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.
还可以吧，推理悬疑感没那么丝丝入扣，但是观赏感还是合格的。绿幕感有点强，不过整体美术服化道还是不错的。其实才疏学浅的我也没太懂为什么大家对Kenneth的风评这么差。加朵凹了一下埃及艳后Cleopatra造型有点突兀了，与那位演歌唱家的女演员曾经在话剧舞台上表演的Cleopatra相比那真是相形见绌（就怪不得看电影的时候觉得她那么眼熟呢）。
這類型的片子也出現無聊到我看不下去的了 贊
虽然没看过原著的人表示风光还行，但是推理的那部分也太敷衍了，感觉是没预算了要一下子拍完...即使老年版的柯南也不带这样的。而且后面比前面要好看些，作为纯路人，为什么要让我们知道波洛的胡子的由来？（疑问脸） / 2022.2.20 SFC 港汇 RealD Cinema 4K Atmos
不选盖尔的都是脑子有坑!
充斥着自我满足的加戏和政治正确的意淫，本该好好处理的情节则四分五裂，添油加醋，难以自圆其说。啃泥对阿加莎完全误解之处正在于自作聪明地改掉最后一个死者拆散了那对旁观爱之悲剧后获得新生的情侣。波洛的故事从来不完全关于他，侦探只是折射万象，照出真相的镜子。可惜原作对人物的温柔在此变成了啃泥无尽的自恋。希望他老人家早日放过阿加莎并停止浪费胶片。

给波洛加什么二战前史的做法，简直太狗屎了，Kenneth Branagh也是过分自恋，这演的根本就不是我们波洛！
导演越老越帅 异域风光群星闪耀黑人布鲁斯都是加分项了 爱情令人冲动鲁莽 不过就算锤子胖了还吃人 第一眼也没有人能拒绝吧 系列电影请继续
布莱纳爵士的才华永远赶不上他的自恋程度，锤子哥忍辱负重的和女神做了三次再动手，真是委屈了。
怀疑就是全部卡司加编剧导演等人想公费集体去埃及豪华游一趟而已，除了埃及美景，实在是没有任何可取之处了
暴风雪山庄+大型连环杀人，行驶在尼罗河上的豪华游轮接连发生三起杀人事件，嫌疑最大的乘客却有着完美的不在场证明。最后侦探召集众人的环节是拿了把手枪威胁所有人不得离开… 揭晓的诡计和犯案动机都完全合情合理，（以下剧透） 原来这场婚姻从一开始就是假结婚，是诡计的一部分。我的婚姻会不会也是一个诡计？ 还会有令读者拍案叫绝的真相被揭开吗？我不由得期待起来。

总之是看一遍不会想再看一遍的版本，不如以前的版本。
新版看完让我不敢恋爱
就只是“把这个故事勉强拍出来了”，几乎没有在新时代给观众传递阿婆的魅力。镜头质感不错，但仅限开篇铺垫阶段，中间部分舞台剧感很强。推理，尤其最后的解密相当之弱，一个个审问本就是种古典办案手法，影片似乎也没指望带着观众抽丝剥茧只是赶流程。“爱情”这个主题几乎外露得要直接糊脸。头尾给波洛加感情戏完全不明就里，这个系列从《东方快车》开始，似乎就铁心要以平凡普通人的套路塑造最伟大的侦探之一。

阿婆迷暴走：这《尼罗河上的惨案》是针对《尼罗河上的惨案》的惨案！
改编得太可怕了，看完觉得想骂点太多，一时骂不完！
肯尼斯布拉纳以强烈的个人风格，以爱为主题，重新讲述了这起谋杀案。从小说中人性复杂的群像，对于女性角色丰富情感细腻的刻画，转为把焦点落在"爱如何令人堕落成魔"。用苦涩的爵士乐，浓郁狂野的视觉效果，烘托了爱与死的激情与恐惧。但是，林内特这个角色被弱化，使得整个故事失去了原本的魅力。
第一次看恐怖片这么好笑，除了画面很cult外剧情好迷惑
