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.
这片我居然去电影院看了，我大概真的很爱大神（不是。。。感觉2不如1有趣~
再谈谈暴露的问题
大牌雖多，但劇情混亂雜章，時間還長，無意思。
2022.6.3@百度网盘 就是看看热闹，破案和犯案一样离奇
不太好看 前面还行 后面很仓促很离谱 甜心果然老了，发型也不适合她，显脸胖，希望不要再拍第三部了，甜心的角色就是个固执的麻烦鬼
很烂，我们的麻酱老婆，你们的大神老公，嗯，那又如何？毫无cp感。然后，尤其厌恶那个转场镜头，毫无意义，而且不止一次使用，被称为无技无法的技法。至于剧情，推理破案？一塌糊涂的无聊作秀。整个剧情松散离谱还不如某些年轻导演处女作。唯一可看处恐怕就是期待各女配角们的出现吧！
两星半。虽然比上一部来说有了整体性，但频繁的切换人像显得太混乱了，而且这次的案件动机和作案手法解释的都比较牵强和杂乱不知道是不是篇幅的原因。之前看第一部的时候还比较期待后面两人的发展，现在看这个系列就到此为止吧挺无聊的了
中村安出现的作用是啥？最后在教堂居然不是第一时间去看被害人有没有死亡让我觉得好离谱。。。
不是剧情配不上华丽的阵容，原著就是如此的，不过还是要感叹一句麻生久美子真的很适合这角色！
假面之夜和假面饭店有着同一种风格和同样的缺点，但前作本身就有这样那样的问题这作依然没解决，就剧情片里来说不算好看。以及这集比上集男女主的cp感更弱了。
其实套路和第一部差不多，凶手混在酒店一堆奇奇怪怪的客人中，卡司也一如既往的炸（dui）裂（qi），但就是觉得不如第一部，大概是这部节奏实在太拖沓，为了麻酱（虽然圆了但还是美的）勉强四星吧。最近看的三部霓虹作品竟然都有麻生姐姐，从警察到律师到凶手，造型没怎么变身份大转变。作案手法暂且不提，动机完全是意料之外&情理之外，简直就是为了让凶手是凶手强行编一个动机。东野圭吾这些年笔耕不辍但是真的江郎才尽惹，这个系列就不要有第三部了吧蟹蟹。
顶级牌面，少了个好本子，真像是业内朋友圈玩票
剧情推进跟前一部一模一样…麻美面相更加老气跟大神反而不配，cp感0
中间看睡着了，不过颜值可看（一直以规则活着，那慢慢的规则会变成活着的意义）
笑死，凶手有钱住酒店没钱买表是吧，实在不行你看看手机也行啊……节奏倒是比上一部纯酒店宣传片要好些
依旧是麻酱跟风被害的结局，也没有拍出麻酱的美
比上一部在电影里面穿插肥皂短剧好一点，至少有整体性了，节奏和结构也舒服一点，但是整体上依然是挺没劲的，不论是警察的执意调查还是酒店的坚持都属于没话找话，推理部分依然是东野圭吾特有的蛋疼，只能说导演和演员救了很多。
没有前作好看 手表的伏笔也许是唯一的亮点了吧 不仅犯罪原因莫名其妙 后来交代的也非常不清楚 另外谁说作为男性生活就要一定会跳探戈的？所以开场中村アン收尾又跑回まさみ是有什么我不知道的转折吗？请让我大吼一句：跑去电影院脱了裤子（并不）你就给我看这个？！
凶手用定时器杀人，结果自己不带表，看受害者的表定时，笑死，那要都没戴表咋办？
书也读过，不算是东野圭吾非常的作品，这部电影也是，可以看也可以不看。演员阵容豪华，但剧情说真的也一般。
