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.
其实这个电影主角是她妈 海报上就很明显了 我本可以只看女同线cut的
三星半。巴瑞·莱文森带着教科书般的发挥归来，一部没有任何废话的传记片，扎实又流畅。即便剧本脉络较为常规，但这样的完成度着实令人景仰。道格拉斯·克莱斯利用光线和声音的变化作为剪辑点，无法忽视的突出。本·福斯特优秀到，如果明年初奥斯卡男主提名没有他，那就是整个学院的奇耻大辱。
对大师兄的武力的渲染，场面调度，击败大师兄的合理性，都远远不如破坏之王。
拳击手一直在幸存，也一直在死去。题材真的是我的菜，但导演处理的不够好，可惜了。
烂俗套路，享受生活热爱跳舞的烂梗真的太老了。除了怪兽打架没啥看头
故事完成度及格，属于看一半就知道后头是啥剧情的对小朋友观众友好的动画片。
非常普通的怪兽电影，没有记忆点甚至，傲慢的触手鲨鱼头海怪和成长型牛头怪兽的战斗也太无聊了。
人类驯养小怪兽的故事~~奥特曼咋没出现呢~~
剧情挺烂的，只有一条线，而且没有交代爸爸失踪原因，画面设计很好
像流水线产物，剧情基本都不用猜，所有人都知道怎么演。所以导致明明需要3个小时交代的东西，缩减成1个半小时，甚至中间省略的情节，观众都能轻松脑补出来。成长，奋斗，努力。全在1分钟里了，所有怪兽的打斗部分加一起做了接近1小时。我不喜欢这样。
很清水的合家欢鸡汤片。
睡前一课：接受自己，接受当下，接受身边的一切，接受这个世界，然后找到自己的节奏和方式，迸发生命的火花
全片的唯一亮点可能就是怪兽的建模和流畅的格斗。剧情本身相当经不起推敲，适合单纯看个爽，爽过就可以忘，励志？整部电影更像是血脉的觉醒，没有天赋？看台下纹身完后洗纹身。
真刻板，里面的怪兽应该把人类统治起来，让人类代替它们的角色，劝服他们一代接着一代，成为娱乐兽众的摔跤手，看看是什么滋味。
一般，就挺一般的…不好也不坏…过于平庸，剧情俗套…人物形象也没有凸出点，擂台赛也没有太精彩的地方，就很一般…

Franki和Tay，不愧是外国人，第二次约会就一定是…有下文😁
二战题材。男主幸存者，在集中营被德国人用来赌博拳击。后来逃跑成功，为了寻找失散的女友，在拳击大赛中想借新闻，让女友看到。后两人都组成了家庭，最后女友去世前得以相见。

通过独一无二的自己创造属于自己的荣誉。
