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.
在梦里我和你站在花火大会的人海里
除了撒撒血浆，通篇无感，矫情造作，剧情在意料之中，其他都在情理之外。。。搞不懂那点声效哪里吓人了，好家伙最后女主还来了一招凤凰幻魔拳。。。温导退步明显。我看的是无删节版，不过要我说这片子专门蹲什么无删节版大可不必，爱奇艺方便看就直接看看就得了。
朋友给茉莉介绍有心脏病的人、茉莉抱着妈妈痛哭、茉莉幻想的未来这三幕最触动了，感情线倒显得没那么打动我，总之还是很平淡。
父亲刚出场的时候，精炼的短发乌黑发亮。10年不到的时间，以是银霜披蜡！
余命未知，但是十年前的我看到现在的我会失望吗，十年后的我又会是怎么样的
爱很简单，很轻易的就能发生，瞬间解封冰冷矜持内心【7.0】
总觉得这个故事可以拍得更精彩，坂口健太郎真的好帅啊，小松菜奈也很美，野田洋次郎的声音还是那么的好听！！！
一开始以为温子仁是故意追求2000s那种B级片质感，演员的演技也是“故意”演得那么“差”（女主、妹妹、没什么鬼用的hapa男主加浮夸的black female detective），我还觉得很玩味，以为是在反讽类型片呢。可耐着性子看完整部真的只能用就这就这？？来形容，整体跟early千禧的美式低成本恐怖片没区别啊。body horror也不恐怖，只能用awkward来形容。太土了。土到绝望。
依然是灵异附身，故事太单薄了，y1s1剧本很不温子仁...
题材故事和滚蛋吧肿瘤君类似 故事简单 情节过渡也自然 （坂口小天使实在是太可爱了）
8.0/10 明明挺好看啊… 很不一样的温子仁作品。铅黄电影的本核，加之德帕尔玛式的心理惊悚和柯南伯格式的生理恐怖。不知温导是否已经意识到自己的恐怖片(惊吓)技艺很难有所长进了，才转而发展出了以技术主义为导向的虐杀戏码(警局屠杀)。可以看作对铅黄电影的一次致敬，但更多的或许是温导对自己恐怖片创作的策略性变向。可能唯一的问题在于一开始的凶宅闹鬼是温子仁创作上的延续(或惯性)，角色明显是一个切实存在的超自然鬼魂/灵体，甚至直接给出了鬼视点，而之后才完成了转向/过渡到铅黄电影的创作路线，其中难免夹杂着矛盾与不和谐，它是不纯的，因为首先闹鬼这点就是有悖铅黄电影创作理念的。
颜怡颜悦:我是一个双胞胎，我做梦她醒着，灵魂出窍的感觉就达到了。
其实人生啊，那些“值得放入回忆清单”的部分加起来，能足十年，已算圆满。一个没有悬念的简单故事，但是一个足够美丽的幻境。小松菜奈＋坂口健太郎＋樱花散落，足够啦。
大量的哭戏就像排枪阵打仗，足够密集但精度一般，令和年代的残酷青春物语似乎更需要观众在合适时间段看才能共情吧
看完看评论才知道原来这是一部爱情片吗？那我真是一开始就搞错了目标...
小松和苏打在一起后演技长进了不少，但这故事实在太平，男主也无趣，也就亲情友情还着实感人
或许相遇已是奇迹
温子仁中等水平发挥，大宅内的长镜游走跟随+主观视角呈现出视觉上的繁复多样，西雅图地下世界氛围感颇好（重提nirvana和pearl jam是惊喜），高潮杀戮戏招招封喉太过爽利；从精神层面的幻象到专注生理机制的畸变倒也可看，只是文本较贫瘠单薄，尤其是解决段落处理得简单了。
7。这个电影本质上是规整俗套的爱情片，但是男女主颜值配置就足以秒杀一众同类型片，再加以野田洋次郎配乐的渲染和电影不疾不徐的叙事节奏也让故事变得娓娓道来感情过渡得也真挚。PS：很喜欢电影一个片段，在颓唐的夜晚里，樱花席地卷起，怦然的绽放在风里，是每一个想死的夜晚的救赎，是再也不会回来的春日。
而且又是铅黄+德帕尔玛+血浆。
