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.
为了凑时间，增加了大量插科打诨的戏份，演员表演太浮夸。整部片子都很一般。
其实还行，有点平淡，看个热闹是可以的。有李光洙就看了，以为是喜剧呢
光听名字就知道一定是武大打系列，虎门销烟只是一部分，更多的是要将旧中国的惨烈体现出来
No.2304 看完才来看的豆瓣评分，猜到分不得高了。没看懂住宅楼为啥会陷到地下这么深，而且四周还挺光滑，有提过这个地区原先是矿区吗？救援队感觉根本没做什么，单纯等着的话这些人就没救了。这么深的大洞，怎么也应该用线缆的摄像头放下来吧，除非根本没有或没有准备这种东西。最后水涌上来的速度也太快了，盖子没盖的时候还在楼顶，等盖子盖上十几秒被上面的楼体砸的时候，大罐子下沉了好一段距离。最后两个住单居的年轻人走到了一起挺好的，那种生活方式也是很多人喜欢但不一定想要的吧。
整个就是喜剧，挺完整的故事，也不过分煽情。
我只能想在石RM调侃的那句：光洙这样的角色怎么活得下来的😅
血战虎门，百年销烟。历史的车轮依次开了过去，可留下的辙痕却无法消失，铭刻在我中华民族心头的教训也不能忘却！电影的真实犹如其中精彩的拳脚，一毫一厘都精准扎实，将我们重新带回那个年代，再次面对史实，我辈当自强！
看了一大堆吐槽骂街的影评之后，我回来给它加了一星。
网大的水平来说已经算是不错了，和以前经典的对比还有差距
踩雷的棒子牌喜剧灾难片，虽然拍得很烂，毕竟是在尝试新的方向了。很多场景像话剧一样，奇奇怪怪的，那些跑龙套的都在……
给这片该有的分
CAO 你们是个灾难片好吗2021-9-21 02:10:09
在中国早就分分钟救上来了
三星爆米花，李光洙每次看他演戏都觉得神奇，毕竟还是习惯他在综艺里面。
这群人智商好像都有点问题喔，bug和逻辑问题简直一大堆。 4/10
《地陷》这部电影应该是在学习《极限逃生》的风格，试图将灾难片与喜剧片混合在一起，但却没有像人家一样把握好尺度，导致最终成这模样，果然我就不该对光洙抱有期望，还以为他终于拍到一部严肃向的电影了，结果还是偏喜剧风格，他这个综艺人设看起来一时半会是摆脱不掉了。而且这灾难喜剧的混搭风格所带来的观影体验也是挺混乱的，明明以为会一直保持搞笑的基调，结果后期还有着邻居死亡的悲伤情节，使得这充满着大团圆氛围的结局也显得不那么团圆了，等于说本片喜不够喜、悲也不够悲，观感就很奇怪。再加上虽然有着不少房屋陷落的特效大场面，但整体还是部低成本电影，道具的质感也显得比较假，给予观众一种很明显的搭设绿幕感。总体来说，本片就是部虽然噱头很足，但整体质量却是很一般的存在，可以一看，但不看也不会错过什么，所以最后5.8分。
前一半好棒，东亚社畜买房故事和家长里短总这么让人有共鸣感。后一半反而无聊起来了。。。
超高成本喜剧片了属于是，有不少桥段确实挺逗，还是值得一看的
不专业，只谈一点自己的主观感受。感觉情节与情节之间过度略显生硬，演员的表演也略显浮夸。个人感觉电影没有宣传片好看，但非常支持导演想要表现历史的爱国热情，加油加油！
说是网剧，但是质量还真不比大厂的片子质量差，无论从剧情，演技，还是画面，服装来说都刷新了我对网剧的认知！值得推荐！留下一星是进步空间！
