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.
这里的维瑟米尔像极了杰洛特 身手矫健 狡黠 游走在光暗之间 有自己坚守的原则 重情义
不是书粉也没看过剧集，故事还不错，应该叫《猎魔人的诡计》，制造怪物再去杀，赚进无穷尽的钱财。控制梦境的桥段想起《鬼灭之刃无限列车篇》。7
没想到是秃头。其实还想见见游戏里拍卖行遇到的大妈的………………当成BGM把英文和日文配音版各看了一遍，日文配音有雨宫天……和英文字幕对比了下，日文字幕基本上是灾难（配音倒是忠实原意），中文字幕蛮好，应该参考了游戏ww
感觉主角光环也太重了吧，前半段各怀鬼胎比较好看。
即使以黑色幽默剧的视角看，剧情也牵强的不行。而且大段大段的废话，观感实在一般。
studiomir的打吹到吹不动了真的。80分钟紧凑，流畅。然后看着原著，看着所有这些衍生电影和剧，谢谢CDPR。
这里的猎魔人强得没边了，游戏里只能发小火苗的伊格尼法印在这里都能毁天灭地了。相比之下亨利版的gay骆驼真的弱啊。
近期看过最过瘾，夫妻俩下手再痛快点就更过瘾了。
比剧版好一万倍！每个人都错了，每个人都要迎接自己选择的命运，这才是巫师的剧情啊！
一般我不喜欢前传，因为回顾过去的事总会带着惆怅
老爷子轻微OOC，但至少动作戏份到位了，作剧集预热篇尚可。
危情夫妻勇斗三恶徒，剧情设计不错，亮点是各种意外环节。拄拐老爷子最为关键和牛逼。

猎魔人前传
故事不错，最好打斗精彩，如果拍成真人版会更好
杰洛特小时候是个小光头啊，哇哈哈哈哈。无法给出最高分，虽然故事不错，但是，啥啥都要弄点黑人出来zzzq，明明是中世纪欧洲奇幻背景，搞出黑人来还说是贵族，是想怎样。和巫师本篇一样，把特莉丝搞成黑人？！
怎么会有7.5，最高4分。
最后影片的打斗场面异常精彩，如果这不是动画电影，则铁定要入选“年度莫选”的十佳动作电影榜单的。
看的过程还是蛮爽的，充满了各种恶趣味暴力血腥，不过还是会感觉到这是为反转而反转的商业套路电影，看似编得挺讨巧，其实bug挺多，反派过于卡通脸谱化。
维爹的故事好伤感，回头再来个二周目好了，想他
