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.
很会处理这些细腻的小情绪
一代有一代的纯爱。在我看来就是《一公升眼泪》+《恋空》的合体。感动是有的，属于回味前叙那两个作品年代的感官残留而言。不过话说回来，日式纯爱的制胜必杀技其实并不于内容在同类作品中脱颖而出（内容决胜那就超越题材的比拼了），而是主角之间的化学反应和拥有日式青春特有的初恋脸。（当然这部两人的脸我是吃的尤其是小松菜奈，我的爱）
好平淡哦，坂口健太郎和小松菜奈一点cp感没有，直接换天津玄师吧
夜里的飞虫啊。
虽然是日影纯爱片中常见的绝症题材，但是没有预想中不加节制的催泪场面，反而非常平淡，非常克制，但也太白开水了些，甚至到最后都希望能有一场哪怕洒狗血的高潮。两个多小时的时长，亲情爱情友情居然都没有渗透。结尾樱花树下的坂口是唯一拍的好看的镜头，这样一想，好像连两位主演的美貌都没有好好利用。最后，男主的人设真的好无趣。
像mv，这类题材本来真的很喜欢，但是拍的真的一般！但是很喜欢黑木华和坂口！！
还是那种没有太大起伏而且还长的邦画 但谁会在真人真事上多追求高潮迭起呢 还不是【路看得到尽头 但还是不想走完】
好平淡哦，坂口健太郎和小松菜奈一点cp感没有，直接换天津玄师吧
整体来说是值五颗星的，为这帮年轻又有才华的导演献上我的膝盖。绘本动画电影虽然概念蛮新的，但是几个单元故事里所讲述的主题是普世的，所采用水墨、剪纸等技法也是一种返璞归真，这样就有一种很奇妙的化学反应，像是在读一篇篇散文诗，回味悠长，后劲很足。强烈安利《萤火虫女孩》这个故事，手绘的风格本身就很治愈，小女孩和司机大叔的对话也让我很感动，可能我们每个人都会迎来落幕的时刻，但其实我们是别人的摆渡人，别人可能也在渡我们。
藤井道人并未在类型片上有所突破，但是完成的已经够好了，在看过无数纯爱片的前提下还是被催泪成功。
小松太美了 美女连鼻梁痣都是氛围感#整部电影最感动的地方是滑雪回来以后小松抱着妈妈哭 说自己想再活的久一点 在爱人面前可以假装坚强笑着说再见 在妈妈面前才能任性的说自己也不甘心 也想活下去 太戳我了😭
其实大家都在讨论国产动画电影该如何原创和创新，但这真的是需要勇气和魄力的。为这些动画人的勇气和魄力点赞。
快进看的 男女主原本这么好看的人 拍的却这么无聊
不觉得女主很自私吗？瞒着男主实情和他谈恋爱，充实了自己的人生经历，然后写成书。好心机。
《向着明亮那方》是一部难得的手绘动画片，还具有水墨画风，很好看又充满童趣和求知欲，非常适合低龄儿童观看。小朋友一定喜欢，推荐家长带适龄儿童去影院观影。
小松菜奈和坂口健太郎是史上最合适拍Vlog的二人
好久没看过这种画风了，好喜欢，其实成年人也需要童话。
排片稀少但是真的好看！本来有点被题材分类劝退，奈何小伙伴非要看，结果居然出乎意料的好看！惊喜！只有你内心深处还有那么一颗童心，还对自己的童年留有一丝美好的回忆，这部七合一的动画电影就值得一看！！！
【1.5】果然被拍得俗套又廉价，甚至你根本不知道两个人的情感从何而来，总之稀里糊涂就开始铂爵旅拍了，Nana酱再美也无济于事啊。
虽然后半场不间断地哭了一个小时，但也只是一部口味纯正到一点新意也没有的爱情日影。有点无法评价这部片子，像是在评价某某的死亡，让我觉得很愧疚。哎演员总能说两句吧，坂口健太郎飞速从漂亮小男孩变成霓虹的某个长相周正的路人。
