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.
没想分这么低，我给个五分吧，影片的氛围很独特，像是欧美的游戏过渡，异样的世界塑造很迷幻、苍凉，爱情是这个末世盛开又枯萎的花朵……
男主真是一个痴情的汉子啊！
世界观挺新颖，但反反复复情情爱爱，不但没有感人，反而让人觉得乏善可陈。缓慢而无聊。
2星，披着未来科幻外衣的爱情片，痴情种子狼先生演技在线。
阵容😍
曲里拐弯儿地讲了个人间自是有情痴的故事【喂】本来还挺开心的，觉得编导老师人挺好，这就给我苦大仇深的狼叔安排上甜甜的恋爱戏了，恋的还是丽贝卡弗格森这样的气质大美女……结果特么又结出一颗苦瓜……难道你们从未意识到狼叔长了一张好命的脸吗？心疼！【喂】另外吴彦祖到底在干嘛？搞大湾区口音文化输出吗？
Daniel Wu的gangster菜的抠脚竟给一小女人团灭，，服了
在宏大的故事背景下扯些情情爱爱，格局也太小了
没有彦祖会更好，Rebecca Ferguson架枪动作被玩坏了
I like to see the end of the world in all its forms
第3402-问题就一个，不够精彩，而希望过高。

1.故事本身不错，但是剧本平庸，文戏过多，拖沓冗长，节奏扁平，亮点太少。2.背景音乐和部分海景画面不错。3.吴彦祖几句话承包我一年笑点。而我居然在吴彦祖年华老去的时候才开始发现他的帅。4.不跳戏是很难的，狼叔每次从水缸里出来我都在想念他的钢爪。5. 不客观的五星全部献给这个分分钟把我掰弯的绝世美人，以及这个我爱了二十年的男人。
就。。。怀旧感不错，内核和科技手段都挺老套的一个故事
未来的世界都成了威尼斯水城，并随时有被淹没的风险，于是人们希望沉迷于美好的过去，便诞生了用水来重拾记忆的职业。狼叔正好是从事这个职业的，突然某一天来了一位女主寻找钥匙，于是狼叔开启了一场自认为浪漫的爱情，实则女主只是为了达到偷走芯片的目的。之后的剧情就是狼叔不顾一切，要去寻找失踪的女主，不听人劝想去证明爱情是存在的。然后就陷入了一场家族的政治阴谋，抢走的芯片是一个可以证明集团大佬婚外情且有私生子的事实，而大佬的亲儿子为了遗产，找杀手干掉了相关人员，以及摧毁芯片，这就有了狼叔邂逅女主的情节，当然最终女主虽然死了，但是也告诉了狼叔爱情是存在的。这是一部披着未来科幻的软科技片，先进的科技只是辅助，实则是为探讨人性与爱情
分数：75
随着算力速度的的加快过去总是容易被太快遗忘
吴彦祖这台词没有十年非主流功底真的写不出！导演是不是觉得找西部世界的演员，再帅哥美女搞一搞，弄点死伤加点特效就要素齐活儿了？是弗妹支撑我熬过这两小时🤦🏻♀️
男主遇见梅之后一见钟情也情有可原，毕竟女主弗格森太美太魅了。全片个人感觉没有评分那么低，倒是很喜欢这个味道，，那种节奏不快的黑色电影，主角内心独白经常回响在画外音里，还有个蛇蝎美人。让我想起了《罪恶之城》，还莫名想起《移魂都市》，可能都是跟记忆有关的都市科幻吧。也算是科幻外衣的侦探片吧，到后面还被深深感动到了。
god damn, so boring. 阿祖怎么还能这么帅！！
