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.
在每一幕琐碎鸡毛又充满矛盾冲突的生活场景里，是中年女性努力支撑的坚强与悄无声息的崩溃。虽然是以癌症晚期的季佩珍为切入点，但电影并没有堆砌狗血的剧情，也没有刻意渲染离别的残酷。相反，它用轻盈又温情的结局，实现了残酷之外的另一种圆满。死亡不是结束，被世界遗忘才是灵魂的终点。喜欢徐帆和张婧仪相得益彰的表演，从强势到温柔，从叛逆到和解，每一个眼神的交汇，都是爱与亲情的浓浓羁绊。
这片其实就光看这三个好莱坞顶级大佬之间的化学反应就够了，还需要其他什么自行车呢？继续期待续集就好！
标准爆米花，剧情俗套。不过盖尔加朵够飒够美，拿嘉宾做彩蛋也挺有趣的，挽尊了，值个三星吧
过程是有点综艺化了，不太像正经电影，哪怕是爆米花电影
开始是击剑爱情故事，然后是背叛与三角恋，最后是没羞没燥的3p生活
这部电影后面一直不断在讲段子，已经听腻了，再加上特效其实看起来不够真实，三个人加上女警在全球各地乱跑，甚至有的地方就出现一个空镜和一个室内场景，弄这么多地标没起到什么作用，埃及艳后的三颗金蛋，大赚一票最后三人都空无一手。
剧情实在称不上多好，若不是三位主角，估计要快进看了…最后的反转算是为续作铺垫。对比强森和小贱贱的本色出演，反而盖尔加朵贡献了比以往作品里更为出彩的演技，比“傻白甜”式的正能量女战士更有魅惑的女骗子。Netflix估计在试探口碑和票房，好的话，铁定有第二部。本作又叫《红色通缉令前传:不打不相识之三个蛋的故事》，续作《红色通缉令正传:三人成虎偷袭卢浮宫》…
巨石强森和盖尔加朵就像是从海洋奇缘和神奇女侠穿过来的，而瑞安雷诺兹一如既往的不同角色同一种演法，花了两个亿投资的电影，都浪费在了不算很精彩的枪战和追逐战，开场的打戏还算不错，有成龙的感觉，后面就... 我就不提了。
（一天看两部巨石强森，每部都戳心感觉）；
2.5；从剧情到动作戏都随意到侮辱智商的程度了。。
强森to贱贱：oh you are definitely bottoming.
6，剧情一般，细节获胜，但是地理老师/考察队员身份太少以至于女儿到达南极时缺乏共情度，表达的内容是传统的母性光辉符号，黏合家庭，扶养后代“成为想成为的人”，徐帆和许亚军的表演太动人，导演在类型中缺失新颖，两个航拍和父母特写镜头太缺失表现力
这是一个绿灯(死侍)发觉自己莫名成了亚当和神女之间第三者的悲伤(喜剧)故事，Netflix2亿美金投资＝加朵的颜➕强森的力量➕小贱贱的贱嘴➕全世界美景观光！
结尾的意思是还要拍续集，盗罗浮宫。拍得这么烂，应该是没有续集了。
非常偷懒的作品，沿用了三位演员的老戏路，最后强行反转来挽尊，无论是夺宝还是二男一女的组合照几十年前的《夺宝奇兵》和《纵横四海》都差不少，纯属多余。
reynolds真的好会犯贱！但打戏替身连发型都对不上。。。爱得稀烂比GOT里演的好
说实话，看完也完全记不住讲了啥，逻辑bug多到无法吐槽。纳粹宝库都找到了，非要偷那颗蛋，我一脸问号。宝库里可不止3亿美元的东西啊！当观众是傻子？？？
温馨提醒：观影请自备纸巾。
商业片的配置，但那些自作聪明的桥段，未免太过时了吧，真的很没看头。
Netflix最大制作电影(估计贵的是三个人的片酬吧)，两男一女全世界乱飞偷天陷阱相声大会。记得多年前同样有一部片子与此类似，叫《纵横四海》，主演：周润发张国荣钟楚红。
