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.
呃，既然标榜宽容与多样为何做了个如此平庸又典型的白男英雄故事呢？
《光年正传》虽然补充了一下巴斯光年的由来，但只是停留在合家欢爆米花电影上，友情与合作这一核心不知被玩过多少遍了，留下的只是老套。
黑人女同，其实还好吧…不到10秒的画面。整体情节略单薄…主角团不行。
剧情乏善可陈，传统的太空版美国队长+不靠谱菜鸟队友打倒反派的故事。看完唯一想说的是，又能卖萌又功能多多的机器猫哪里找？
情懷分很高，畢竟這是我當年最喜歡的皮克斯系列之一，Toy3更是首臨當地影院的初紀錄。雖然這個不會變老的Lightyear還是一股爹味，但看著身邊的人老去壞去的一場場離殤，終究是「醉笑陪公三萬場」的過程。希望愛的人陪伴會更長久。
感觉有点无聊，说了个啥呀？可以说是此心安处是吾家，也可以说是闭关锁国才是生存之道？可以说是天生我材必有用，也可以说是遇到猪队友就忍着？人物的转变太突兀了，而且这个转变跟toy story里的Buzz也不一致啊。整个电影就是不断地被stuck 在各种地方，不断stuck, 不断stuck，看得人憋死了，就等着最后飞出个黎明呢，结果……就这？就这？唯一的亮点是，宇宙的终极答案是撸猫。
想象力的缺失是当下美国动画电影最大的问题。
属于看了开头就能知道结尾的类型。借着The toys的皮说了一个基本上毫无关联的宇航员故事，可以说是非常无聊了。
Pour un film dans film, Buzz l'éclair consiste à donner chair et os à un jouet iconique en lui offrant plus de consistance dans son humanisation. L'aventure sur laquelle nous emmène Buzz fait plus partie d'un processus de dé(re)composition du personnage vers un modèle immortel qui apprend à accepter l'aide d'autrui et vaincra avec une équipe de bras cassés aux gags répétitifs. On est loin d'un récit de science-fiction bien ficelé sur le temps et l'espace mais quelques éclats d'ici et là nous suffisent pour passer un bon moment divertissant
有猫就是正义，何况还是一只全能的会算燃料问题的自充电型机器猫，哔啵哔啵。zap zap ！
光年带全员探索未知星球，遭遇问题困在星球，数次光速试验回来却看到一代代的朋友离去，终于在小狗机器人帮助下试验成功，回来却面对外星机器人入侵，结果对抗的是变老的自己，那个依旧想补救措施回到过去的自己，与现在并不想改变过去接受朋友们的自己，直到她的孙女也长大成人陪在自己身边才最终领悟到，身边的人也一样重要，最后包括好友孙女等人帮助下战胜敌人并成为新的太空游侠，看的过瘾，舒服，温馨。
这显然又是一部基于精细商业考量的迪士尼动画——与自我和解的安全普适主题、时空穿越的潮流科幻元素、屡试不爽的讨喜玩偶角色——简直不能更匹配合家欢观影诉求了（姑且无视LGBTQ）。尽管剧情无惊无喜，个人仍然给予推荐评价：一为巴斯光年的情怀加成；二为精致细腻的机甲设定，期待小队全员模型。
现在怎么还会有故事和科幻想象如此陈旧的作品
我不相信安迪因为这部电影喜欢上巴斯光年，而我确实因为这部电影想泳有sox
片头字幕不打自招，如果你觉得这部片子情节保守、了无新意，没错，这是1995年一个玩具的背景设定电影。
看预告片时还以为是太空歌剧，看来还是我高估了迪士尼，这就是一部标准工业化电影，不咸不淡，毫无滋味。
一个动画的番外，特效居然制作的这么好！剧情一般，菜鸡队友常常让我血压升高，片尾有些俗套，但是是好看的！
C+就中规中矩吧，预料之中，没惊艳到我，开始我以为是星际穿越那种，后面又打打杀杀了，挺一般的
前半段几乎可以给满分，血脉喷张的光速穿越，机灵卖萌的机器猫， 后半段从第二个巴斯出场就开始俗套了，但欢快的节奏和满满正能量，还是很愉悦的看完1个小时45分享！
皮克斯+《玩具总动员》番外+人气角色巴斯光年正传电影，这三重buff叠加在一起拍出这么一部中规中矩的电影，两个字：失败！
