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.
除了血和火，其他颜色都近乎黑白的色调大加分。看片尾字幕，连各地方言都有专业指导老师，最强漫改实至名归。
结尾和第一部形成了完美闭环。
的确跟ova不一样的观感，有惊喜到，尤其是村花。
剧情很完整，画面也很好，是个很好的故事，也获得了与之相匹配的呈现。
PS：砍最终boss的那一刀不是被巴挡下了么...怎么他也倒了...被杀气震死的不成？
演职人员表里面还有武井咲害我期待到最后一秒，我要看甜甜的恋爱o(o･`з･´o)ﾉ不要悲伤!佐藤健真是个大帅比。最后房子烧起来意识到这个系列真结束了，有点不舍
因为拍摄的是人斩拔刀斋所以可以肆意洒血浆，感觉导演心中的剑戟片之魂被完全点燃了……跟前四作完全不是一个风格哦
“抱歉，全都丢给你决定，未免太狡猾了…”剑心停下来转过头朝向阿巴：“跟我一起生活吧。” 我靠这段我哭爆
想领略拔刀斋的真正风采，只能从追忆篇入手。作为OVA的天花板，《追忆篇》的真人版翻拍很难做到大众满意。配乐，镜头运用很棒，秉承了OVA的高品质。但是和神级原作比起来部分设定还是感觉铺垫不够。尤其是雪代巴的处理，虽然巴的日记给了解释，但情感转变还是感觉有些生硬。一个生性善良的人，为了信仰，却不得不做着与自己天性完全违背的事情，内心的痛苦是时时刻刻的，所以在这一篇中，剑心唯有在那一段远离江湖的田园生活里才能露出笑容。反派死于话多。桂没动漫里儒雅，有点流氓气息。绯村有着超英的恢复速度，巴还像睡着一样，自己一身伤却都好全了。最后画面地上插把刀，用一句俗语，哥已不在江湖，可江湖满是哥的传说。结束的时候还是有些不舍的，去重温一遍OVA。
这其实应该当做第一集，而不是最后一集，东亚维新唯一成功的国家，霓虹。
乃至是武士存在性的问题
系列五部影片都看完了，好看！结合当时霓虹国历史辞旧迎新的激烈，来体会日本在传统和现代之间的美，亚克西！
新选组这装束看着跟全真派道士似的（。
从巴的真实身份被揭穿到雪中交战，再到读日记、放火烧屋，电影最后几幕重头戏之间的衔接太好了。情感起初是克制的，然后在悲戚和回忆中徐徐升温，最后随着熊熊燃烧的烈火和剑心离去的身影彻底爆发，看到这里，你才会觉得终于懂了巴，也懂了为什么会有后来的剑心。追忆篇无愧最强漫改系列作品的顶点之作，如果说10年前看第一部时更多是惊喜，现在则只剩下享受了
明明是乱世里面的两个悲惨的人相互取暖，却因为彼此而心有所寄。从最初的邂逅，到最后孤身一人，“良人随雪飘零去，生者独守十字伤”，当剑心用一团火来告别过去时，坚定前行的刽子手拔刀斋，从此再无弱点。
剑戟片打斗做的还蛮好的（比上一部好）但还是没法接受佐藤健老师肺痨病人一样的演出……
还是先看了追忆篇，唉，伤疤封印的设定完全没提啊，大友啓史真的是……这一部文戏部分这么多，一下子就看出来了影片的漏绽在哪。但是结尾回到鸟羽伏见之战，还是蛮感动的。
先看追忆篇。非常写意，应该是五部里面最写意文戏最多的一部，且最有正剧风。bug有瑕疵有，但不影响整体，成功勾勒凄美的情感，刀糖齐发。动荡的时代，渺小的个体，时代洪流冲刷剑与心，爱恨成全具体的人，而非工具。要打戏有打戏，要吻戏有吻戏，一个字：好，两个字：很好，三个字：非常好，四个字：我很满意。清冷少女vs野性少年，磕生嗑死。无论是浪客绯村剑心还是刽子手拔刀斋，他都是巴心爱的男人。白月光照耀他整个生命，死前那一刀是爱和守护，封印剑心的嗜血与疯狂足足十年——甚至更久。至于下一个、下下一个十年？交给薰同学了。
3.5，村花还是没能把握住雪代巴的气质。这一部整体感觉厚重了些，但是主角两人的羁绊就没有塑造出来。
村花美如画，这个追忆篇好沉重哦，喜欢元气一点的剑心。杀人机器剑心看着有点难过
