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.
主题是很有意思的。不同的人经历了地震，失去家人，每个人的命运也随着自己的选择而走上不同的路。
和我说说话
王传君的片子真的都很不错，如他所说好长的故事，不知道莫名的喜欢这个故事，为什么王珞丹说讨厌自己的角色，为什么呢，明明是被迫生存，明明都是爱而不得而已！如苏所说他好的时候我不必在，不好的时候我自然在身旁！
311伤痛文学 可你们有些问题就算没地震也会存在不是么
这终于是一部，烂的跟主演一点关系都没有的电影了
震災は怪物だ。又是一部311震灾创伤片，霓虹金还真是能把大震灾题材翻来覆去地讲故事啊……应该也算是震灾10周年纪念片，濑濑敬久监督又一次选择了很稳的社会派题材然后很稳地讲完了它（并且依然稳定地没有新意），这种纪念题材给这位监督也算是一种稳不出错了。
社会派大多相对而言悬疑感就会弱一些——这部看到一半就猜到了——还是要靠“背后的故事”来取胜。而这部背后的故事，大约就是震灾过后每个人内心深处的PTSD，好人与恶人并无清晰界限，守望相助的短暂幸福感可能也无法救人，霓虹社会保障制度的弊端。10年过去伤痕也不会消失，不同的人选择了不同的埋藏安抚方式。其他好像并没有被震撼到。
从爱情出发，历尽生死，折返回归。时间改变所有人，无法改变爱的执念，只有失去才回过味来。不老永生的时间元素单薄无力，非常影响整体故事架构和情感走向。出走半生，相依相伴的感情才是人生真正该珍惜的，但无论如何，都该有情有义不是吗？
单纯懵懂，两小无猜，青梅竹马的两个人经过生活的打磨有情人难成眷属，要是能一竿子到底去讲好一个纯洁的爱情故事也挺好，女主逐梦演艺圈性情大变让人不适，总感觉到一种故事分裂
15-098日本《致那些得不到保护的人》
苦大仇深的无聊和困惑，濑濑敬久正常发挥罢了。
6.8。卡司无敌了，平静压抑痛苦，一如日本电影。所有人都有自己的坚持，且地震带来的更多。看到一半就知道反转的套路，比较硬。
一个不老之人一生的故事。
电影啊
社会救助怎么照顾个人的尊严？再潦倒的人也需要，尊严。哭死我了。越是这样沉默缓慢的讲这样的故事，看完越是悲痛。
異様な事件の裏に隠された、切なすぎる真実とは―
盛夏未来让我坐立不安，这个打分也是奇奇怪怪的，文艺片果然是不受钟爱，我和我朋友包场电影院了，两个人聊讨论，人，还是要真的脚踏实地之时，才能真的发自内心地探索生命的意义。
清原果耶看上去就像夏天的果汁，佐藤健真的拼啊，换了短发一下还没认出来。
电影核心是地震灾害造成的次生灾害？原生家庭的分离、社会保障的失位，感觉挺牵强的，导致最后的复仇杀人还是和性格有关，或者和日本人的变态性格有关吧。
没有想象中那么差。最后出车祸和女主给男主生孩子那段多少有点烂，整体上来说还行，男女主演技还是可以的，就是后面男主发型太丑了，说是30多有点沧桑了。
