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.
超好看。小说改编的。臭名昭著的慕尼黑协议。片尾一批洗白张伯伦的嫌疑。但是节奏真的很不错。二战本来就是一场非必要战争
离大谱的剧情精准对位印度观众的审美点，
学生时代关于张伯伦的对应词就是绥靖，后来看丘吉尔自传，张伯伦并不是一无是处。这部片子从另一个角度展现了那段历史和相关当事人，蛮有意思…
清醒的人看着一切慢慢陷入巨大的深渊之中却无能为力的绝望。
我们不能选择所处的时代，我们只能选择如何回应。
本片可谓是两兄弟为了拯救人民从陌生到一起的冰与火之歌。只有印度的歌舞才能给人独特的感染力，它能通过歌舞的形式继续推进剧情。而且歌舞很美很动人不是吗。
对印度电影(尤其是南印度电影)来说算不上脑洞大开，就是他们一惯的对体能的超级想象，打破各种不可能。实际上，它的剧情编排非常严谨，每一个重要的情节点以及镜头表现的张力都设计得很好，很有革命现实主义文艺的煽动性，只是当它和极度夸张化的英雄形象结合后，就变得很不现实了。本片导演之前的作品，中国观众很熟悉，有[巴霍巴利王]系列和[功夫小蝇]，前者的“英雄”跟本片一样，都近乎被神化，一方面让观众爽到极点，另一方面紧扣历史和民族主题。
终于看上了！没想到这俩男主会有这么好磕…荞麦又在紧急送关键信件哈哈哈哈 德国小哥太帅了！开头剪辑碎得我一度难以入戏 但越看越觉得总体还不错 拍得真的蛮抓人的 但感觉男主和妻子的部分没太大作用？结尾重复开头三个人那段感觉也很unnecessary 张伯伦的那种政客的狡猾嘴脸还是展现得挺好的 有代入感了 虽然查了一下感觉一些历史上的细节没拍出来 可能电影也无意于此吧 又知道了一段二战历史就很nice～
不愧是德国人，不愧是马克思的诞生地😭——哲学家总想着怎么解释世界，而真正重要的是改变世界
虚构的历史、神话传奇般语调的情节剧式故事、舞蹈式的格斗动作，托莱坞泽米吉斯内外都“印学为体，西学为用”的《战狼》。浮夸但精彩的动作编排和场面设计基本上秒杀了除雷米版《蜘蛛侠》（严格来说其实并不属于漫威）之外的全部漫威电影，也许现在只有印度电影还能像这样一次次重新定义主流商业片的“奇观”吧。
如果你只看到印度电影无限开挂，而看不到这一幕感人肺腑的史诗，那真是太可悲了。
纪实类影片
罗摩神话的现代演绎,罗摩、比姆之名已昭然若揭。打斗精彩，抗英神话。断头台的场面有《勇敢的心》的感觉，兄弟二人救来救去，穿插的故事也非常流畅。
别让结果作为动力 更勿因依恋而不作为
Netflix少见的全程质量都在线的电影，作为政治惊悚类型拍的也很精彩，最难能可贵的就是没有全盘否定慕尼黑协议和张伯伦的作用，对纳粹绥靖的不满也表达的相对客观
“我们唯一的选择就是如何回应”
这是我的战斗，而一半是为了你。印度神片，又man又gay，动作场面爽的一匹，剧情俗套，但很好看，能打10个战狼，简直是日日日了。
类型：剧情/历史/爱情/（以及神话..）
全程燃爆嗨翻天！太会撩观众情绪了！虽然个别细节的真实度经不起推敲，但真挚度满分便可直接无视！好久没感受到雄性荷尔蒙炸裂的味道了！比复联那帮靠超钞能力的英雄酷多了！双男主间爱恨交织不断变换关系的推动合情合理，编剧敢于把其中一个先写得很坏再洗白而且洗得这么干净，大家以为很简单吗？这真的需要编剧能力很厉害才行好嘛！佩服！
電影構建了一個比較正面的張伯倫，和一個人性化的希特勒。
