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.
前半部几个反转还是有点意思的，最后失控了有点崩
可能因为期望高的缘故，比第一部差远了，跟偶像片似的，日冈从一开始的自作聪明到后面变成真傻逼，上林倒是一如既往的疯子和残忍，剧情从中部开始崩坏，发现整个幕后靠一个工具人记者，简直荒唐，日冈作为一个警察背负的前辈的风格和梦想，但是没有前辈的魅力和信念，行至半途忘记了出发点和作为，整个广岛警署都是叛徒和废物，倒是日冈此举贴合孤狼之态。这其实已经不算一部黑社会电影了，就是一部复仇片。
起了一个片名是石黑一雄的小说，然后一味的往《杀人回忆》的风格上靠，弄得十分的文艺，絮絮叨叨两个小时，其实故事打磨得很粗燥，逻辑上的漏洞太大了，之所以给三星是因为它居然是网大，以网大来说有这种资质就算不错了。PS：三个女演员我感觉都一个模样。
泛黄老旧的滤镜加持下，悬疑复古的氛围还算尚可；但是剧情而言，悬疑、文艺两手都没拍好，尤其是双线叙事下，两位女主的感情没有任何铺垫，两位男主的纠葛更是毫无缘由，莫名其妙；节奏上更是冗长拖沓，无数繁琐的独白更是降低观感
剧情很平很套路
还是挺好看的 本来想看第一部结果看成了第二部。
最后一段剑心和志志雄真实既视感
松坂桃李不够役所广司的魅力啊，这个level有点不够2，不过1.5是有的
热血的男生很喜欢 被男友拉着看的我 看到挖眼睛那里就看不下去了
影片完成度很高。年代感和边城气都营造得不错。可惜女主动机成立牵强，编剧还自作心虚一个劲儿借男主口发问她为何要回来报仇。剧作也就现出硬伤。
真的感谢邻居投喂，没有老大哥们和好看的妈妈桑，年轻人虽然缺点味道但也不错诶。这个反派疯狗起来真的疯，好想看他演纯爱片！
3.3星。大上看到教出来的徒弟这样只怕气死，大上是为了保护老百姓，男主还拉幸太下水，幸太被上林派去杀男主那会就应该送幸太进监狱躲躲了。里面这两帮派跟极恶非道里真是比不了，上林这种狗当个组长差不多了。结尾枪杀好评
视角混乱，一会儿是警察视角一会儿又是全知视角，人物塑造更是没头没尾，莫名其妙的文艺忧伤，最搞笑的是到最后我也没搞明白这个舞团是跳什么舞的，仓库里都是锣鼓这种民族舞装备，主角天天跳吉赛尔？看不懂
少了役所广司的松坂桃李还是勉勉强强啊，西野七濑的妈妈桑缺了点味道.
本来时隔好久已经把孤狼1的内容忘掉了。结果重回开一看感觉又有那味了。
和大上还是有一定的距离 其实剧情有些重复 都是讲的日本旧社会黑恶势力的故事
桃李真的出乎我意料的会演。。这次没有丰叔客串了有点伤心
非常喜欢这种带有时代特色、时代印记的罪案电影，那种九十年代甚至稍早的社会风貌，给人以真实感，风格也是趋于沉稳，不浮夸，倒叙的手法，总而言之，质量过关。
比第一部略差一些，反派杀人跟吃西瓜一样简单随意。
个人觉得比1更好呢，上林的人物刻画得，那个气氛让人喘不过气来
