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.
大家都多少有点子不太正常。
如果你想看个精彩绝伦的高分电影，那这部显然不是，如果你觉得这是个胡编乱造的圈钱的垃圾，它也不是。和前段时间的不要抬头很像，无厘头和讽刺，整体观感不如前者，但是真的能看，你当他是一个超长的snl都可以，精神涣散也能看，轻松愉快，不烧脑，而且大家的演的不错不会看睡着那种。
看见别人说是小成本的电影，加一星吧，感觉一般
很少有让我觉得难看得看不下去的电影 原谅我没看完就来打星 我只是想标记一下自己的感受
虽然作画确实很绚烂，场面感很强，但是我这把年纪已经喜欢不来这种靠喊和对波怼拳的热血小学生动漫了，很多动机太简单，打斗也不动脑子，没有太多新鲜感和刺激感，自己真的已经老了……
要是放到现实中，女的早gg了。
片子本身并没有什么亮点 但是放在当下这样一个以隔离为题材的喜剧片居然如此写实 家人离世不能离开剧组 突发疾病没有专业医护人员照料 想私自逃离遭到射杀 等等 估计主创并没有想讽刺什么 因为他们压根想不到现实能如此荒诞
和正剧实习的剧情连上值得好评，可惜还是落不了剧场版的俗套
这部喜剧片讲述了在疫情之下，一群男女演员被困于酒店的“泡泡”中，并试图完成一部关于飞行恐龙的动作系列片续集。
很好笑，跟多双关，要对美国发生的事情有一定了解才会get到更多笑点吧。
看完有点燃，让我来梳理一下这个篇幅结构......开篇用全员出动索敌引入主要矛盾势力，然后内部的反派间谍引发了deku和洛迪的惊悚逃亡戏，紧接着是双主角的公路温情戏，最后收束到喜闻乐见的救世大战环节。这个叙事节奏（特别是前2/3部分）不禁让我怀疑是在看复联时期的漫威电影（美队2呢）或者碟中谍这样的电影= =。虽然这些桥段在类型片里并不新鲜，但这是bo ku no hero academia的剧场版啊！拍得简直像是在前者的基础上巧妙地融入了你英的背景和元素，相比第二部剧场版rising的剧本，层次丰富了不止一个档次。最后的战斗自然免不了骨头社一段秀技术的战斗演出，duku的极限表示：你还要突破我多少次才肯收手？psss小范围的侦查个性英雄（点名章鱼和耳朵）真的有点尴尬，大场合下的发挥空间是越来越小了。
一般般，剧情也感觉一般般不难看，也不突出。算是一部中规中矩的正常电影，低成本能做成这样子也很不错了
网飞出的此类电影真的是美国网大，只不过明星多，所以可以看，然后看完再骂它烂。
太难看了，怎么会这么难看……而且也不好笑，我呆坐两小时就为了看这……漂亮老婆都没法救这电影了
小女孩超可爱。一个吸毒母亲感悟过世奶奶期望改过自新的救赎故事。
真的很尬 既不黑色幽默也不屎尿屁搞笑 从头到尾不知道在干嘛 一美为啥要客串这种片啊 看到才反应过来星云这身眼熟的原因是因为跟勇敢者游戏没差 说真的吐槽这类型的片子不请巨石强森真是一大遗憾
什么年代了，还有从里面打不开的门，房子是老，但好歹换把双向的锁呀，每次开门用块砖头挡门也不嫌麻烦。阿美利卡也真是能将就。
太久不看这个系列了，不少都忘了。反正就是角色众多，一顿乱打，也跳不出套路了
被疫情逼疯的剧组…… 同样是隔离，人家吃的真好……
好了好了，爹咪别秀了。
