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.
上一部看完是完全的没印象，希望金凯瑞再续一部吧，每部都有他才是亮点所在，其他的都很一般。
太好玩了，梗很多，金凯瑞表现真的无敌。最喜欢斗舞和瑞秋杀回去找未婚夫，太有意思了。派拉蒙真有钱啊，视效做得真不错，那毛绒感！期待下3，虽然看上去金凯瑞应该不会再拍了。
索尼克下一集没必要出现了，我看金凯瑞的蛋头博士就够了
“我们必须发誓要倾尽我们的一切来保护宇宙的安全！”以前的电影动不动就保护地球，现在的电影动不动就保护宇宙，看来在漫威之后，整个电影行业的格局打开了！
棒子有点破事还老想着我们 自己家破事整不明白呢 只能说棒子国内越来越穷 还不得靠我们挣钱 骗也是骗棒子自己这帮傻货 就这点伎俩我们早就上不了当了
卞耀汉和金武烈俩人就能撑起一整部及格的反电信诈骗宣传电影。为了黑而打低分的搜搜新闻就知道了，中韩东南亚跨国电信诈骗集团真的不少。每年都能抓到，但是没法赶尽杀绝…果然还没被杀猪盘盯上的人，确实是因为属于你的剧本还没被写出来。如果是中韩合拍好了，还能宣传宣传国家反诈中心App🤦♀️这次功劳都被韩国人抢走了。
很欢乐，
也很套路，
The wedding bit is fun but I think Hollywood is losing the ability of making a interesting opening scene.
节奏紧张但细节不足，很多人说被骗太简单，但实际上被骗的人都是一些有所求，有欲望，有关心的人受骗。骗子抓住的是一颗太过在乎的心。另外永远不要用钱去衡量人性，因为你还不起。
卞耀汉和金武烈撑起了整部影片，故事情节非常紧凑，有些桥段设计过于急切，相较于国内同题材电影还是更深刻，至于说是不是刻意黑我们，只能是见仁见智
剧情通俗易懂，如果删掉婚礼的部分，就更适合小孩子看了。
故事马马虎虎但是原型故事上明明中国警方功劳最大这里魔改+黑，棒子心态太可笑。PS看到过此片舔棒的评论更是除了长了根舌头啥也没长
有太多熟悉的影子，死侍同款碎嘴，奇异博士的技能戒指，快银的速度，“反浩克战甲”，现实宝石……玩的就是超级英雄那套，最后好像还整了个超级赛亚人？
比较真实地还原了电信诈骗产业链 实际上现实中大多数电信诈骗在没有那么高级的情况下都能屡屡得手 往往针对的都是普通老百姓骗走他们的血汗钱棺材本非常可恨 据说台湾每100人里就有1人涉及参与电信诈骗不知道是不是真 本片前半节奏尚可后半男主潜入后没有什么斗智斗勇的碰撞只是在瞎搞破坏让人很失望 最后用电话诈骗的手法反骗了诈骗集团大boss算是稍微找回一点场子 电影本身大概3.5星左右 再0.5星加给那些因为里面涉及了一点中国就不分青红皂白按讷不住躁狂跳脚说辱华打低分的玻璃心小粉红 看你们的丑态比看电影还有趣
韩国的现实题材真的不赖，第一次知道电话诈骗背后最值钱的是剧本哈哈哈。节奏也很准，中规中矩。
看第一部时刚从国内回到美国，现在第二部都上了回国之日依然遥遥无期…唉…
特效很不错，金凯瑞演的很好，古典叙事逻辑上也可以自洽。扣分点有二，一是主角过于刻板没有成长，过于情节驱动人物；二是新娘黑人胖姐太政治正确了，无美感无必要

首先，小刺猬够可爱，红色的那位出场也够帅，但是我搞不懂电影里为什么有机器人，看到后半段都猜到剧情了，还是喜欢第一部索尼克来南方小镇交朋友的故事
