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.
虐狗结尾居然看哭了……然后再到真正的结尾处，反而是抽离和无言的收束（看洪片主要是惯性使然……
我是真的被突如其来的电影本身给齁住了。还是更喜欢洪尚秀绵里藏针的人物对话，不合时宜发言却不自知的男人，将其拉走的女人、转头假装要加酒不接茬的女人。超高对比度的黑白画面，白色字幕隐身一半，不知道这又是什么特殊的粗糙美学。
8。看过的几部洪里面看的最轻松享受的一部，抛开和敏后撒狗粮的环节，整部电影充满了对自我的解剖，从各种意义和各种角度的，虚实的巧妙转换虽然不及在你面前，但是突然转变的彩色依旧是个很不错的点子，以及把敏后突出的更好看了。
百感交集。把自己交付给爱之后拍出的电影。想起自己的电影，只有焦虑和强迫。没有爱的对象，只有达成的对象，逼迫的对象。太暴力了。
洪常秀和伍迪艾伦的差距就是题材和广度上的匮乏，江郎才尽。
柏林电影节看的第一部电影 第一部本来是双刃剑 但是因为赶车的问题了错过了朱丽叶比诺十 不过还好 有金敏喜 本来期待挺高的 毕竟是自己的第一部洪尚秀的电影以及金敏喜 不过因为前天只睡了三个小时 所以电影 有部分是睡过去的 加上英文字幕也没有特别完全看懂 因而评价不能说客观 总体感觉 镜头语言平平无奇 突然而不顺畅的诡异前推给人留下比较印象深刻 电影场景也很普通 应该更多的是走文学路线 但是台词对话锋芒暗藏 人物情感张力也不怎么外露 更多地体现了儒家文化下日常生活以及人心距离 但我并不觉得有展现得多好 具体对于洪尚秀的感觉 还有待观看他的更多作品来定 主要是金敏喜在这部作品里面也没有多惊艳 令人有点失望
灵动，轻盈，有点儿不像之前的洪常秀的电影了，但魂还在。所不同的是质地，更加细腻，女性间的惺惺相惜，银幕内外，小说家的电影和导演的电影结合起来，成了非常有特色的新作，内容不重要，重要的是感觉。就像小说家和演员吃饭时窗外的那个女孩，神来之笔。四星
2022.4.21 韩国首映 Cinecube. 洪尚秀变了…变了好多…已经脱离了很多 越来越纯粹了 好像就是电影本身 虽然无法定义 但电影本身就是这样。金敏喜就像普通人一样，捧着狗尾巴花，笑着，哼着婚礼进行曲，纯粹本身。
虽然我知道导演的想法，我也知道粉丝的想法，也理解电影节评审的想法，但我还是觉得太普通了。某种意义上，这是小众粉丝的圈地自萌。
3.5星。借片中小说家之口，洪常秀道出了自己的创作观与创作过程，摇身一变成为了导演阐述电影创作的元电影。
但从作者史而言，未免有些大打“场外”牌之意了，结构性处理得更加微妙但也意味着削弱了影像本身的美学风格，以至于粗糙再次凸现了洪尚秀金敏喜“场外”的特性。
纪念第一次大荧幕看洪，过曝的瑕疵反而营造了梦境的氛围，结尾快要哭出来
天哪，是...挺不错的。果然又有烟、酒、咖啡。金敏喜的出现让一切都lively。就感觉，洪常秀塑造了我很大一部分对韩国人的印象吧（但可能不是），对话非常亲和，性格也很不错，炒年糕什么的听着都很馋。整体舒适而自由。这回没有恋爱了，似乎就是日常的事情，小而舒适，摒弃了一切戏剧性，人物性格仍是很鲜明，细节都在。最后的影像片段感觉和金敏喜贴得好近（噢天哪）！
电影啊，真伟大。
看似亲密的寒暄，却是无尽的疏远，这就是某种孤独与疏离吧
洪的电影如今已然蜕变为一种私影像的性质 以虚构来陈述现实 主动祛魅的过程反而增添了无尽的魅力 望远镜那刻神来的zoom引进视角带出缪斯 是在进行某种重复 可是他们居然通过影像这个介质结婚了啊
7/10
喝酒聊天的戏总感觉没看过瘾啊；“这是不是太随便了？你是不是需要一些引人入胜的元素呢？”；太喜欢这个结尾了
我是冲着金敏喜才看的这部电影的，
昔有褒曼捉鸡，今有敏喜拾叶。既是爱的宣言，也是电影创作宣言。
