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.
这可不就是一部变态的恐怖片嘛。各种低俗元素和恶趣味混杂，剧情简简单单，突出一个“呕”字即可。万万没有想到，这好像是我看了这么多影片当中，第一次所看到的老年人sex场面……
花生米、黄花鱼、哈尔滨红肠配绿豆糕倒是挺崭新的吃法。最大的问题就是太无趣了，太老套了，太政治正确了，太脸谱化了，太程序性了，太老气横秋了。多亏有范伟老师救场。
creepy
光影艺术在线，但除了老王，其他人物全都扁平，缺乏情感与经历。老洪的塑造似乎只是一种意象，一种肃杀英勇的意象，即便是有张涵予的硬汉加持，可那在他千篇一律的硬汉群谱里，又能让人记住多少呢。
编剧糟糕，画面精致但镜头无效，五调俱全的灯光弥补不了毫无信息量的画面。电影摄影是用光书写而不仅仅是用光绘画。
谍战戏份潦草粗糙，没线索没来由；人物形象更是扁平无趣，比如周也饰演的医生，就是对剧情毫无推进、没有必要出现的角色。除了雪地、列车的氛围烘托尚可，三星为了纪念铁道游击队
整部电影仿佛一个原本6小时或者更长的电影里单独截出来的片段…不知道之前发生了什么，也不知道后面是不是有个更大的结局。废情节（比如开头为什么要杀三个眼线），废镜头（男主老洪最后一次登上火车的那几个动作分镜比如踩雪），废角色（政委毫无作用并且巨讨嫌）。没有任何惊喜感，我甚至觉得我不如再重新看一次老电影铁道游击队？？？能感受得到导演是想把整个电影拍出恢宏的气势，小人物看大时代，怎奈能力实在有限= =｜｜｜这是个啥啊…
视听语言在主旋律电影里还蛮特别的 期待看看在自我表达的作品中表现如何
用武侠片的思路拍抗日故事。比较惊喜的是，这部影片能看得出导演意识。美术与摄影有质感，场面调度也有想法。导演尽量用镜头与人物的动作带出信息量。这种追求腔调的做法可能比较剑走偏锋，却是非常不错的尝试。范伟老师的表演一如既往得好。

镜头挺有质感 电影整体挺文艺范 但是作为商业电影动作场面 战争场面就缺少美感 而且剧情前期节奏太慢了
华谊现在拍这种抗战题材，质感拿捏得已经很到位了，就是剧情可以再好好雕琢下，这片子结尾战斗部分一团乱，影响了整体的质量。
很奇怪，两个小时的体量却显得如此单薄，故事也算有头有尾却又有些破碎无法让人沉浸，还好少数几个人物倒也显得立体再加上可圈可点的服化道，没有白熬两个小时。
怎么让故事动人？树一个厉害的反派，敌人越残暴，那就说明英雄越厉害；
女主和老人是一个人演的啊喂 看到老人啪啪确实打了几个寒颤啊 ps里面的配乐好听
演员和美术道具可以，导演剧本摄影剪辑都差点意思，彪哥手雷那段高光，不愧是后世辽北第一猛人。游击队的故事本来是最富戏剧性和场景丰富性的，南斯拉夫的《瓦尔特保卫萨拉热窝》，《桥》。
国外版坏人变老了。这老太太逻辑招人恨啊。最后被汽车压头都没解恨哇。老太太散弹枪打小女魔头被后坐力弹出去比较真实。
2.5 我感觉那个鬼子军官脑子好像有点毛病
这是铁道游击队又一次被翻牌了啊，连同款歌曲都是。不同于成龙版本，这个版本更普通，就那种你看到有张涵予，抗日，你就基本能猜得出来都演了啥的那种电影。唯一的亮点是范伟这个角色，很喜欢他叫那个小伙子儿子的设定，特殊时期的弧度感直接被简单化拉满了。电影结束于火车上的枪战，跟日本将军的战斗甚至让我想到了银魂里的列车场景，因为这个反派太装逼了，放着大部队不用，非要单挑。为什么拍一部铁道电影，没有更好的利用好铁道，火车这些要素呢？我咋记得小时候的铁道游击队就利用的很好玩儿呢。
血腥与色情并存，如果再加个傻儿子，活脱脱《德州电锯》的场景。不过也告诉我们一个重要点：在美国，没事别乱窜门，在别人家里被爆头，那是无罪的，正当防卫。
