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.
还是理想化了 现实毕竟太骨感 半个分神 天地就变了 往后余生 还是天各一方的好
A24一如既往的诡异晦涩，不看解读实在是看不懂

音乐和镜头都很有吸引力，用影像的语言呈现了值得回味的寓言故事。但另一方面奇幻场景比较保守，没有什么爽点。
讲述一位环保骑士踏上奇异之旅寻找真实的自我，最后看似差点没找着然后又找着了的故事
视听爆炸的一部佳作，当一个人在大屏电脑上观看时，《绿衣骑士》犹如要把人拉入史诗般瑰丽的世界，让深陷者沉沦在浩大而不可言说的伟大里。勇气是可贵的品质，胆怯与懦弱不值得推崇，不过远不如虚假的勇气更使人唾弃，高文骑士死在持斧者的斧下，才是正途。
真的好棒。大卫·洛维是我的菜诶。对那些对亚瑟王有很深了解的人来说，看这片估计会格外High吧？是一部“好看”的电影，很多隐喻看不出来，但单从美学和主题（学会赴死和骑士精神），认识本片后也不显得那么无趣。
一部集孩童的天真浪漫与成人的阴暗色彩的童话寓言，每一帧都是油画，每一个停顿都是诗章，铺面而来的复古风更是华丽，还是我喜欢的那个David Lowery。
不知道为什么评分不高，其实蛮好看的，小朋友也喜欢
Was David Lowery always this pretentious or he just hid so well I never noticed?装神弄鬼，毫无意义
PS：等一个人摘脑袋当球踢
摒弃生理刺激
目前IMDb评分6.0/301票，字幕已完成，转战下一个
看到Skywalker工作室的名字笑了，近期又一部音乐和音效主导叙事的惊喜；视觉奇观太少，荒原的骑行全景被浪费；字体花里胡哨的章节体出戏但是仿佛拥有intermezzo music，事实上每一处高潮戏份的起承转合皆由浓墨重彩的音效烘托，快速剪辑的绿衣骑士初次登场段落比结尾的幻想蒙太奇震撼数倍！可惜中段实在没有什么记忆点
没有宗教知识背景 看得云里雾里 看了第一篇影评后大概了解了各种隐喻

总算看了，喜欢，画面太美了，在奇怪的点被治愈了哈哈哈。
这女孩真好 她会比较轻易地原谅 这和家里的教育是分不开的
前面几段未免零碎（理解这个故事的难拍），后面才逐渐显露意图，David Lowery的鬼魅幽默仍在，但Gawain这个角色的层次却很难说丰富，缺乏魅力的漂流摆件，也许是Dev的演技也有责任，或是Vikander总是太过耀眼，配角总能演出抢光主角风头的气势，到最后徒留Lord那一吻带来了惊喜。
