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.
？？要不要开个背？？你身上还有哪里能射？？……对不起我是我脏。整体感观其实挺一般，除去老粉滤镜和母体重启水平相当。归功于一手溜粉好宣发。戏外的戏比戏里足。动作设计历史新低（三代这三部就没好过）。喜欢超英和恶役久别重逢。剧本共情度太低，随随便便，反正观众的情都会给他俩是吗。
三代同框的情怀拉满！！！虽有点圣母，为了小善而酿大错，但在经过前几部电影的铺垫，以及这一部的教训，到了结尾的时候，荷兰弟版的蜘蛛侠终于摆脱庇护，蜕变成为了真正的蜘蛛侠。
又看到了清一色寡淡轻浮不痛不痒到只差用“牛X”来形容的短评。
三星是还行，如果不是前两代蜘蛛侠，我更想给二星。这部作品就是奇异博士是工具人，为了让剧情发展居然被第三代小屁孩蜘蛛侠给“关起来”了！前两代蜘蛛侠（剧中调侃冒牌货）就是来陪衬第三代“扮家家”蜘蛛侠，梅姨去世毫无意义，推出所谓的“能力和责任”的主题，但依旧如同儿戏，这代蜘蛛侠根本没有立起来！最恶心用一种所谓的搞笑的对话，来揭伤疤的爆米花式电影。
既弥补了一些意难平，也制造了一些新的意难平。不同作品里交错的角色既是卖点也是软肋。
teenager is the stupidest creature in that world
两点五星，三个蜘蛛侠同框有啥好，不如我再去补一遍初代蜘蛛侠三部曲。
多元宇宙的概念固然新奇，鉴于这个系列受众智商大概在15岁上下水平，也就只能这样子随便意思下就好，关键还是得酷炫热闹，这一套无论（现在的）索尼还是漫威早已玩到信手拈来。
安德鲁加菲尔德，我恨你，你为什么要回来演这个破片子还继续该死地可爱。
梅死于她的好意，后续剧情如果不继续做下去，她就真的白死了。托比和加菲真就如同大哥哥帮荷兰解决问题。三系列梗不少，冲这一点也是蜘蛛侠2以后的漫威最佳了，而且碾压其他那几部。有关魔法的戏份还是很亮眼的，有回到博士第一部的感觉，但这次博士替代了古一，而且还没打赢。
很难想象做了三十年这种东西 也很难想象我坚持了一个半小时。回想起史云梅耶真是优美
荷兰弟和赞达亚，帅哥美女，般配！想吐槽的是美式价值观：但凡看不顺眼的，总想着要去fix。于是一个个反派boss，都被fix成了符合美式标准的普通人。那你有没有想过，在平行宇宙中，存在一个能让各种大反派保持本性其乐融融的宇宙呢？
只有情怀，没有深度，一切都显得刻意，在两代蜘蛛侠面前荷兰弟版蜘蛛侠真的不够看
必须承认，欣赏能力还未达到能理解该片的水平

teen movie流程+作天作地作出烂摊子之后圣母真的不行（this is why i never had kids
非常《复联4》的系列集合“完结篇”，你可以说它只是在消费，但这种情怀对于粉丝群体来说真的是礼物啊。虽然是一种虚假的生命历程，但却又是真实在叠加的，而且最后结局算是漫威第一次反漫威了，也是值得加分的。
思路亮点，没想到能搞到那么多版本的蜘蛛侠。从一个超级英雄，到超级英雄联盟，再到跨维度跨时空的超级英雄平行重叠，原来这就是漫威世界的内卷呀。
甚至一时之间无法用语言形容看完的感觉，手工制作的精细程度令人瞠目结舌，三十余年的制作周期，难以想象制作的背后付出了多少。一场光怪陆离的地狱旅途，视觉奇观层出不穷，隐喻丰富也具备解读乐趣，虚无，可怖，震撼。
【澳门银河观影】要比《尚气》和《永恒族》好看得多，起码回到了以特效和娱乐性为重的准则。利用多元宇宙打通不同时空的超级英雄故事线索，纯粹是商业操作，不过，三代蜘蛛侠、不同时期的反派同场出现的时刻确实让人惊喜。最有意思是矫正反派性格中邪恶/欲望无度的一面这个设定，眼看最后绿魔的失魂模样，让我浮想联翩。人性中只剩下善意、无欲无求，还能是完整的人吗？可惜剧本没有太多空间去延伸探讨这种复杂的话题。
