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.
看这片也就是为了托比马奎尔，听他再讲一遍他的故事，仅此而已。
特效是年度top1 加菲和Toby都比荷兰弟可爱 暴揍达福老爷子那段… 两个彩蛋都比正片让人感兴趣
抓几个外来人口打疫喵做黑酸要这么大费周章嘛，太特么弱智了。
费拉帝国演绎的挺好，批量生产的菜人集中力量干大事，在浑浑噩噩的残暴奴役中依然不忘互相坑害，身边人不停的惨死也无法在众人心中激起一丝涟漪，只有那高高在上的性本恶的丑恶婴孩发出的胡言乱语才能拉动这群人锈死的神经。另外还有太多象征性的内容，如果大卫林奇的橡皮头是属于一个人的噩梦，这部疯神大概是几个宇宙无数世纪的混沌之梦吧。
完完全全的Fan Service，三蛛同框前后逻辑写的还不如平行世界，整个剧作写的也是太潦草。情怀加一星吧
天天忙的jio朝天
剧情太拉了，绕了半天还是回到了开始，这哪是什么超级英雄。 7/10

罕见的反思：高考申请MIT，全是博士，选择了科技，结果是更多的科技，为了忘却自己的人生，选择了魔法，结果魔法的结果是更多的魔法，到最后是亡羊补牢，结束蝴蝶效应，但是人生没有重来，最后还是一种“另一个地球”，如果知道你的人生有过不一样的选择，你还会坚持现在的选择吗？
都是老粉的话欢呼声应该绝了
一定是我这辈子看过最酷的片子了，里面混进去的普京日川普乐死我了
除此之外，它又太像一首诗了。这首堆砌了无数暗色辞藻，如同波德莱尔《恶之花》的诗篇，全是涩嘴的囫囵味儿，说不清道不明，但就像是夏天傍晚做的阴仄仄的长梦，透着一股子邪意，让人怀疑到底是现实照进了梦境，还是梦境嵌套着现实。

如果不是因为粉丝电影的话，三星打顶了。在三代同框之前，可以用mess up来概括，荷兰蛛过于轻浮的圣母表现让前半段就像是个闹剧。而对于奇异博士随便就施展了咒语造成的多元宇宙坍塌问题，虽然以曾经使用过和对咒语的误解一笔带过，依然无法接受这是他会干出的事情。但三代同框实在过于精彩，以及在完成了对每个反派的救赎之后，回头去看每部电影，好像都能够弥补当时的意难平。如果用只有荷兰蛛受伤的世界作为结尾，好像也许不错。最后来到熟悉的出租屋、使用着熟悉的收音机，俯瞰纽约高楼，才知道原来英雄无归，到这一刻才刚刚开始。
反派害怕死亡，英雄也会悔恨。少年不知道要经历几次离别才能学会成长，要承担几次失败的代价才能懂得责任的意义。当被全世界忘记，个人的存在消解在英雄的战服之后，无数个拥有Peter Parker的次元里，这或许是最残忍的一个平行宇宙。
低分原因，是荷兰弟的“圣母情节”
荷兰弟很可爱，但前一部我差点看困了……这一部真的满分。
用我们刚学的一个剧作技巧“préparation-paiement”就是：用十年的 préparation 做了这么一部怀旧的 paiement . （préparation 就是在电影前期给你看个不起眼的东西，paiement 就是到后期让你再见到它。这时你会发现一切都明了了，情感也就在这里爆发。比如《公民凯恩》里的“Rosebud”）
蜘蛛侠没有敬畏之心，为此付出惨痛代价，活该。
