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.
最后的绝杀每一个小伙伴都没有白死，坑，铁栅栏，电话，冰箱肉，密码锁。居然是可以看下来纯英文字幕的哎……
被最后的反杀惊艳到了，所有的电话提示都用到了，巧妙的编剧！
预告比正片精彩，影片想聚焦finney的求生和grabber的人物动机故事，导致没有重点，做的都一般，胜在较为新颖通灵形式。
第3617-死去的小孩比变态杀人狂还吓人。如果没有他们的帮忙，这小孩的反杀就太牛了。
“小伙伴”们齐心协力为男主创造生路的情节太感人了，都忽视了这是一部带有恐怖元素的片子了，兄妹俩的双向奔赴也很暖心，伊桑霍克这个酱油打得也太敷衍了。虽然不恐怖，但值得一看。
伊桑霍克怎么开始跟汤姆哈迪一样开始玩面具流了
所以兄妹二人都有超能力吗 一开始以为结局是黑暗的
一般，没有什么悬念，感觉一切都在情理中。同类型的可爱的骨头感觉更胜一筹。
这部电影告诉我们注重体育运动的重要性，小男孩平时打棒球让他有了强大的臂力，在关键时刻救了他
爽到，两个事，1.美国人仍然是最会拍电影的一批人 2.美国的年轻人仍然是最有反抗精神的一批年轻人，因为是类型片的原因减一分，一般来说越是节奏慢的片子越难拍，因为大部分观众如果没有没看到他们想看的，就会直接走出放映厅或者点击关闭按钮，然后去到朋友圈或者像豆瓣的某个社区，发个吐槽烂片的帖子啥的，这个片在节奏方面还不错，不会让人觉得无聊，另外就是类型片总会存在一些无法比较突兀的设定，对于一般的观众来说并不影响观看，但是有的人就会想为啥只有男主能听到电话铃声，为啥他接电话，搞小动作的时候从不会被反派逮住
太平庸了吧，男主角妹妹的存在完全就是多余的，这小演员是不是制片方的关系户所以给她特别加那么多戏……
真的可以讲得再无聊一点。绑架小男孩，然后男孩子在朋友们的陪伴下逐渐成长，内核竟然是个温馨成长片。这么简单的内核难为您套一个恐怖片的剧情了。开头很喜欢，随意定格都能成为一幅摄影作品，色调虽然很好看但是看久了眼睛很累，勉强加半星吧。就这样。
kids helping kids。但剧情设置太简陋，电话的来源、梦的来源、鬼魂的来源，这些统统都没说，全靠架空的设定盲目地推剧情。只有几处有jump scare，恐怖不算，只能算个惊悚片。反派形象塑造浅薄无力。
7分？就……很奇怪一片子，有槽点但体验还不错，挺流畅。小演员们讨人喜欢。小男孩觉得长得像很多人又说不上像谁……一个面具哥有必要伊桑霍克来演吗……
低配史蒂芬金，更像克里斯蒂安貝爾的伊桑霍克
【C+】看预告还以为是新的《险恶》，结果原来是children help children的「儿童恐怖片」。中间多次尝试逃脱的铺垫做得不错，反观结尾就有些匆忙，可惜伊桑·霍克继《月光骑士》后又演了一个毫无存在感的弱反派。
【6.5】一众角色中妹妹的表演比较灵，伊桑霍克演这角色也不知道图啥，其实也没太大发挥，毕竟大部分时候都带着面具。
是个不错的短小故事，所以不要墨迹，也不要加过多内容和道理，前面的氛围不好，最后还行，感觉身世背景应该再说一说，要不两个小孩的能力有点突兀，小女孩的表现不错
三星半吧，反杀的有点简单，有几个镜头蛮可怕，整体还不错
2分。低成本cult片，基本上是一个通灵男孩反杀变态杀手的故事，其实血腥场景倒不是很多，也没有多么惊悚恐怖。看了一下这导演之前也拍了不少类似题材的，还是《奇异博士》的导演。伊桑霍克几乎全程没露脸，结尾终于露了一半还被反杀了。
