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.
两星半。男主角类似夜魔侠的能力设定缺少说服力，故事挺套路，女主角演的有点太用力，但作为网大，该片的动作设计、摄影、调色有院线范儿。
剧情设定还是一如既往的善良战胜邪恶，菲拉萌的甜甜圈形象贡献了不少笑点，是小朋友会喜欢的电影。
这战的，盲着和不盲有啥区别？ 上一次写个xia，有的人还举报一下，我也真是服了。xia和盲两个汉字，竟然xia被鄙视了，认为不雅？xia子阿炳，，我看他也得改成盲子阿炳了。也许是因为1星吧，这次改成5星了，力荐烂片一下。
很美式的中国动画，居然没比一只渡渡鸟了解历史，跨物种恋情，居然还能有后代
比较轻松愉快的电影，让我比较心疼的是白颂德的经历，如果人们对某件事情有过多的偏好，而社会又忽视另一方，可能就会导致不公和心理阴暗。像白颂德这样，没有菲拉萌的世界他才能活，才能避免被免费的赠送，那更多的是社会要关注的问题。而且菲拉萌仅仅是因为可爱就获得很多喜爱，有点像鼓励当下追求容貌的环境，如果可以体现多一些菲拉萌的努力和优势，立意会更好。
节奏和人物是亮点，可惜剧本跟演员不太行。
跳着看完的：不错的概念+有点噱头的明星+糙但是对付的过去的调度+看似酷炫实则并不贴切的技术运用+快节奏不用细想逻辑的剧情+草草结尾。女主有点意思，安志杰反而毫无亮点。
十年难得一遇的网大精品，就打斗程度已值得四星
动作场面足以秒杀绝大多数国产院线片了，横向长镜头枪战设计尤为可观。剧情与人物稍显俗套，疯批人设是双刃剑。失明的设定被开发得不错，但也有开了金手指之嫌。以安志杰的形象和身手，值得更好的资源。
不仅剧情扯，连动作也毫无看点，是谁说的好看的？
这电影的套路已经看了八百遍了。
2021.10.3 来新开的奥体印象城的cgv来看 在大众抢的1元券不要太值！这个cgv也挺厉害有杜比 杭州三家cgv要么是IMAX要么是杜比是真厉害..
给小孩子看还是不错的
动作设计，无论是搏击还是枪械，刺激度都非常强。超强听力成为一种超能力，结合动作设计很有新颖性。反派疯批女很有性格特色，令人印象深刻。
节奏和人物是亮点，可惜剧本跟演员不太行。
不懂网剧什么标准，画面和设定貌似都有点意思，但编剧和剪辑乱七八糟！ 我感觉还能再好点。加一星吧
2021年10月17日；适合小孩子的合家欢的爆米花型动画片，部分瑕疵略打眼；无论是否考虑创作制作背景和档期情况，都是可以及格分数的片子，不过也无法更多了，先说不足，反派的安排有些生硬，结尾的蓝色环形蛋非常duck不必，以既定事实为切入点最后却无法解释客观世界并不存在物种的违和是至少me站在成年人角度上来看感到的最大败笔；至于台词的网络用语化确实也是存在不同感受度的争议之处，不过算不上缺点；优点还是不少的，值得表扬的发动故事的脑补能力/想象力首当其冲，技巧层面的对比，故事的运转以及逻辑的搭建，不再沉重的调侃，嘛，这一点要是最终能进化成自我调侃而不仅仅有所克制地自带私货就好了；制作方面没有明显地短板，和长板，惊艳或创意性分镜有限；临时却妥帖的安排要是爆米花和其后的午餐更美味就好了的NO.196…
故事有点像英伦往事的剧情，然后换了个主角，但是打戏拍的还是很有意思的，我觉得这个动导演啊，或多或少还是很讲究的，整个打戏看的，哎呀，很爽很爽，爽就完事了。
甜甜圈好可爱 看中了肚子是空心的这一点哈哈哈哈 还有 白颂德到最后都不知道自己是白送的 有点惨
一和二星之间，比上不足比下有余。N
