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.
纯爆米花商业片也分有没有用心用脑拍的，本片显然是没有，而且装都懒得装
游戏改编烂片+1。请完荷兰弟是没钱了么，其他演员一水儿的路人脸，道具金子也都好假。在城市地下探险，机关没锈蚀，也没被城市改建损毁，就离谱。不过空中海盗这一段还挺有创意的，值得M一下。
是狐妖小红娘的漫粉，最讨厌毁番，真的，各个服装都不到位，除了名字叫狐妖小红娘，什么都不沾边。服了……，真不知道怎么演，尬死了

故事简单直接，剧情首尾呼应，整体流畅不乏味，动作场面和轻松细节也都不错，搭配层层解谜推进的模式，通片看下去还是挺有意思的，就是叙事结构有点弱。赫兰德是怎么小小年纪这么油腻的，搭伙的拉丁女孩处处透着成熟居然还真就是女孩，相比他俩更让我吃惊的是安东尼奥·班德拉斯。
即便是游戏改编也没能以新意开局，简单无脑，冒险刺激感不够，还埋个续集尾。荷兰弟演技还需加油啊。

来了三年没来的星河
7分吧，疆游一个月，最后两天补院线，喜欢过蝙蝠和炼爱。没玩过这款游戏，但或许就像以前不爱自己摸索，总依赖攻略打解密游戏一样，这片就是喂我这种懒惰玩家的奶嘴攻略吧。
有潜力成为一个能够衍生、触及更多可能的IP，对《夺宝奇兵》、《加勒比海盗》等诸多人气系列以及成龙、Dwayne Johnson等同领域出挑人物轻松无害的模仿与具有诚意的致敬也比较热闹。但明显的硬伤也伤害了这个前提：首先是对演员的大材小用（Antonio Banderas这里是），其次是最先给人勾勒只身步入世界的凶险以及关于成长的残酷童话，但这种揭示不断地被推翻又不断地被重建，成为更适合额外章节的“独行侠”以及重塑与Sully的关系会更加受益更多故事的进入。即使因为“他know/他不know”等诸多宣传期乌龙颇有微词，但真诚肯定为角色所注入的讨喜特质以及肯在塑造上下的功夫；或许不会再有一个“演员”，但可以是“明星”。
典型的游乐场电影，足够热闹，也不难看。但也就这样了。
汤姆赫兰德真是年轻有活力啊，身体矫捷有力，演戏也不差，就是有点地包天。马克沃尔伯格真的沦为配角了。
很喜欢狐妖系列，从漫画到小说一直追，幕后人员都很棒
本以为是寻宝电影，结果解谜环节烂到笑，全是那种问五岁小孩「墙上有个窟窿，小朋友们，钥匙应该插在哪里呢」，会得到「鞠萍姐姐你他妈逗我吗」回复的谜题。
当然，我不怀疑它依然能让国内观众买账。毕竟成龙现在也不惜得拍这样的片子了。
平心而论，真的不算难看的游戏改编。荷兰弟的Drake也比较忠实角色，还有Nolan North和顽皮狗的致敬，不知道游戏粉还有啥不满意的。
风格和之前的有差异，但是依然很符合其核心，愿大家都能得一人心
把主角团降智成儿童动画，各种逻辑不通
you wouldn't betray for a piece of this.
有点烂，但又说不好哪里烂。。。感觉蜘蛛侠有点误入了，但整体完成度又没啥问题，大概就是平庸吧，没什么惊喜
