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.
时过境迁已经完全没有滤镜了，再看这次剧场版的内容也只不过是一个SP的程度哈哈哈。道枝的长相和演技细看是一种残忍
作为疯魔，你是不是脑瘫啊。
到后面的时候我以为是整个村的村民一起犯案，没想到是整个村的人一起包庇两个孩子。为了两个孩子嫁祸给山本一家，真的让人难以接受，那家人因为他们的自私都毁了，女儿长大了还在被网暴，他们都无动于衷？？不是很喜欢这个故事😥
消灭“想看”club/三星半。
也就算个SP吧。喜欢诙谐的各种踩点。剧情没什么看头，动机更是无语。
还是那个味儿，深山的执念代入这次的案子就很合理。案子本身很离谱，现代版东方快车谋杀案，换了个皮对集体的暴力批判了一番。电影换了一波主演嘉宾，得补一下SP，有点跳戏。
完全在看演员们的对戏和互动，没咋在意案件。小花演得太可爱了，尤其是听到冷笑话时的笑声与眼神，哈哈。
放大后影响的
剧情在意料之中吧，可惜没有法庭的戏了，好久没看觉得律所里面的互动有一点太抓不到重点了
万年配角，
【大量剧透】从推理剧角度来看，撑死给3分，开头就隐隐觉得整个村子不简单，中途基本上可以确定是集体作案，但是最后动机也太特么牵强了。从人性探索角度来看，这个动机可谓是充分展现了日本人，尤其是乡下地区的排外意识，不值得、真的不值得。以及，剧场版主演团演技原来越浮夸了，不知道是导演的问题还是怎么回事，可以好好说人话偏不要，搞得冷笑话梗都有点不好玩了。本来还很期待西岛叔演反派，虽然开篇不就发现不是好失望，但是叔后面完全拉回来了期待，那种隐忍又痛苦的感情，真的好充沛，主角团完败啊。
这这这这……死掉那几个人都没有家人的是吧😆
三星半。没想到西岛叔是个“伪反派”我错了。。。香川叔这个角色是不是越来越可爱了啊导致主角越来越弱的感觉ps：前两任女主都来客串了
99.9系列麻烦一直出下去 推理严不严谨无所谓 看他们耍宝才是最重要的
99.9剧版的反转都做得挺精妙的，这次映画版就比较逊色了，而且刚看完前男友的遗嘱同样的集体犯罪包庇真凶还是那边比较合理
小花真可爱
完全是SP的制作和质感，真的完全没有电影的规模感。
还真是穷山恶水出刁民，“保护孩子？”这是理由吗？就是嫉妒人家半路出家做红酒的比你们厉害吧。我真的无语，那两个孩子难道失忆了吗？怎么会不记得，还有被毒酒害死的村民不会追责吗？就这样找到替死鬼就够了？还是真的那么恨别人手艺比你们好...
其他的基本都保持了电视剧的拍摄和剧本安排，挺好
喜欢99.9的可以看，喜欢犯罪悬疑的可别看。
