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.
拍的有点台湾8点档。其实雷公更适合拍LV家族是如何被现任LVMH的董事长用尽各种脏手段赶出LVMH集团。
踏入豪门，堕入欲望的牢笼。
看完看评论才知道女主是gaga，真的好市侩啊，没搞明白毛利怎么会入了她的套
2.5。導演和所有的演員像是沒有看過完整劇本一樣，機械地呈現著一個個孤立的片段。片段之間的情緒斷裂程度令人咋舌。此外，主創對於通過配樂所達成的間離喜劇效果同樣缺乏自信度。
故事有吸引力，但拍得很平淡。雷导还是去拍科幻或者恐怖片把。
作为对Gucci几乎一无所知的穷人，觉得这部电影真的挺好看的，几分钟就洒一捧狗血，大家演得也莫名可爱。
gaga和driver格外出彩（妈呀坐拥klimt的画！被壕到了（有点旧时代风彩
剧情跟流水账一样，没有丝毫惊喜！感觉就是演员冲奖作品，gaga演的不错这次会提名吧但要说封后总觉得还是差那么一点。另外记得古驰家族有莱托少爷，可是电影看到一半了一直找不到他人？还纳闷他演的是那个角色，然后想不会是paolo吧？一查还真是…😱欧美大帅哥演员太善于“糟蹋”自己了！
荡气回肠的豪门家族悲剧史诗，主要角色没有一个讨喜的，雷老爷子冷眼看着这一家人彼此斗个鱼死网破，最后便宜了外人。时代的潮流不可逆，古驰家族的衰落也是必然，败给了资本，败给了市场发展的必然
Gucci家族的兴衰本是一场大戏，而简化为一个女人的戏，女性视角大概也是导演斯科特的路径依赖。他的野心可能是一部“教父”，但结果是爱恨情仇，彪悍女性对懦弱男性的仇杀，好老套无趣。
28.11.2021 | @ Regal Majestic | 好久没有一个人看电影了，真是挺自在的。大半程都在花痴脸磕司机和嘎嘎，这荧幕情侣也太登对了，我哗哗流口水暗自尖叫。
服化道十分精致，里面每一个人都在熠熠生辉。可惜剧本太乱，像一串串脚印，观众不知道跟着哪个走。摄影有意思，暗光摄影，无缝衔接的黑白。
为了adam看到底。。剧情真的重点不分。。差的有点远啊和以前的水平啊啊啊啊啊啊
看着看着就忘记是在看电影了，创造一个百年屹立不倒的大品牌太不容易，甚至是用鲜血铺路。
一个失败人物刻画的典范，行动动机不能理解，角色不值得观众付出任何情绪，唯独lady Gaga演的女人还挺讨厌的，想给她肥肚子两拳
为什么雷德利.斯科特不去搞异形还天天拍这种好莱坞流水线式无聊传记片？？亚当司机真的是丑到无论他演得有多好我都不希望他继续拍电影的程度。最好的依旧是阿尔.帕西诺，当然不出所料。（另，司机和嘎嘎在这里面的床戏可以与罗南和凯特在菊石里的共同列入影史灾难了吧）
我願看鴨蛋德賴弗演一百個不一樣的丈夫角色，重點在於他演的每個角色的床戲部分總給人一種他非常專情只愛眼前人的感覺。他簡直是萬金油丈夫角色…
拍摄和剧本如此意大利抓马，俗辣艳丽，骄傲整全。改了一些细节确实效率更高了，也把她变成了彻底的捞女😓选角真的非常厉害，服化道的优秀就不说了。好久没有看得这么爽的电影了，在电影院被粉丝的尖叫包围了也不介意😂为爱极生恨的大姐忿忿不平，被一家扶不上墙的阿斗拖累一生。搞什么血统论，她难道不是最懂Gucci吗，金句连连眼光毒辣，她来当CEO联合tom ford说不定有新天地！开头结尾的命案太美了……雷啊你多拍拍杀人吧。
本来挺抓马的豪门恩怨，居然剧作上这么流水账，没什么起伏，回头想想觉得没啥内容，但又拍了两个半小时，而且几乎没有什么衔接和铺垫的戏，转场都特别突兀，好的是电影质感，演员们的表现，和配乐，大场景调度看起来都很舒适，具有美感，从家族企业到整个品牌没有一个古驰姓的人在这个企业，挺让人唏嘘的，哦希望有天能买得起它，还有嘎嘎好棒好棒！
哈哈哈哈以为富贵宅男很好捞结果自己爱到不行的Lady Gaga实在出乎我意料。男人的变心模版戏，坏事都是太太指挥做的，自己没本事只擅长逃跑，人到中晚年终于变成自己爹的样子也只信自己爹留下的遗言，翻脸不认人和废物点心教科书了。
