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.
乐器是男人最好的医美
朱一龙的演技真的可圈可点，实力圈粉。只是徒手攀岩和徒手抓直升机的桥段真的雷点满满。
剧情有很大的Bug，但是细节还是经得起推敲，避免落俗，所有的BGM都是熟悉的.
。。。。这也太浪费我的电影票兑换券了好嘛，纯无聊烂片，还不如温习一下上海堡垒那种充满沙雕快乐的雷片。。。
一颗星给演员一颗星给中铁建.导演编剧再努力些好，可惜了一众演员了.
这个题材很少。但是一个动作片能不能不要那么多感情对白戏啊，太无聊了。另外一个无人机就能解决的问题真的需要活人去攀岩吗？
作为青春剧，我觉得阔以！三个主角的颜都不错，音乐表现也可。
6.5分，标准的灾难片，感觉又回到了宏大叙事的状态，前半段很好，每一个节奏点都走的精准到晚，高度的凝炼紧凑，有一气呵成之感。黄老师和朱一龙配合的很好，从头到尾张弛有度。焦俊艳和陈数也完全不像演员，更像是两位真实的铁建工作者。可惜中间开始剧情出现拉胯，在探水寻出口那一段运用原生家庭元素，多少有点不太自然。黄老师的老洪作为一个已经退休的铁道兵牺牲在茫茫的大山深处着实让人惋惜。
不过今天玩的倒是很开心
故事和节奏还可以，能看的下去。除了少数几个常人做不到的比如跨步飞直升机，整部片子还可以。
期待满满的进去，一脑瓜子问号出来……最怕动作片安插强行煽情片段，剧本也一言难尽，表演也一言难尽，动作也一言难尽，只有灾难场面看得出是花钱了，值两分不能更多了
有幸看了首映，影片全程高能无尿点，看完后意犹未尽，今晚上就去二刷！影片主要讲述了中国式救援，具备了灾难片的特质，悬疑，泪点，特效都超棒！据说是流浪地球团队做的特效，绝了！还有观影的请备好纸巾，我口罩都湿了呜呜呜，太感动了
我喜欢要炸隧道的陈晓欧，喜欢在总部部署工作时，其他部门待命，让解放军先去一线的命令。
影片最后焦俊艳在电话里对朱一龙的生死告别仿佛顺便把想对王沥川说的话全都送出来了。
俗套，尴尬，特效也完全没有令人惊艳的感觉，既不刺激也不感人，实属一般。
挺有意思，青春里有各自的梦想和苦恼，比如不被父亲关爱的汉特，不敢交流只能借助酒精的鼓手，和吃药镇定的大提琴手。喜剧效果成分自然。很有闪光处。青春的缩影。
三个人一次合练都没有就上台得亚军，还是有点夸张的，女主设定有趣，但最后所谓的反转太没必要了，狗都知道她要参加乐队，人为设定困难
real hardcore，real rock，rock it!
套路电影 skull flower改名很好
特效很出戏，节奏也不太好，剧情更是毫无逻辑可言。当我们想歌颂一个人，前提是要把他当成一个人，而不是神。
