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.
不过整个基本全黑的西部牛仔片
无黑的影视作品就属于政治不正确了
5.0分！前半部分还可以的，艾迪与毒液相互吐槽，嘴炮不停，但后半部分彻底垮掉，高潮部分动作场面都有些平庸，最后彩蛋把毒液乱入漫威宇宙了，可以期待一下；
视听效果绝对一流，尤其是配乐，复古浪漫，西部风格满满。但三流的剧情实在是拖后腿，根本不知道怎么去构建人物性格，除了主角全体工具人，乏善可陈 @Netflix
复古黑人剧，叭叭的挺费血浆，干掉你还要流着泪说是你逼的，黑人兄弟跟好莱坞学成了也是
故事比较老套，看点大概就是全黑人了吧，想效仿科恩兄弟的出奇制胜，但也就那么一个“奇”，最后还来一下星战梗，普普通通，不过不失吧。
【C】这拍的都是什么鬼…几乎继承了第一部所有缺点并成倍放大，扁平的角色、白开水的故事、走流程般的叙事、无趣的对白、糟糕的节奏、跑路的逻辑，最难受的是和第一部一样全片都粗糙得就像直接用初稿拍出来的一样，很多情节因为缺乏基础逻辑所以毫无说服力，角色行为逻辑也是个谜。最想吐槽的是屠杀的诞生原因居然这么…我找不到词来形容编剧的偷懒了…
把白人的故事全换成了黑人就可以了吗？黑人这样就心理满足了吗？网飞献媚黑人群体太过明显了
好莱坞影视工业的发达，无往不利，高高在上习惯了，捞金捞成了惯性，看着钱多人傻的大陆好灌汤灌迷药，逮住一个IP就赶紧捞，往死里捞，一部成功了，续集弱也赶紧拍赶紧上映赶紧捞，这部差了就再来认真做一把，成功一把后再来烂片捞一把，然后之然后，就这样捞成一部部系列出来，最后还冠名成了经典。5.4/1.87万 【IMDb6.3/6万 北美票房1.97亿30.77万美元，全球票房4.24亿90.77万美元】
我个人很喜欢西部片，但是这一帮黑人带着牛仔帽的西部片看得让人别扭得慌，也不符合历史。真心难看，什么玩意儿
看到才一小时片长就知道人物和剧情都不可能立体/完善 但是小情侣的回忆/final date都太有感觉了 以及Aidan这么用心的男孩是真实存在的吗
介于"很差"和"比较差"之间，打三星纯属出于对寄生类题材毫无道理的喜爱…… 反派女朋友反水反的莫名其妙，说了别用她的噪音能力，非要用，最后被打了来一句"这太过分了"，就开始攻击屠杀了…您还记得自己的男朋友在里面吗？ 毒液和Eddie的感情线也好尴尬，因为理念不合产生的矛盾还没深入说明就被"屠杀要来了我们赶紧和好"的前女友彩虹屁和一通不走心的道歉给盖过去了，同人文都比这写得好！ 反派就不说了，念诗工具人罢了（友善微笑）
好不了了
只有脸能看。
精致，绅士，浪漫，华丽，每一个不像是会用在一群黑人牛仔身上的词语在教科书级别的镜头间和完美的配乐中被展现。西部黑人007，教会了所有盲从于zzzq的导演怎么拍全黑人的电影，黑人的性感和魅力从何展现。可惜的是阿尔巴的角色结尾处理落俗，哪怕是和康决斗对射也要好过这狗血的处理。最出彩的是两个黑女郎，无论是化学反应还是文武对手戏都碾压过两男主
女主凭颜值撑起了一部烂片。塔莉娅·莱德实在是美。
作为漫威系列超级英雄电影中的一员，毒液和蜘蛛侠有些类似又不太相同。同样是被感染后变异成的超英，毒液性格更加可爱，也亦正亦邪，用中文说的“晚上好”太可爱了！片尾彩蛋也关联了蜘蛛侠，非常值得一看！
姑娘真正，男孩真搓，他俩玩的那座山真的好美啊啊，我以后也要找个类似的去玩
African American没有毛病好吧
美国高中真的都是派对派对派对吗？！美丽女主、健谈男友、话痨闺蜜…社会主义者表示看得有些烦，不过好歹有漂亮的脸蛋，漂亮姐姐永不过时。
