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.
虽然也看过很多离谱的欧美青春片了，这个还是让我大开眼界，不过男女主颜值实在太高了让人能坚持下去，剧情嘛就是毫无逻辑一通乱写（原来国外玛丽苏小说就这水平吗）
啥玩意我的天隔壁the kissing booth前两部还能算guilty pleasure这一部简直连pleasure都没有我一边看一边想我到底在干什么
让我们感谢迈克尔贝又为我们带来了一部毫无营养的好莱坞烂片。
看来卖拷贝是要把狂轰乱炸这条老路一直走到黑了 我盗版狗两个多小时看下来都真的很累 进影院的可以考虑出来上个大号放松下
我是把脑子放到储物柜里来看的，但给我的观感仍不尽如人意。这部电影技术大于剧情本身，所以我就不说那又臭又长的文戏了，单说技术方面，手持和大特写镜头晃的我很晕，很多穿越机的镜头不明所以，看到最后都有点视觉疲劳了，以至于不断走神。另外最让我破防的地方在于，你们抢银行倒是戴个头套啊，现在美国劫匪都这么大摇大摆了吗？！
不知道在演什么，但是粉毛小哥很不错哎。女主上半身都这么瘦了，下半身还这么胖，我们梨形身材真的好痛苦😖
真行活儿高手，脾脏爆裂那儿确实吓我一跳（不过有些无人机镜头的想法试这一次就得了，下次别再搞了）
爽爽爽，那个无法无天、癫狂过火的迈克尔贝回来了！两个多小时的电影，百分之七八十的时间都在追逐，瞬间回到好莱坞动作片的黄金年代。人物塑造之精准、镜头调度之精彩、场面设计之火爆让人拍手叫绝。《生死时速》+《绝地战警2》+吴宇森式兄弟情+丝滑的无人机拍摄，大银幕上观看真的high翻了，没错，这么多年，我就吃迈克尔贝这套，无脑爽片看着就是开心！
剧情好尴尬，可能是长大的原因，喜欢的如此套路。。。
杂糅
完全没有脑子，剧情就像15年前的网络霸总文一样（甚至比霸总文还逻辑差）。不过或许点进来看完的我才是真的没脑子。考前看点没脑子的欧式言情大概是放松吧（看帅哥美女doi确实放松？）
哈哈哈哈什么乱七八糟的，但是俊男靓女谈恋爱赏心悦目还有啥好说的✌🏻
哈哈哈 男女主好看就完事了 男主好帅 我是土🐶 喜欢看他们亲亲
标准的卖拷贝电影，幼稚可笑的直男兄弟情和好莱坞俗套，全程极速狂奔，子弹飞泄，没有一丝一毫的喘息，所以越看越累。警匪双方基本上是各玩各的，丝毫没有对战的快感。而且时不时就要加入一个俯冲+旋转的上帝视角，这是卖弄自己终于掌握无人机遥控技术了吗？
女主大腿好健硕有点出戏
手持打底，特写点睛，还有大量无人机调度的上升、俯冲鸟瞰镜头，音乐把情绪拉满，就像坐过山车，沉浸感太强了，是属于影院的电影，也能展现影院的魅力，在这个特别的时段，私心很愿意支持它。不过，它的文戏太少，两个多小时，除了头尾几乎都让给场面，要不是有表演支撑，观众很难持续沉浸下去。它的形式只是形式，没有捋清和观众的关系，便无法做到极致。
真的挺无聊的片子，杰克为啥要接这个片子，太好莱坞动作片了。。。
整个职业生涯都让镜头充满荷尔蒙的卖拷贝这次返璞归真，决定把魔爪伸向了Heat和GTA，但明显能看出他绝对是激素紊乱了：无人机一通乱转，逻辑不知所云，单抢劫设计来看连给给他爱做支线都不配，但迈克尔·曼那套LA风光大赏和“邪不压正”的价值观倒学得有模有样，视觉上煞是好看；期间热闹非凡的躁动节奏感，总算让这桶爆米花没来得及变质。还有老吉啊，你为什么表演越来越向马克·沃尔伯格这种二愣子靠拢了…
西班牙电影真的都是帅哥美女啊，无比养眼。而且一个个都是能文能武，说脱就全裸、不脱的时候文戏也很自然，就冲这些也该5星。至于剧情就没那么重要了，就爱看这种高颜值、演技在线的纯爱片。
凭什么竹马敌不过天降？？
