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.
你们不觉得比头号玩家好吗？ 全场共鸣可多了
我看的这版翻译啊，一言难尽，但是马东锡必须是我的最爱
NPC也有自由意志！向暴力游戏说不！冒险乐园的居民也要公共安全！抄了N多的电影，但是那种日常满天飞火箭履险如夷的调调还是很可爱，贱贱的路人气质挺符合这个角色。结局有新意，认命自己就是一封情书，真命天子另有其人。最爱忠勇的Buddy，想那么多干嘛，觉得爽去干就对了！
背靠迪斯尼真的可以为所欲为，他掏出XX的时候，电影院沸腾了。
疫情下愁云惨淡的世界，太需要如此美好治愈的电影了！
这是传说中的韩国爽片吧，可强弱悬殊稍微大了点。马东锡的戏路都被定死了。
死侍风的游戏 NPC 为主角的嘲讽喜剧设定 + Jodie Comer 女主还要啥自行车！！！简单 cheesy own it 的剧情加上丰沛的玩家笑点不负我久违的回归影院。拿出____全家桶的时候真的如妇联全员集结一般激动人心想要起立鼓掌。不过感觉 Jodie 和小变态这个角色的魅力还真是相辅相成，这部里还真是少了点灵魂。
你笑着对我说，游戏里都是骗人的，我可能是你的王子……
NPC们最后为什么那么开心？因为他们再也不用上班了啊！
唉，韩国连战狼都拍得这么好看，真是令人羡慕。
虚拟世界延伸、影响、入侵到现实世界某种意义上已经成为一种当代神话，而彩蛋文化影响着观众的主观感受。本片以及同类型同结构的《头号玩家》都在这个体系中。然而即便后者比前者有着更丰富完美的执行，前者有一点能把后者碾到地上摩擦：后者以家长的口吻擅自宣称游戏世界是假的，你的现实世界才是唯一的真实；前者在不逃避现实的前提下，肯定虚拟世界的价值，以及深信虚拟世界存在真实的生活和人生，虚拟世界也存在着作为独立客体的自反性。
盖和巴迪是好基友，真爱在身边，NPC也有春天，GTA玩家可能会鸡冻尿，太多熟悉的时刻，结局原本以为像《创战纪》一样，实现虚拟角色的实体在线和女主谈恋爱，不过这样也很好，放置类游戏适合大家放松心情，世界已经足够混乱，游戏就该像直播一样， 参与其中就可以，而不是要一味追求性血腥暴力吗，至于翻译成XX玩家，可以理解为蹭一波《头号玩家》，但free翻译成失控，唯有关内，独此一家。
比头号玩家那种堆砌元素的电影内涵，也有趣多了

npc名字 guy buddy dude💪笑死还有keys
honestly觉得ryan reynolds有点too much，女主没有小变态滤镜的话就有点看不下去。看完了心里毫无波澜…

娱乐性太棒了，看得很开心。看到复联梗、星战梗更是喜不自胜。
I CAME IN LIKE A WRECKING BALL!!!!!!!
特效开到满级的游戏版《异次元骇客》，虽然深度不及《异次元骇客》和《楚门的世界》，但高度娱乐，有刺激肾上腺的动作，也有刺激多巴胺的快乐，还有刺激泪腺的走心情感，以及让年轻人上瘾的pop culture。Not a good movie, but a great movie.
