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.
# 72 Berlinale 特别展映# 女性不需要被拯救，而是自救
「我們心中有火焰，卻如玫瑰般綻放，我們滿足男人的慾望，來守護女人的純潔」
20220523 不是很适合吃饭时看，人的肉体在武器面前太脆弱
真-大女主爽片，爱情不要奶狗不要专注搞事业，美强不惨，虽然剧情没啥逻辑遇到问题不是“我哥是拉拉”就是强行嘴炮，完了所有人都给女主让路，看个爽就行了，女主颜值身材没的说
相当理想化，可以算是女性爽片吧，在一个没有尊严的地方争取尊严，当然另一方面还是不适应印度电影的歌舞。
就因为TA是妓女？连人的权利都没有。对警，是钞票，对政客，是选票。男人凭什么觉得自己高人一等？对女人肆意侮辱性骚扰殴打？强奸特权？
影片感染力很强，或哭或笑、形神合一、声情并茂把一个被生活所磨的女人演绎得活灵活现风情万种。印度特色歌舞也充分传达了人物心情烘托气氛。仔细观察甚至边角位置的每一位舞者，无一不是神情动作传神投入不落分毫，众人的专注共同烘托了强大的感染力量。印度影片真的是很会渲染气氛，传达情感张弛有度。
看了之后还是感觉那么的热血沸腾，先烈们的悲壮被展现，艰苦却不后退，为了祖国，为了子孙后代，前进！
终究还是拍给男权看的为女性电影，电影里的人物形象太平面了。
“如何在笼子里自由的呼吸”step1-step10的区别。女主是真的美。
带着姐妹站起来的勇气
昨天看完了干股拜的故事，豆瓣的评分相当中肯，确实不能算是一部好电影，但比国内大多数的电影和立意还要好些，国内的电影现在真的丝毫也拿不出了，花了更多的钱拍了更烂的电影，文化正在退化，这很可悲。
印度版《健听女孩儿》，比那个拿奥斯卡的强，但也强不了多少。
就是一看完，好像也忘得差不多了。叙事线能在更强，情感能在升华。
厄，四星给我们的前辈，一代人打了三代人的仗，有了现在的和平
结局应该表现的痛心疾首一些，更能表现军事落后的严重性。我看了冰血长津湖还是不太清楚具体进攻路线，结局有点懵，时间没对上以为战争结束了，其实打了快三年。
其实不用太多谈论她的建议合理性问题。甘地也不是什么精明人，何况是一个妓女。
本片改编自印度非虚构纪实文学《Mafia Queens of Mumbai》中 Gangu 的篇章。按原型人物和现实情况，这片理应像阿米塔布巴强的《火之通途》看齐，塑造一个因畸形社会而诞生、又受困于自身罪恶的“灰色人物”。然而实际拍出来却像一个包裹着糖果、甜腻腻的玛丽苏YY。里面所谓的“女性主义思考”，其力度还不如导演自己二十年前的《宝莱坞生死恋》，昌德拉姆西那番“泥土也不是软弱无力”的宣言
主题是不错的但拍的太过于戏剧化，但是也许那个年代身为印度底层生活的人们，特别是女性处境本身就戏剧化。她为身处那个年代，那些不幸的女性发声，毫无疑问还是做了很多努力，不过影片给我的感觉还是首先你要抱紧一个大腿然后再是思想觉悟加行动。另外感情部分的大量mv场景我觉得好刻意甚至看得有点尬。最后，我是绝对不会支持pc合法化的，我们现在之所以能安然生活在当下，也有我们自己的先辈女性们为之付出的太多努力，推荐看看这个：https://b23.tv/PN4ZZue
