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.
了不起的cp哈哈哈售后真的牛 床我能盘出浆
3.5 把troye拍得实在太好看了，这个角色和troye的适配度不要太高。但故事还是青春类型片的套路，不过几个演员演得还是真不错，能看到Ellen Burstyn也是很惊喜。
是不是每个天才导演都想挑战下莎翁剧，不过有黑泽明的珠玉在前，科恩这个形式感玩儿得稍显呆板，完全把精力压在了构图摄影这些技术层面上，文本和人物就没什么创意，华盛顿挺卖力但不对味，身上没有暴君感。
How can I not love ya💘
虽然男主lives with enough shit already，但我还是经常笑的像个神经病，幽默的表达太合笑点了。
To love. Regardless of fear.
好喜欢这部电影的色调！而且竟然有胶片相机混入其中也是很惊喜了，每次看到Caleb举起相机对着Estha都很代入。爆米花游乐场 帆布鞋上的签名 超市沙冰 双人自行车 佛罗里达的海边仙女棒 好甜好喜欢哈哈哈哈哈
白人、印度人、亚裔、黑人、犹太人、宗教、男同、女同、艾滋病毒携带者、爱情、友情、亲情。这是一部集各类政治元素、价值元素、电影元素大全的电影吧。
丹泽尔华盛顿与弗朗西斯麦克多蒙德演技大秀。文绉绉的台词，不做太大改编的故事，毫不遮掩的舞台剧模式，简洁有力的黑白舞台设计，都很好，但都让本片呈现出“有价值但多少有点无趣”的感受。

HIV没有打败他 反而是最亲近的人差点杀死他 还好生活总有希望不是吗
十分精致的实景舞台剧，对白，走位，布景都是舞台剧风格，只有更精美的构图属于导演，但是对于½的科恩，这点也完全不够啊
虽然充满话剧感的莎剧确实让人犯困，但绝妙的黑白光影，冷峻简洁的建筑美学和两位主演神经质的表演又令人看的心旷神怡。
抽象的置景，抽象的配乐，抽象的摄影，抽象的剪辑，抽象的道具，目的就是让观众所有的焦点都聚集在角色身上，借助了一些舞台的调度，感受每一个角色的内心情感以及戏剧张力，电影里所有的一切都是为角色服务的，包括黑白，甚至环境音。这种影像探索初衷是好的，但实际成果如何还有待商榷，个人并不喜欢丹泽尔华盛顿这次的演出，特别是当他生气的时候设计的动作，佝偻着腰双手弯曲，看着特别不舒服。
室外舞台剧，画面出彩，剧情乏味，大段哲理对白貌似伯格曼附体。极简又不极简，精致又不经典，都在照本宣科的走台。6.2
可惜我没怎么读过莎翁作品，希望今年有时间补。黑白画面真美，布景和摄影也好似舞台剧。
还不错。青春片就是要谈恋爱，戳演起这个角色比甜茶顺手的多（怀疑本人就是在tla）以及可以想象到霉霉看到电影气到半夜三点爬起来写歌骂戳的场面了（不
夏天有很多悲伤，夏天也有很多快乐，夏天有很多得到，也有很多失去。夏天的遗憾是谁也比不了的满足。
4:3 黑白画幅，极简的布景，以及光影和大理石构造出来的对称工整的构图，保证了极高的观赏性和舒适感。可是晦涩生硬的台词和一丝故作深沉的表演，让影片本身便成舞台剧，表演痕迹过重 @AppleTV+
用电影的形式表达舞台剧的内核是真的别扭啊，没有戏剧中演员和观众的交互感，也没有电影给人带来的沉浸感，是因为用电影的拍法去拍摄舞台剧的表演是比较难让人沉浸的，电影本身是个旁观疏离的视角，舞台剧的演员都是放大型演技，在转型饰演电影时往往要往回收一些，就和我之前看《万尼亚舅舅》一样，当演员直视着镜头一张巨大的脸放在面前时，反而会因为冲击力过强而沉浸不进去，而这个片子犹其，更喜欢ntlive的拍摄方式，是如临现场的观看模式，而不是电影式的拍法。当然瑕不掩瑜，舞台剧式的布景和打光、气氛渲染以及画面构图都很美，用于电影上是一种创新性的尝试，有几处光影的运用让我想起《公民凯恩》，科恩嫂和丹泽尔华盛顿的演技也是无可挑剔。
