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.
大片儿，泰米尔杀手竟然是大名鼎鼎的丹努什，而丹努什的动作戏竟然拍地相当不错。
演员演技常规在线，但也没有玩出什么花来，毕竟电影水平就摆在这，二者相辅相成，没有特别出彩的地方。女主安娜是真的好看。
低配版《谍影重重》，剧情俗套，但几场动作戏拍的还是可圈可点。
打得是很热闹，但这小姑娘真的很漂亮很抢戏啊，未来可期。
爽片合格，比谍影重重要fancy一些，但比不上john wick。有好几处攻击高司令的镜头出现了犹豫和滞缓，其他演员怕是不敢失手伤了他哦。
高司令帅不在脸，他举手投足，都用一种他标志性的优雅，别人学都学不来的那种
Chris Evans的角色也太蠢了吧……
普通爽片（也没很爽），Gosling依旧令人心动，Chris Evans搔首弄姿、秋波暗送真是骚死。
前半段还可以其实，尤其是开篇五彩缤纷火树银花的曼谷之战，作为动作片场景来讲颇有想象力，后面就每况愈下了，尤其是从布拉格开始，节奏控制有问题，打斗已经看得太疲劳了…
so boring……
啊，这种一切似曾相识的缝合感……最后一场打斗罗伊德小刀换手，不就是美队2里冬兵大战史蒂夫的招数吗？
抱着看动作爽片的期望看，可是动作戏部分又不是非常流畅那种，枪战场面也没什么太突出，就电车追逐那一幕追车戏拍得不错。高司令就一直耍帅，没队就一直gaygay的油腻样子，就安娜一直那么美！蛇姬倒是有点花瓶啊有点浪费~~
to网飞：有钱也别乱花啊！正如网友所言克里斯·埃文斯果然是周树人造型啊哈哈哈，罗素兄弟何必呢，简直是在力图证明美队2的成功不是自己的功劳....安娜妹子依然很能打，可怜的一堆莫名被破坏的好建筑好地方啧啧
这年头除了网飞，应该没有片厂投这种豪华卡司硬核动作片了吧，这么火爆的枪战追车不比超英给力？当然剧情是约等于无的，演着演着变成了飓风营救（呼叫连姆尼森）到最后永远有肉搏定律，但曼谷夜景、空中炸机、布拉格飙车和古堡大营救真的是太精彩了啊，要是把罗里吧嗦的文戏删掉一点就更爽了，请让罗素兄弟再搞几部这样大场面造福观众的片好不好
高斯林到底欠了多少钱啊，要接这部和【Barbie】。毫无剧情，只有些很刻意的“看点桥段”，酷刑戏、高空跳伞戏、被铐手铐枪战戏，但每一段都仿佛是擦边。酷刑戏小儿科、跳伞戏、枪战戏全是光环加满，除了设计了一个看似危险的氛围，仍然是主角buff叠满，单手以一敌多。不愧是大数据写出来的剧本，形似神不似。而为了区别美队伟光正印象的CE刻意出演反面角色，还是觉得用力过猛。【利刃出鞘】尚可接受，这部真实的油腻了。
Jessica Henwick美如画*__*
6.7分。脱离了漫威体系的罗素兄弟在影片的硬件层面上仍然表现出非凡的创造力，但是软件上却力不从心。这一届的影史票房最高四人组（两个导演罗素兄弟+两位编剧组合克里斯托弗·马库斯和斯蒂芬·麦克菲力）怕不是忘了有了先前20多部电影的铺垫自己才能拿到这个殊荣，而非《AV4》本身的质量有多么出彩。加之网飞令人诟病的大数据模式产出电影都缺乏灵魂，充分暴露了二位导演在叙事节奏上的问题（和AV4如出一辙），尤其是故事架构如此简单的情况下这种错误就显得更加不可原谅。
可能比《红色通缉令》还更失望一些吧，好歹《红色通缉令》还是给三位主角的个人魅力做了充分的展现，互相的化学反应也明显好过这一部。当然，更恨的还是罗素兄弟拿着这样的预算不思进取，真就是如大数据写出来的毫无灵魂的剧作。。
网飞前期宣称要打造成007级别的系列作品，但除了帅哥美女搭配以及不停的城市华丽转场有点照葫芦画瓢的意思，风格完全没有007系列的冷峻严肃，主角也没有邦德的魅力，连动作戏和节奏感都远不如导演之前的美队复联。不过降低期待和要求，也算是个不出彩也不无聊蛮养眼的爆米花电影。我正式宣布高司令的帅度在我心里超越了桃总！
so boring……
