比神秘海域的女主强多了！
好多逻辑硬伤，结局救人质杀大佬也是醉了，尼是真的正确。
开头抢银行，劫匪和警察枪战那段很迈克尔贝。逃出银行后，电影就没法看了
嘟嘟嘟。哒哒哒。duangduangduang。点错了。结尾宣传片套路么
在电影的世界里，世界观的撕裂总是源于情节线的崩坏。
GTA V 很容易玩出相同的故事。迈克尔·贝不在乎观众喜不喜欢看，自己玩爽了不留遗憾。保持坚固的风格标签，为何撕掉？但文本确实够低能，可自动过滤掉。
好多逻辑硬伤，结局救人质杀大佬也是醉了，尼是真的正确。
爆米花，但是没甜味的感觉。效果还不错，就是在看效果的同时，别瞎BB好不好？！说的话没一句跟故事有关，没一句跟剧情有关，救护车的想法很好，但暴露了，那救护车跟其他车有毛区别？要救人就想其他计划，要杀人就杀个痛快，最讨厌这种不专业的杀手和不专业的圣母！跟贝先生说一句，请闭嘴，好好的拍追车，枪战！
挺带劲啊，最少也是七分的片啊，标准爆炸贝的电影，还要啥自行车，爽就完了！
在影院看，眼花缭乱，花活不断，航拍如入臻境，很多镜头是用穿越机拍出来的，影院体验真的拉满。上乘的好莱坞爆米花大作，商业需要的它都有，尤其爆炸，那可是迈克尔·贝的绝活。p.s.老吉帅炸！！
“我们都逃不出这囚笼了……”
镜头晃的眼花缭乱，我完全不知道发生了什么？
给伦哈尔什么接片眼光，傻蛋劫匪二人组。卖拷贝拍的是无人机摄影宣传片吧
其实特别像1994年的Speed，那时的警匪片是90年代event movie的标准模版。时过境迁，在当下定义动作片时，观众的胃口早就被吊高：只要不是漫威和IP作品，一律归类为B级片。这样的电影以后应该只有流媒体上看到了，且看且珍惜。
Cam令人敬佩，真是很容易爱上她。
怎么能把这么简单的一件事拍的那么长….最后哥哥怎么就回头是岸了….抢了几千万最后就藏了20多万….
全程标准好莱坞式呜呜渣渣的碎嘴，烦炸了
卖拷贝多年浸淫于商业大片的功底还是很厚实的，全程剧情紧凑、追车大场面给够，镜头上天入地漂亮至极，但难免镜头太花搞得人头晕眼花。其实仔细想想这个乌龙劫匪的故文事还是有不少槽点的，结局也似乎有点强行上价值观的别扭劲，人物众多但真正谈得上塑造的也就两劫匪加女救护员，不过紧张的节奏掩盖了这些问题。不过疫情期间难得在影院看到部解闷的大片，给个3.5星吧。
一部翻拍片，把原来的白人兄弟，改成一黑一白两哥们。吉伦哈尔的表演还是挺给力的，女主也挺耐看，表演很自然。只是有点扯，那在颠簸疾驰的救护车上远程遥控指导做手术的情节，就是胡编了。整体来说，看个热闹就好了。
老吉快要晚节不保了，就各种bug和强行逃脱，警察各种笨蛋，并不聪明的罪犯炫各种不怎么样的技能，嗯，总之看得有点浪费我机智的脑袋
