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.
涕泗橫流。
可以看出整个制作团队在艺术上是有一定追求的，努力尝试着从很多方面打破人们对战争电影的固有印象，在我这里，他们做到了。
以整部片的基调来说是合格的，回忆录式的拍法就该有这样的详略的选择，偏重于几个重点的场景，末代武士“时易世变，身陷囹圄，积郁而作。兼追怀告慰战死之同志。”
原田真人的水准还真是一如既往，拍个流水账都拍不像样。坐等役所广司的河井继之助。
立意非常不错的影片，年轻一代更需要看看，感受挺进师精神的熏陶，面对挫折时将会更有勇气。
还行吧，大家平分都好低。我得去蹲一本原著再看看！
太无聊的主旋律了，调色煞有介事，一查 果然是美院老师拍的，电影不是做P P T和好看的桌面图啊
一部在生存与毁灭间行走的战争电影，在探讨个体的求生意志与忠诚使命的矛盾之间，呈现了一部体现人与战争关系的诗性电影
这部影片处处彰显氛围感，无论是黑白滤镜，还是水墨画质感，亦或者空灵的音效，都会让你有种忆当年的感觉。
不受主旋律控制，不向商业妥协，不靠演员出彩，认真老实用视听语言做电影！用心！赞！

黑白影像和长镜头的处理方式让我想起了匈牙利导演米克洛斯·杨索的《红军与白军》，虽然是看似枯燥的非商业表达，但画面却不会产生视觉疲劳，一是因为镜头一直是运动着的，很多镜头在游戏45度视角和平行侧视中调度，增强代入感同时保持了环境和角色直接的连接性。二是叙事上除了正常时间线，也加入了很多富有中国诗意禅宗的表达，让这部非主流主旋律的电影多了一些浪漫主义色彩。
是怎样做到让一部战争片既隐忍又激烈、既克制又如此动人的？忍不住要为这部《云霄之上》点个赞！

影片中的他们每一个都是最普通的红军战士，但是却组成了最不普通的英雄团队，向他们深深致敬。
战争使敌人丧失人性，也使我军战士变得忠诚，星星之火凝聚成燎原之势，没有人能阻挡住我们赢取胜利的脚步！
期待值被拉满之后有些失望，感受甚至不如我的团长我的团，想给五星但不知道哪里可以给五星
这电影对观众是有门槛的，你必须在原田真人标志性的快速剪辑和海量的插入镜头中获得动人的细节，不然就只能感受到流水账一样的节奏。而且这也并非是群像剧，主角只有土方岁三，他也确实是新选组中最值得讲的人物。至少他立起来了。就是原田真人这样的手法去拍历史剧合不合适，就，有待商榷吧。最后，原田真人的快速剪辑看的真爽啊。
打戏好看，加一星。豆瓣页面简介里把新选组副局长写成“新仙谷副司令员”，乐死爹了
流水线的剧情导致许多历史事件展现得水过鸭背
