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.
每一个志愿军都是值得我们记住和致敬的最可爱的人！易烊千玺就是伍万里，他就是我们的眼睛，带领我们去参与那段历史。
认真安利《长津湖》，特别被电影所传达的信仰所打动，有场面、有故事、有力量！ 每个演员的表演都很有穿透力，其中印象最深的是胡军饰演的如此硬汉形象的雷公，在奄奄一息的时候说：“你们别把我一个人就在这，我不想死啊，我好疼啊。”眼泪止不住的流，再一往无前的战士，本质也是跟我们一样的普通人，他也会疼也会怕死，但还是义无反顾的保护战友、保护国家
一部对绝大部分观众来说都非常有观影快感的影片。无论是紧凑的剧情、有血有肉的每个战士，还是震撼的场面和音效。从来没觉得电影院的时间过得那么快过，结局依然意犹未尽。四字弟弟饰演的伍万里眼神戏精准，从小混混成长成不屈战士的过程让人动容，不愧是新生代扛把子。吴京胡军发挥精彩，对手戏看点十足。
特效是几毛钱，演技也不够，故事更是没讲好，大制作大投资挟爱国主义公器以私用，对不起志愿军战士们。
最后的反转挺有意思，悬疑片到了爱情片。但是调度有点问题啊，尤其是对话的正反打有些单调。不过“文艺工作者”的内心OS还是很可乐的哈哈哈
个人认为拍成开放式结局更精彩，把女孩的生死、齐乐山所说的是否真实做成模凌两可会更好。十个项目九个凉，商业投资很正常。这句话，既好笑，又感到可悲。
有点《如月疑云》的味道，密室通过聊天推动剧情。悬疑反转做的也不错，还是挺惊喜的。期待万合天宜的新作
先看1950他们正年轻，再看长津湖，一边是听觉上听老兵们谈抗美援朝，一边是视觉上重现他们的过往，不得不说，都是非常非常值得观看的电影。
我们向世界再一次的证明，中国人才是最会讲故事的玩家~
特别震惊报告老板团队竟然拍出讽刺悬疑剧！有密室逃脱和民国剧本杀的元素，也致敬了《闪灵》和《这个杀手不太冷》用民国背景反讽当代，非常大胆，有勇气也有创意！喜剧人真的都是宝藏人！
整部影片就是通过简单的语言包袱、戏剧冲突和闪回解释堆叠而成，几乎不存在任何视觉化讲述方式，so，越文学、越戏剧，越不电影。
本以为是个大佬崛起的伪纪录片，原来是个悬疑推理片啊
情怀性4星，喻恩泰一句“我觉得这部片子应该这样拍”瞬间带回《报告老板》……片中的迷影元素真是太好玩了，子墨在第一部大银幕作品中能做出这样的表达，也算是及格了吧。
处女作可以的！尤其是过度解读的反转加分。导演的音乐需要提升下哈哈
我们的国家依然是五岳向上
剧本真妙哇，三个大场景的转换，剧情一层叠一层，角色厚重了，故事就有着落了。二刷时看到了更多的细节，大海衣服上蝴蝶形状的胸针，远远和自己偶像的合影；夜莺爱吃的橘子是齐乐山吃的最后的食物。散落在角落的是线索，也是情感。看完很想站起来给这帮人好好鼓鼓掌。
字幕不分的得地，扣一星。喻恩泰怎么又演碎嘴小男人…
完美诠释了什么是最可爱的人！
制作水准肯定是有的，但是我觉得真的不需要这么多的大范围移动的镜头。有的情节全都是大范围移动的镜头连屏幕内容都看不出来是什么。本来电影就只有24帧，而且我本人对帧率也不算敏感，但是镜头又卡又难受。看三小时的电影不累，但是看这个真的很累。
我！就是！没那么！喜欢！一个情杀，南京来人灭火苗？犯得上吗？60%荒诞演法+40%写实，这是什么路子？1星给喻恩泰。
