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.
是非，黑白，善恶的对立，灰色地带的讨论，不算韩国很优秀的电影，解解乏还不错
特效很一般，对儿童片本不应苛求，这电影前后两部分的故事是完全割裂的。
断断续续看了一点，很失望：1、皮皮鲁的孩子表演真是很僵化；2、老师什么的都太脸谱化了；3、考试作弊那个设计真是很傻；4、救火时候用衣服挂在绳索上拽着滑下来的设计难道不危险吗？不怕孩子效仿？
又名“长大以后我就变成了你”，年轻警察经社会鞭打终于明白人在江湖走怎能不背锅，世界哪有黑白分明，不管白猫黑猫，能抓坏人就是好猫的职场道理，最终成为了他爸爸最不想让他做的那种人。这种现实主义题材要表达的内容的确我很认同，但是让人觉得太丧了，现实都已经如此了，到底有没有可能有所改变，而不是让大家都在泥潭里滚呢？警察办案，经费不足，就非得通过非法的形式在做正确的事情吗？只是陈情现实，却无法让人深思，我认为这部电影太可惜了。
思考：守法办事的平庸官僚之辈与不顾一切抓坏人的真正警察，总感觉可以拍的更好的
不如改名叫借钱 就是有几个疑问点还没想明白
勉强及格，看的多了，韩国电影工业风，真的很一般
挺意外的 最后居然落在警察就应该游走边缘之上 灰色间 赵震雄切崔宇植脸的一幕最好看 真下手啊
集体作弊，道德绑架，强行煽情。
tnnd这比长津湖好看多了 除了把罐头小人公之于众之外都很好 鲁西西也好看 价值观也很正 中国需要这样的儿童电影
剧情无感，但崔宇植赵震雄这阵容就得值5⃣️🌟
P.S.按时还钱的黑社会剧情还蛮高光时刻的
学校班级里的人一个个势利的
总体拍的还是不错的。不过我是原著党，一般不喜欢修改原著，不过完全忠实原著也确实不好拍。看的过程中，有一个女熊孩子，全程不停地大声描述剧情和说话，全场就听她一个人叨叨叨了，我开始还以为没家长，散场一看家长就在旁边，根本不管。真是有人生没人教。散场全过程，那个母亲一直低头刷手机不抬头，本来想瞪她一眼，可人家不给目光，看来是知道不管孩子会招人讨厌的，但是必须这样做，就是想培养个小霸王出来。
赵震雄演这种角色轻车熟路了，打斗戏还算干净利落
有点毁我童年最爱小说。不懂为什么要改编成李小曼要求作弊结果引发大火。
冲着小崔看的电影。剧情正常，演技在线，是可以和朋友在一起轻松看看的动作片。
有西装的崔宇植其实是值7分的，但是这个剧情吧，，一言难尽，在飞机上刷得我都快无语了
根据日本小说改编，日本也有电影《孤狼之血》，这部韩版感觉就差了很多，故事平铺直叙，两个主角也没有啥表现力，只能说打发时间看看，5.5分。
本片的90年代家庭/校园画风的还原度不亚于徐峥在鸭先知里对80年代的设计成果。 嘉木@亮马桥星典
