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.
不要被血浆吓退错过一部好片，其实是把自我意识觉醒，巧妙地套上一个女巫传说的背景，设定特别棒。女主用心声感受外界一草一木的时候，感觉整个人都通透了。
太慢了！本来是个被女巫收养的故事，对人世间充满好奇心的故事，取材不错啊，摄影很好呀。但往胸口装谁的内脏就变成谁的样子的设定，太扯了。难道是为了逻辑，说得过去，并且绕开科学解释的硬伤吗？
快跑。我会找到你的。
导演肯定是基佬，拍女体血肉模糊拍男体活色生鲜，表面上女性主义其实最大看点是男色。
是因为我脸盲吗……T^T
Me the woman，me the skin，me the witch，me the nothing. 在我心目中也许先入为主，女性就是女巫，女巫就是女性。她经过16年暗无天日被母爱囚禁；前一任女巫解放了她、教会她丛林法则却不符合她性情；化身为农妇，一步步学会人类生活的规训，也体会到了父权伤害；化身为英俊男孩，过上“简单”生活，却为小女孩的意外身亡学会流泪；化身为女孩，感受到了爱，尽管Old Maid Marie作为内心女巫的声音，像是阴影，时时提醒风险，但她最终决定作为女巫也作为母亲、作为女巫的母亲活下去。比起Old Maid Marie被欺骗被剥削被驱逐的一生，在女巫的接力上，能感到导演没有那么悲观，去寻找女巫在人世生活的一种伦理。新的女巫们既在community中，也在self中。
看似血肉模糊，但却有个不折不扣的文艺内核，女巫化身生命体验者这个点子很是清奇，大段自白配合摄影风格确实马力克，从一片混沌到表达笑与泪，直至学会爱，影片用自己方式诠释了人类情感的重要性，还是很有想法的。
很美的画面，节奏也很舒服，看到最后看到的还是压迫，人们给被压迫阶级都冠以了“女巫”，所以便给了压迫以正名。魔鬼哪里比得上人性。
3/5 | “做人不能什么都怕，尤其是惧怕自由。”
但
典型的欧洲风格电影。阴郁的气质，昏暗的色调，仿佛一切都笼罩着一层迷雾。故事偏文艺，也偏向个人表达，三场标准的欧式风格性爱场面表现的隐忍又稍显克制。全程在一种灰暗平缓的状态下往前走，没有想象中的“劲儿”，也可以说是力量，反倒是让人深切的体会到当年欧洲人的整体生活状态，老旧的小汽车，阴暗的公寓楼，即使白天也笼罩在雾霾之下。桀骜不驯的罗伯特，最终欺骗了所有人，但是却没有欺骗自己。毅然决然的打倒了大鼻子怪物，拯救了了掰弯自己的艾瑞克。
humanity in the pov of witches 最喜欢她感受生活的部分探索玩乐体验 活久了感觉每一天都一成不变 these scenes remind me what a joy it is to be alive and things i can do different ways to be 另noomi能打
在某个自由等我国家
掰弯警察哥哥的故事也很撩人，呜呜呜~还带着纪录片的历史背景
在某个自由等我国家
快进都看不下去，劳米近
做为一个恐怖片 你将不再孤单 最恐怖的是一点都不恐怖，大段的内心独白和写意镜头，还以为是个爱情文艺片。故事有点 画皮 的意思，不算开篇又臭又长的前史，后面80分钟讲了四个故事四种身份。看上去都有关联，但每一个都没讲透。如果不是想看妖怪最后会不会吃人，早睡着了。
在有点意思和没啥意思间横跳，不断换皮最后终于找到一个真爱结果被野猪戳死了，为啥这么惨因为选到了中世纪农民hard副本啊，女巫可以考虑找找贵族或者在苟到千禧年就爽了，太惨太文艺不如去看一条狗的使命12，真-人不如狗，3.5
悬疑线大可不必 美的地方只有波兰的景色和那三句台词。
好高级，诗意，浪漫，连对白也充满着意义，动物、女人、男人、女孩，生命在流淌，女巫的血液里充满着屈辱和对抗。因为不同生命体的存在，让所有空镜有机统一于生命体验的母题内。演员选的好，灵动。四星
