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.
英格兰版的黄粱一梦 无法获得勇气 无法成为骑士 是因为付出求回报 见色而忘义 贪生而怕死 既然怕死 就让你见识一下你的美好未来 成为国王 抛弃爱人 迎娶贵族 儿子战死 最后自己也人头落地 见过种种虚妄 终于六根清净 迎接命运 怎么说呢 电影和原版故事已然不同了 居然通向了佛禅文化 拍的也很美 戴着斧子去旅行 倒是让我想起了林克
如果对中世纪文学意象和传说背景不熟悉，理解这部电影确实很有难度。整个电影像一部瑰丽奇幻的骑士版爱丽丝梦游仙境，狐狸、无头少女、巨人、城堡，都是骑士传奇故事中常见的自省象征，我倾向于把高文的这段旅途理解为彼得潘的成败交杂的成人之路，最后戛然而止的黑屏可以说是点睛之笔。一切浩大终究归于一瞬的醒悟，独立、责任，这些大人的东西，回顾起来，往往都是瞬间觉醒的。
兽心质朴，元亨利贞；人心莫测，无贞利亨。
看着看着就开始哼
看的时候和男主一样时不时就恍惚了，不是看不懂，是真的走神了
如果它绽放在我们的皮肤下 我们将它挤压出去
我们在寻找一个全新的自己，但最终可能更喜欢老的那个自己。不过，不得到什么的话，谁在乎失去什么呢？一首诗改编成一部电影，看到的，全是诱惑。听到的，全是谜底。
每次去dt都会路过依托比克的cineplex，好像今年半年都挂着一个很大的这部的海报而我一直以为是个什么超英片（。倍速看就还行 成为骑士的历练
钦定感好重啊，有种别的骑士都死光了的感觉（。画面还挺美，巨物爱好者福音

7/10 、如果对中世纪传说不太了解的话，强烈建议看完电影再看一下相关的解析
看不懂，大段大段的对话，真的跟读长篇宗教小说的感觉一样，太艰涩了。
7/10 画面摄影配乐plus 结尾还是好猜了一点 看完满脑子都是男主🐍的比wyf都快
工整严肃，美术和彩色美的令人发指，故事有着一种介于寓言和圣经中间的逻辑关系，不过不了解历史和宗教背景久不妄加揣测了，一部艺术品，这才是A24该有的品质。
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。
也自小看了不少欧洲童话，但还是很多地方get不到源点。可能是因为都是走马观花，没有在那种文化中浸泡过的缘故吧~ 不过确实把童年的时候看欧洲童话的那种感觉给视觉化和具象化了，很强的似曾相识感觉~ 演员演技在线，画面用光与布局考究，音乐既优美又点睛，尽管作为异国人很多梗与线没能领会，但还是值得给个高分的~
视觉上太棒了，虽然有奇怪的宗教背景，但是A24太契合我的审美了，怎么高级怎么来。舞台剧般的台词让故事更加神秘，就是特效的绿有时看着太假了
堂吉诃德啊，世界瞪视着你可怜地冲刺，你所能得到的最好评价，就是不置可否；
应该是目前看过A24片里，感觉最莫名其妙的片了。
像一首诗 晦涩而神秘 节奏缓慢 很多典故不知道看的云里雾里 可能就是想要突出这种千人千理解的感觉吧
