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.
《山村狐妻》——东北版的《在竹林中》，又有点《雪山飞狐》的套路，套来套去，最凶残的还是人心。所谓狐精魅鬼，都是人心扭曲变异的产物。
不过就是讲了贪官助纣为虐，贪婪人性啊巴拉巴拉
确实是质量稍微好一些，对白情节设计地都是能让人看下去不厌烦的状态，后面的部分如果是非常好的电影那就是加分项，但是目前还不能算所以就较为累赘
氛围感还不够，没有那种惊悚刺激的感觉。但故事讲的很好，至少能自圆其说，也算是国产恐怖片里的翘楚了。
一个关于人心的恐怖故事（PS：谢锦浮夸的表演风格很像薛之谦😂）当大家坐在龙王庙的时候 狼人杀那味儿就有了
这个故事和剧本还真的是不错，不咋呼不粗俗。众口异词，拼贴杜撰，窥见的是个中人情炎凉。
非常出色，甚至为了提防，连策划名都没给别人，导演和编剧搭档了蛮久了，从兴安岭猎人开始都看了一遍，前后无出其右，这部新的算是难度最大的，倒不是说比猎人剧作强度高，想要在口碑和收益上跟前作叫板，几乎是不可能完成的任务，结构上与其说有着罗生门的影子，到不如说复刻了猎人的套路，可以喻其为“民俗”项目的经典范式，十分值得学习
晚饭和家里一块看的 本来以为会很烂 结果他倒是烂的不太出奇
惊喜之作！剧情直接走了《罗生门》的路子，戏中戏中戏，故事套故事，真假难辨，一如人心，最终主题思想回归到了“鬼比人可怕”这个比较合理且稳妥的角度，还很用心地在结尾做了开创式结局——你可以认为都是瞎子信手拈来街上几位邻居胡编的故事，也可以认为在美好的想象中原本互相伤害的人都幸福的生活在了同一片乐土。（要是第二位卖药大哥讲的故事里面不弄个山洞里面的大狐狸头暴露地段特效就更好了）
没看过原著，在不知因果的情况下，本应该抽丝剥茧呈现的秘密感动，变成了明知你痛我痛他痛但却无法为他们的脆弱流泪
意外好看啊，本来晚上开着电视机当背景的，最后放下手机倒回去重新看了，在国内特殊限定条件下，能用罗生门的方式把一个恐怖悬疑片给讲圆了，演员虽然一个不认识，可是演技在线，剧情没有大硬伤，土匪头子尚有三分仁义，借米村妇却让人胆寒，给5分是觉得评分低了，拉一下
月、天空晚霞空镜反复出现，现在看两个半小时电影，觉得好长，在湖中仰面漂浮看🌛真的好美。
分两天看终于看完了。片子里有很多像mv似的镜头，看得让人想快进。总体来说还不错，立意很深~
只有他和她互相理解 无处可去 呆在对方身边
网大加一星。
狐妖杀人→人性贪婪，真凶散布谣言。

烂片横行的当下，竟然出乎意料的讲好了故事，太不容易了

没啥意思哈
