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.
年度大型爽片，可惜没有在电影院拿包爆米花看了，这大概就是一部电影像是看了好几部电影的感觉，整个一个大杂烩，强森负责壮，加朵负责美，小贱贱负责嘴炮，好一个各司其职。
精准的大数据电影，无错但令人厌倦。三个主演基本是自己代表作片场直接搬过来的人设，这个故事从宝物设定到三幕场景到每个危机的解法，套路匹配准确到毫厘。网飞的史上最大制作，失去了幕布，却让电影更加不像电影，最后那个反转，像是完成任务一样，有什么意义？
肌肉臭脸 干练美艳 死侍式嘴贱 三人显然都对typecast说big yes 演的都是最擅长的类型角色 成片还行 没有新意 就像是是国家宝藏尖峰时刻十一罗汉夺宝奇兵的一锅乱炖 但毕竟只是周末饭后爆米花 插科打诨外加堆砌各种爽片元素和烧钱外景场面 娱乐性算是不错的 毕竟同样是套路动作电影 同样是角色间没火花 至少比近期快三个小时的某部有意思点 (加朵抄起古代兵器打架那段 我不管 天王老子来了这也是Diana Prince)
#电影关于我妈的一切#
如果这是AI写的剧本选的角，那还行，多训练一下日后可以期待。如果是人写的，那么AI或许可以取代编剧了。
这片亮点居然不是三主角，而是三彩蛋，一是开篇我以为打开了远古外星人（旁白也是要恰饭的），二是黄老板的小品（欧美歌手终究逃不过的宿命），三是吴京仅一秒的精湛演技
妈妈在成为妈妈之前，曾经也是个憧憬浪漫的小女孩
情感转变是比较生硬的。女儿，弟弟，老公....都在癌症面前变了一个人。

7分。
犯罪動作喜劇，合格的動作戲。情節一般般，不停在反轉反轉，感覺會有續集的樣子。
5分。网飞超强阵容网络大电影。盖尔·加朵、瑞安·雷诺兹、巨石强森三个大明星在一部电影里演戏给你看，还要啥自行车？看看不太精彩的打斗，没有新意的剧情，不合逻辑的动机，神出鬼没的角色，当你要换台或者要睡着时，看到加朵所有不爽一扫而光。当然了，小贱贱也还是很可爱的。最不喜欢的是，巨石强森居然和加朵有吻戏。剧情上完全没有这个必要，而且他俩没有一点CP感。对了，黄老板客串挺有意思。
挺精彩的，也很惊险，还是花了心思和金钱来拍这部电影的，不是单纯低成本动作。可以推荐。就是最后结局感觉不够。
阵容强大的神偷盗宝片。故事俗套到毫无惊喜，bug一堆；阵容强大，就像宣传的，黑亚当、神奇女侠、死侍合体，也延续各自标签“特色”。也有意无意cos了碟中谍、勇敢者游戏、夺宝奇兵等。有个亮点，是模仿死侍那样，大量“吐槽梗”：不升级iphone 4、指纹解锁、学《侏罗纪公园》控制恐龙、“浏览器记录”、强森最好笑的：范迪塞尔试镜《猫》视频？真的……盖尔加朵笑起来还是美的，而且总有点要笑场的感觉。但有好多个镜头把他拍得很丑。
编剧和导演真的是糊弄学大师吧？不知道怎么拍结尾，找三个大牌给网飞洗洗脑，就交作业了？
打斗搞笑不如A计划....找了最能吸引人的几个人来演一部不知所谓的东西，死侍真的太死侍了，戏路除了贱就不能演别的吗
only watched it to test my new dolby vision TV; I wouldn't even finish this stupid thing if not for Gal Gadot's breathtaking looks.
好像不管是书里还是电影里，刻画的母亲形象都能让每个人找到参照。明明大家的妈妈都不一样，但每次看“别人的妈妈”都恍惚觉得是在讲自己的故事，或许就像电影名字《关于我妈的一切》，那个我，不是女主，而是每一个被母亲宠爱着的孩子。
娱乐动作片，解题时有些勉强之感，不介意的，可以瞅瞅。
2021年油腻版《纵横四海》，以及盖尔加朵会变成朱莉代餐么
