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.
太感动了，呜呜呜，疫情下每一个普通人的付出，真是因为有他们的付出，我们才能从那场疫情中走出来。
#2022圣丹斯# 都已经这么套路，还可以这么不合理，导演有没有考虑过前面长达半小时的无意义铺垫会让多少人弃片
太差了，食人魔恋爱脑，男女主毫无火花各演各的，既没有电锯惊魂的大尺度，也没有文艺片的美感。
在小红书看到跳舞片段，莫名被诱惑，但排斥题材没去看；二次整理相册，仍被吸引，且觉男女主不是会演肤浅片子的演员，遂去B站看解说，果然有层次，并不肤浅，不错，不错。
剧本有点粗糙了，更早有一部优秀的同类片，叫水果硬糖
2022开年我为我国烂片大业又贡献了40块。40块是我给贾玲爱情线的份子钱。演员都是好演员，电影煽情不如短视频混剪。贾玲朱一龙爱情戏能看，属于本片财富密码。高亚麟那段看得我犯恶心（大雨天得知催债的朋友去世俩人吵着吵着吵到夫妻感情问题完事儿大雨天车灯前拥抱，有没有觉得有点不尊重逝者。吵架内容有点让人反胃。女儿刚生，中年夫妻又喜提二胎，积极响应国家政策，太感动了），韩甜甜唱歌挺好听的。其他情节唱赞歌水平就是春晚小品，没了
想看的东西都没有，有点裤子都脱了给我演喜剧的还逗不笑我的感觉。
太恶心了，这几天做菜看到猪肉牛肉都会觉得不适。随之而来的疑惑是如果在被强迫吃不喜欢的东西，一般会直接吞而不是细嚼慢咽吧😂猎人对猎物产生感情也很不专业。
拍的跟个官方宣传片一样，人物从里往外都透着努力演的味道。黄渤人设完美的没有任何私心杂念，只能仰望无法共情。只有小黄鸭像个生活里活生生的小妹妹，最大的泪点也在于她。贾玲朱一龙CP放一起真的各种违和，审美决定喜好，钢琴老师或者和送快递的能够成为朋友，产生双向爱情却小概率到无法想象。中年夫妻隔离在家造人，生了个跟外孙一样大的娃，除了响应国家号召没法理解为什么这么拍。刘昊然那么大的海报，最后就酱油到只露个脸说句词就退场。拼拼凑凑的主旋律，段位离不过尔尔的《中国医生》还差着一大截。

一个半小时之后的反杀 i dont need that shit
首先你得知道这部剧，是关于吃人肉的故事，另外小心网恋奔现，也许不仅仅是要剌你腰子，是想把你整个人当猪肉一样食用并卖掉。
当大兄弟把这部电影展现在我面前时，
作为一部恐怖片，它最大的问题是，即不恐怖，也不惊悚连血腥都很少，拍得最好的是前面谈恋爱部分，建议导演改行拍爱情喜剧
表面上看是一部教导女性洁身自爱不要轻易相信陌生人帅哥搭讪的防止恋爱脑宣传片，实际上不还是一部打着旗号的“女权片”么？就连被绑架最后出逃的三位女性也要凑齐黑白黄三色，这对于近两年来受够了好莱坞这种倾向的人来说无疑是一个扣分项，这还没提片中的几位男性角色也被具象化了几种刻板形象。 明明是有着一部非常多内容可以去讲述的电影，却仅仅局限于肉体表面的“缠绵”，影片无力也无意去展开背后肉体生意的种种细节，惊悚感和悬疑感被大打折扣，就连384那位断腿女人的描绘也都浅尝辄止。这就让这样一部无论哪里看都像《逃出绝命镇》姊妹篇的《新鲜》成为了一部彻头彻尾的虚名之作，不过想想它背后是Disney也就不足为怪了。
不傻白甜的女主就惹人喜欢，扮猪吃老虎，以牙还牙
男主没看错，女主不是一般人，懂得卧薪尝胆，一击即中，最后反杀也算是以其人之道还治其人之身了。巴基长相太过邻家少了一丝变态的感觉，Daisy又实在不像会一直单身很久的女子。
2022025这个剧本的噱头足够强大！极其符合我的胃口。但结果电影结束之后我的反应：就这？导演你明明想知道要什么却不给！色调和画质不错，两个小时蛮值
