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.
一开始就猜到凶手，但没想到Book和侍女也会被杀，有些可惜，爱让人疯狂
⒈真的没想到，竟然在网络大电影中，发现这样一部情节紧凑，动作精彩，剧情还算说得过去的电影，真是给我很大的惊喜，尤其是最后客车决战，充分利用狭小空间，让本片的精彩程度提升了一个档次，而且前面的动作设计也很干净利落，可以说是网大中的精品了；
密西西比上的惨案（❌）这片改名叫《赫克利波罗的失败》算了，上一次看到这种要救的都没救下来还把自己老婆本赔上的侦探还是夏洛克福尔摩斯（？？？？？ 最后还是只有百合存活的世界达成了。且不说这选角造成的富婆果然瞎了的感觉更明显了，侦探自己的部分有啥意义？？？？对天放枪我以为我看尼罗河上的李云龙啊？？？？？真是狗屁不通的融合人物毫无意义好吗。
开场以为误入1917，波洛前史基本另开了同人小说，最大的亮点可能是追风筝的人？多条爱情线有些过于泛滥，反而失去了阿婆出其不意的深情浪漫，可能导演本来也无意展开推理过程，加入了不少喜剧冒险元素，每次搬运尸体的女童子军和最后的木乃伊终极cos都有点诡异的恶趣味。
艾米汉莫不行啊……布拉纳还是那么喜欢给自己加戏
2.5 明明是一部推理片，却变得全片最不重要的就是推理，呵呵这类型“格式”倒是很符合现在的潮流；上一集就收获很多吐槽的胡子这集居然为了解释“成因”，特意在片头加了段《1917》一般，废戏之多可见一斑，吃偶数甜点不吃奇数的并不能增加菠萝的个性，可能考虑到演员片酬和号召力的原因，加戏加到头重脚轻节奏不均，拉美西斯二世陵墓之类的各种“大”场面看上去是挺美的，可是导致抽丝剥茧的剧本严密性沦为空谈；不过恭喜梅芙上大银幕了！【特意影城装修前最后一天来看，观影环境实在是…不该来瞎凑热闹的.....
这剧情拍成了超级英雄片啊……而且这么多基层干部都落网了 他老丈人怎么好好的……但打戏太硬了 看来是对标港式武打。下次找个好编剧吧
很接地气，有生活的质感，虽然人物、情节比较简单，打戏挺过瘾。
开头一段讲留胡子的原因还是挺惊喜的。看过1978年版本的所以并没有什么好猜的。画面好美，看得更想去埃及了。
1、开场戏很有近年国产战争大片的样子……2、各平台都把ross前妻的les戏删了，结果电影院里光明正大演同性情侣，还是正面角色，嘿嘿，想不到吧 3、虽然小时候看过各种版本，但直到往腿上开枪我才想起整个剧情，对不起… 4、《长夜》的故事永远在发生
真是如坐针毡的两小时，盖尔加朵都救不了了。虽然不是阿婆粉丝，也算是体会到了什么是魔改……尼罗河风光很美，但是太过于清晰的画质，就会失去质感。盖尔加朵美和气质能做富家女，是两个概念。电影开篇的1937年，多么黄金的一个时期，可是电影丝毫没有历史的厚度和回味的空间。东方快车太挤了，没有电影语言也就算了。尼罗河整个篇幅都没有一处精心的场面调度……东方快车还有两首歌值得回味，尼罗河连个漂亮衣服都没有。琳内特的大钻石，一定是莫桑石。
阿加莎的原著本来就不是重本格推理的，剧情平铺直叙的还算能看吧，但和埃及的实际风景出入较大，不要当风景宣传片。几首布鲁斯插曲倒是挺好听的。打算去补一下78年原版。
纽约赘婿好丑 难以想象社交网络里的他和现在的他是同一个人 梅芙和加朵为什么不在一起 美女就应该贴贴 加多一个人在里面操着一口美音
医院和公交车的两场动作戏相当可以。谢苗照这个痞子英雄风格的路线走下去也不错。挑个刺，配乐和音效是重灾区，音效师绝对有偷懒的成分，枪战音效廉价不说，居然还能出现声画脱节这种最基本的错误。
后面案件有人死了我和我妈马上就知道凶手是谁。。。
肯尼爵都把菠萝的胡子给剃了，这片居然还能有及格分。。。说明🍍在窝巢真的没粉啊哈哈哈
和目中无人一样质量很高，没多少废话讲，节奏也很快
意外的好看，简单流畅，是一种思路，简单的介绍下犯罪分子的流程，然后就开始抓人，没《警察故事》《警察故事2》那么多虐心的画面和纠结的选择，希望以后继续拍下去，把释小龙也拉来搞个东北警察宇宙
动作设计够精彩，拳拳到肉。就是反派三兄弟都是路人脸，没气场没魅力。
1.非原著党，所以也没有原著党的愤怒，甚至觉得IMAX版作为旅游宣传片还特别爽。
