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.
nonono,that’s not Anne. p.s if you’re not Phoebe, then don’t let your heroine talk to the camera.
以狂热影迷的姿态回溯原作，自反jump scare套路，成熟的化妆术令血腥效果加倍，顺带还科普了好莱坞当下爱搞的“requel”。FOR WES。
金惠允好适合这种锋芒毕露的角色 台词完全没在收敛的
1.实在受不了电影角色和观众直接对白。2.好drama。3.选角过于政治正确了。4.有些剧情发展没有解释清楚
老演员回归走了一个，不过结局不错没有让你失望，致敬经典
全程殷端午一条线走下去，有钱人可以尽情的把没钱人蹂躏，这个世界存在很多像女主这样的家庭，看电影的时候特别是女主被男学生殴打的时候，真希望有人站出帮帮她。
故事上已经很难有什么突破了 这个系列继续下去的价值仅存于作为元电影来解构不同时期的流行类型电影
恐怖力度一般般，但是有趣的地方在于这个案件是影迷策划的，电影台词里都是对这些经典恐怖电影的致敬和玩梗，更不用说还有对系列电影的旧事重提……也太好玩了！
劝导是我最爱的奥斯丁作品，没有之一。今天看了2022的翻拍，好痛苦，我希望美国人永远不要再翻拍英国经典文学作品。你们可以拍你们自己的女作家，拍狄金森还是带点尊重的。拍奥斯丁找了一个黑人演罗素夫人，我真的服气了。还有哪些给女主编了那么多自以为聪明的小动作和台词，人物性格都改了。我真的无语，无语到家了。我可以理解07版本女主演的有点自卑，新版的想要把女主内心的小叛逆演出来。但是现在改的不切现实，把19世纪未婚女性无法经济独立改成傻兮兮的追求爱情。把深刻的女性问题刷了一层糖果外衣。作品的立意都下乘了。
一开始觉得女主角不是心中安妮这样狡黠活跃的性格，看到后面，女主角不一直自白认真投入人物本身时觉得演绎得又毫无问题。结尾真的幽默又美好
以软重启的方式来解构"惊声尖叫"这个系列本身，偶有恐怖片的套路但却不落窠臼，迷影情结也让人大呼过瘾，粉丝对抗原作者的选题也很新颖(参照J.K.罗琳被哈利波特粉丝除名)，算得上一次不错的尝试了。最后结尾的" FOR WES"有些泪目，转眼韦斯·克雷文已经走了许多年了……
lucky them...what happens to Netflix quality...
后面剧情转的些许生硬，甚至有些荒诞离奇，但是有些台词还是很奥斯汀的
作为青春复仇片，人狠话不多，关键的推土机反而给本片后面变得挺B级的
Btw片尾曲好听
为什么要把奥斯汀改编成另一部流水线爱情电影…please show some respect并且不是所有影视作品都适合打破第四面墙
6分，这《惊声尖叫5》和《惊声尖叫4》可真是一对卧龙凤雏了。确实作为系列砍杀片基本的元素和致敬都有了，但评分可不会忽视剧情上的一大堆缺陷。我一直好奇，这个鬼面套装是什么能大幅度增加敏体力技的装备吗？为什么这么多拿枪的干不过拿刀的？为什么一个女警长能在光大化日之下被捅杀在自家门口，凶手还能悠哉悠哉地去刺杀女警长儿子？幸好凶手没有自残。最后，杜威警长虽然从第一部登场的时候傻乎乎的，但我们还是可以看出这个角色在这个系列中的成长。这种硬要去送的死法，我实在是为杜威警长感到惋惜。
老演员回归走了一个，不过结局不错没有让你失望，致敬经典
消费一把老粉丝情怀，其实现在新一代影迷看的东西太多了，雁过无痕，跟本没有咱当年那种资源相对匮乏时看到它像珍宝一样纳入记忆的珍惜之情
女主角像爱玛，确定还是劝导吗？看预告片我就有这种感觉，看完正片更是觉得改编太魔幻。
