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.
为啥都在吹杰克吉伦哈尔的演技？演Henry的演员根本没露面就靠声音演的都比他好。
无功无过。’隔离7+7 4.28-5.04’
承认几乎任何翻拍都会因为原版的独特创意、诞生背景或是人才，而变得黯然失色；所以总会鼓励用欣赏一个“新”的故事的态度，来进入其中。然而这里，很难不承认好莱坞还是用一种强X的做法，把整个故事的气质都完全夺走了；花哨的大操作屏，过于庞大的声演群…FOX的《紧急呼救》和Apple TV+的《骇人来电》都是好作品，但这里是什么？Jake很好很用力，已经最大限度地贡献了自己；但它依然有很大的缺憾，与一种惊人的自负。
狗狗电影总是很治愈啊。狗和ptsd老兵在去葬礼的路上互相救赎，虽然看了预告片基本概括全片剧情了，但还是挺感人，也有小幽默。看看狗的演技，下次不管啥片，选演员按照这个狗的水平是最低要求好吗。
在HBO开发关于躁郁症的限定剧（尽管Jean-Marc Vallée的离开为这个项目增添了未知数），很早之前和A24合作的那部《侦探双雄》，能感受到（大概）跨入新的年龄阶段的Channing也想要试着探索更多可能和进行其它类型的尝试，而绝非仅是履行一种（基于身体、过往选角）既定重复的演出任务。选择这样一个故事上手足够安全稳妥- -毕竟狗、公路片、PTSD，这些元素在讨喜和打动人之上好像很难有什么差错。即使故事缺乏惊喜，也有一种极为平庸的发展，但会很感激一旦坐定就可从中享受到的陪伴- -是温暖的，也是可爱的。
虽然有一点点闷，虽然梗也非常能想到，但还是感动的，送别旧主和彼此治愈，孤单的公路片，以及半永久肌肉的查宁，保持的真不错。
露露和杰克逊·布里格斯不止在一个方面相似。杰克逊正在经历创伤和身体状况。他与自己的家庭、妻子和孩子疏远了，他不认为自己在军队之外还有生活，但和露露在一起改变了他的看法。布里格斯是个沉默寡言的人，表达他的感情对他来说是件陌生的事。但是他为露露写了一首诗，他找到了一个经历过同样磨难的共同者。在某个地方，他们互相理解，填补了那些曾经认为会把他们完全吞没的大裂缝。
钱宁首次参与执导。寻求再次回到战场的退伍老兵被退役军犬治愈人生的故事。套路陈乏，但狗勾的故事永远看不够。112021/060622
整体就是及格的套路故事片吧，加一分给可爱狗勾和男主好身材
3.5。剧情简单，但是人与狗之间的永恒感情不会停下感动的步伐
一人一狗的旅程，剧情比较套路，看看就好，话说为啥类型是喜剧？
但是反差也还是存在的，比如在山林的那屋子里的老夫妻，看得出他们很相爱，也很善良。
太尬了！和原版比差了太阳到地球的距离，吉伦哈尔着急的时候只会摸头，原版的男演员和他比简直是影帝级别。。。
这部片最好看的看点是查宁只穿黑色内裤在地上爬的部分😂
落差太大，看预告的时候觉得很有意思，全片看完后就这？
没想到还挺好的。原来现在军警很讨厌别人说thank you for your service. 真的时代变了，以前的电影里，别人不说他们还会挑理。现在他们也意识到这话有讽刺和轻视的意思，于是又不想听了。觉得查宁塔图姆有潜力，他好像一开始扮演的角色就是比较女性友好的，他还是适合喜剧啊。觉得是不是中间有一个更戏剧化的点，来表现男主意识到自己和狗是一样的，是被用后即弃的，是不是会更好呢？另外动物电影的结尾没有几个能超过野马那个升华吧，这个有点遗憾。可能就是野马的升华在于一种悲剧的不可能，男主意识到自己是没法“变好”没法适应正常生活了，悲剧和遗憾给人的刺痛比一个看似和解的结局带给人的安慰总是要更加绵长。
马上有泪点的时候 咔一下停住了没有那么过瘾
很棒的一部美国老兵与动物的公路片，钱宁塔图姆的形象很适合这个角色！
不错， 杰克·吉伦哈尔没有令人失望，和《恐怖直播》有得一拼
猛男与狗子的公路电影🎦
