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.
可以是可以，但也没有那么可以，但是总体来说还是不错的。
还行吧，青春期女孩的反叛，比较直白，观感一般，这妈挺吓人
想用家庭关系的瓦解来塑造恐怖意向，但是表现手法和人物塑造单薄的让人摸不着头脑
第一次看韩国黑帮题材 我觉得蛮好的啊 也蛮热血的
又一部韩国🇰🇷黑帮流水线动作电影，节奏剪辑感觉够乱
还行吧，青春期女孩的反叛，比较直白，观感一般，这妈挺吓人
这部电影总体来说还是挺不错的，时间也比较长，不管是人设还是剧情都还可以，值得观看
我炒，是我看过【新世界】后，唯一让我震撼的黑帮电影，绝对6.7分低得太多了
发现自己还挺喜欢这种类型的恐怖片诶～看完后会有所感悟，会有需要找解析的想法，故事会有点怪诞的感觉，但是就是这种无严谨逻辑的电影才会吸引人吧
具象化畸形家庭关系重压之下的产物 阴暗面和同源的互补关系表明本该是共生共存的 表面看似完美的家庭实际上裂痕和隔阂只是藏匿于其中 音效营造的氛围实在是诡异
耻辱和哀伤都沉入大海换取一刻的宁静。
在当今时代。当你出现差的一面太多父母根本不把你当成人看。一心只想把孩子培养成材，堆积巨大压力让孩子无法承受导致自沙屡屡皆是。根本不会了解孩子想要的是什么。
就还好吧，小桥段还算感人，热血热在哪里没看出来。
其实是个很有意思的设定，一个善良的、心软的、认真爱很多人的中年男人混迹黑道求温饱的故事。一开始觉得郑宇演得太过用力了，越看又越觉得正是他的用力，把这个男人所有软弱犹豫踌躇全都表现出来了，不愧是影帝提名嗷！可惜后半段过于啰嗦了导致片子整体质量不佳，三星半吧，半星加给垃圾哥。
以为怪鸟会想要杀掉母亲，结果只是笨拙地用爪子去拥抱，怪异的母女关系实质是双方都离不开彼此
人在江湖，身不由己，说的不仅是混黑道的，还包括他们的亲朋好友，若有的话。
因此《毒液》《莫比亚斯》《超凡蜘蛛侠》是同一个宇宙，索尼想拍《超凡蜘蛛侠3》，加菲、毒液大战险恶六人组。
对于处在孩子成长期的家长来说有深远的教育意义
编剧肯定是听了那首中文歌“长大后我就成了你”
说实话男主就是城乡结合部的工头揽活结果被大佬们当枪使唤，兄弟背刺，被女人嫌弃不冤枉。
