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.
青少年版漫威超英，剧情为特效让步，文戏让动作贬值。积雪的森林不是自由沃土，飞驰的罪恶仍有正义驻足，善意荒原永失道德守护，超人少女只能做回怪物。当飞天已经被写入基因，绚烂的拳脚也沦为炫技；当牺牲成为了混合的产物，人性的氛围并不被憧憬。浪漫的不是那个夜里烟花千树，而是幻想可以平凡过一生的屋檐。
普通人类＜1代（女队长）＜2代（土味汉语一伙）＜3代（女主和姐姐）。
快闭嘴吧，别说中文了好嘛？发音恶心死我了。 “小蝌蚪找妈妈”，总觉得下一部会更拉垮。
太差了，尤其是再和第一部对比来说，简直一个优点都说不出来。在我看来，最大的问题有2个：第一，剧情的复刻。本片副标题是the other one，然后编剧就把第一部的剧情重新来一遍？有病吧；第二，超级冗长的剪辑。大量无用的重复镜头，包括表现人物性格、人物能力、人物关系等，大量无用的对话。一般来说，一部长达接近130分钟的续集电影，会大量补充设定，丰富世界观，加强前作角色塑造和转型，角色和组织关系等等各方面的信息，这里全是无用的镜头，这情节感觉也就是正常90分钟的影片长度。其他的细节虽然可以吐槽但是其实相比都不是问题了，简单说2点：第一，为了扩大影片世界观，设计了4个来自上海分部的成员，结果这四个角色的配音全是韩国人，什么东西。第二，本片的战力有些崩坏了，主角目测太强了，吊打前作。
2022/7/24/换个女主重复第一部的故事，关键比第一部差太多，混乱的剪辑和过多的人物，看得云里雾里，没有最后第一部女主的出现，完全跟续集不沾边，满满的失望。
[视]低配张东健拿抢指着低配彭昱畅。微血，导演<魔女>
两部连着看，感觉还好，感觉是同一个剧情的两种不同发展。但如果是等了4年的，这就纯粹是诈骗了。剧情越来越夸张，第二部遍地SSR。看完最喜欢女佣兵队长。
第一部科幻 这一部直接玄幻 看那意思要整个三部曲啊
故事线过多导致前半段磨磨唧唧，犯了与前作相同的节奏拖沓问题，然而到最后也没理清主线，显得十分混乱，摆明是为了系列一下部在做废话连篇的人物介绍。电影后半段的打斗足够暴力血腥，但改造上升到念力层面的神仙打架也过于扯蛋了，而且整来一个普通话都说不清的上海团伙瞬间让人出戏，好在金多美的回归与李钟硕退伍后的首次亮相还是加分不少~
不过叙事还算明白，虽然没看1也大概看懂了剧情和设定。就是前面的铺垫过于漫长了，后面的开打又过于牛逼了，这一个个都赶上漫威DC的超英了是吧？
emmm.....该不该期待第三部.....
兽医大叔的戏可以剪掉，太啰嗦了。遇到姐弟的感情戏突兀，魔女妹妹的线都成配角线了，视角线大多在帅哥美女这儿。这样的话，下一部又把视角线转到魔女姐妹就很失败了。
拍的什么玩意，除了名字，和魔女真没什么关系
看得出导演想做"魔女宇宙"，把格局玩的很大，但是就是因为这样铺垫，才放大了《魔女》系列的缺点。总体来说不如第一部，这次的女主实在和金多美差远了，打斗场面上有所提升，但是比第一部乱多了，看的我脸盲症都犯了，还有就是文戏太弱了，建议这个系列以后文戏少拍
剧情没第一步精彩，感觉还在铺垫世界设定，这种超级体术+念力的战斗方式确实看得很爽。
有几个非动作桥段的氛围营造还是不错的，不过为啥就上海人要戴口罩，是在讽刺什么吗......
整部感觉只有打斗，故事没有主体被忽略了，空有一个外壳
220723.★★★★★.韩影要逆天（近日有感）。两年多不算白等，针对力速感的视听设计超越好莱坞追平日速男（），但尖端超绝的超能力格斗也无法再现前作动作戏酣畅淋漓的快意恩仇，终究是被剧本拖断了后腿（我想看更多的 女主和工具人姐弟的情感互动与女主更复杂立体的心理描写更直爽利落的杀伐制敌还有A飒特工姐姐和小弟默契配合的耍帅呀谁要看魔都杂鱼和乱入无能力杂鱼一遍又一遍的无聊装蒜表演啊啊啊啊啊）
前面铺垫无聊太长，后面动作戏特效又吊打国产了
Made in Shanghai 那几个得得瑟瑟被扫地僧级别的女主角花式吊打
