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.
最后总结：二星，完全不理解给五星好评，称赞好看的人是蠢还是坏？是自卑的文化自信！
男女主也好 尚气爸妈也好
拍得太傻了，情感逻辑都是不对的，一颗星给梁朝伟，一颗星给出色的特效，一颗星给动作戏吧！
除了杨紫琼外，女演员就不能选个正常点的吗？
只要镜头给到梁朝伟，眼神表情都是戏，这个人太厉害了！
现在看到电影版就害怕，硬生生的撑不起一部电影时长啊
偶然下载的，竟然觉得还挺好看！很像小时候看小神龙俱乐部里《下课后》那种美国动画片，有欢乐有悬疑有吐槽，最后是经典的美式大团圆结局，配着麦记新出的卡滋脆汉堡看完了，yummy～
美式卡通的日常节奏，每个人都有点怪咖，每个人也都会有金子一样宝贵品质，等待自己去发现。
不得不说，漫威的套路稍微改改，人物关系变一下，就是另一部电影。尚气这片子和《黑豹》，我觉得没啥区别，现实社会没法做戏，就创造出一个世界，一个在非洲，一个在中国而已。至于所谓的中国元素，也仅仅体现在场景表象上。人物的行为依旧是为剧情服务的，各种形式化的决定与木讷，有点受够了。
好开心。好合格的爆米花。中文含量超高，而且说得其实还行，空耳能听懂，就是中文词儿里没啥演技，也没辙反正。动作设计非常不错，前60分钟有几场动作戏都干净漂亮，公交车上，澳门竹架上，还有角斗场里兄妹打那场，都很好看。顺提一句妹妹这个角色，好飒好slay。后一小时开始怪力乱神，不过老实说东方神兽们做的还是很好看的，咱东方龙就是比他西方龙俊，穿越竹林这里本来还以为会用一些五行八卦的东西，结果就是纯飙车，感觉很可惜(ง˙o˙)ว男主表现还行，就是最后跟爸爸有一个感情爆发点，我觉得没接住，反观梁生，就真的演太好了…
虽然剧情还是又不流畅和值得吐槽的地方，梁朝伟那个角色塑造真的很不错。新宇宙要开始啦 漫威又在下棋了doge
这部电影还不错，剧情挺好的，很搞笑，有点点感人，推荐观看
确实完全不好笑…… 但也能看不至于如坐针毡
剧情上是没有辱华的。不过国人的自尊心太强，恐怕看到中国人讲英语都会不舒服。事实证明选奥卡菲那当女主角是一个正确的选择，她几乎承包了这部剧的所有笑点，即好看的那些部分，除了她其余都是一般般。
乳不乳的先别说，找这俩人演男女主，而且还是梁朝伟和陈法拉生的，就是恶心观众，连公交车上的路人小姐姐都比俩主角好看🙄️明明配乐挺好听，特效也很美，镜头一转到尚气的脸就让人生气
如果你心中没有靶子，就是无的放矢。
2.KT确实需要这样长相的演员去表演，换个美女绝对没有搞笑效果[笑cry]不把她当女人看！
4.剧情就是迪士尼+图兰朵，太多说不通和费解，就不用去想通了，毕竟是外国人，拍给ABC看的。
其实还行，虽然挺刻板印象的。但是有个中国风的英雄也不错，还抓住了家族的力量和对父辈的叛逆。华裔小姐姐的性格我十分喜欢。
把中华的大家之爱和小家之爱拍得还是太浅薄了些，口号主义。
