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.
动作部分太灾难了，第一部的核心是武术指导啊！！！角色和段落都复制前作，还反复播放前作片段，突出帅哥迟暮么。看得我不仅不知道这一部在讲啥，也忘了之前在讲啥。
其实还不如拍成爱情剧，可能会没那么难看~6.0
《马戏之王》中年爱情组的某种“售后”，看到Hugh狼和Rebecca互相直视的时候，下秒就感觉两人要控制不住安排一个唱段，成了仅有的看点- -记忆命题晦涩而又模糊，然后电影仍然不忘强行安排许多突兀并且在不同地方跳跃的打戏、“黑乎乎的赛博感”和突然深重配乐而起的爱情戏来疯狂迷惑观众。Thandiwe Newton的“Watts”比想象中更有存在感，这个角色的设置也丰富了“Nick”本身的背景，Lisaの真爱是她（：
还以为是部悬疑烧脑的科幻片，没想到竟然是爱情片。接受这个设定后倒也还不错了。。。
3.5星，花半小时让我们再重新思考这个故事的起源，官方玩梗自嘲启动第四部的原因；从男主换成了女主；几乎是第一部的翻版；视觉上能玩的基本都被玩过了，包括桥段，快银的时间，速度与激情的僵尸车，等等，但还是能带入回忆和情绪～
叙事杂乱，动作敷衍，整个电影格调跟三部曲无法相提并论。话说因为此片重看了一遍前两集，有一种奇特的体验，简单来说就是“原来20年前我看过那么登峰造极的电影，靠，那我现在看得都是一些什么垃圾玩意儿啊”
我想接着看黑客帝国的哲思…毕竟matrix是一个很直接的隐喻，一个单纯用思维就可以控制和运行的世界，简直是人的灵魂和肉体相分离/相联系的具象体现…结果我看了部抑郁患者的爱情片
给 Morpheus 穿的花里胡哨的和服“女装”
现在你不用命令我了，因为我是志愿者。
有悬疑有爱情有豪门恩怨有科幻还有休杰克曼，还要啥？
Lana Wachowski's Contractual Obligation reboot/remake AKA 沃卓斯基兄变姐的non-binary变性之旅；有点尽义务似地去二刷了黑客四，没想到观感有了质的飞跃。这么一部沉浸世界的元电影，最好的体验方式肯定还得是去个生活中距离最近的元宇宙-电影院欣赏，尽管说大早上偌大的IMAX厅里，跟我一同接入插头的寥寥无几
诺兰时代的“追忆迷局”，宣告了一种叙事模式、包装策略与概念文本的全面谢幕。
听到那个对法语骂人形容的时候我还是初中生 然后竟然还真学了法语 😂
好喜欢Jonathan Groff，他应该演个主角去。
看这片，我真的就是情怀！
完全没有剧情啊，不好看，同看的小伙伴看一半跑了。到最后的丧尸剧情和男女主双宿双飞雷到我了！看到底都没明白为什么爱情线这么重要？他们在一起就全世界和解了？唯一还可以的是男是女的颜
年度最佳描边枪战。
纯看颜，弗格森的礼服、狼叔的魅力可以让人忽略成段成段格言式台词爱情片主演的年龄，以及忽略科幻设定悬疑片的逻辑。
草哈哈哈哈哈那个疯癫的法语回收站是海洛文啊哈哈哈哈
空有一个回到过去的科幻设定，水中城市以及阶级对立的部分诠释得很糟糕，更别提片子的主线竟然是狼叔的恋爱戏，虽然他极力表现深情，但观众很难投入到这小情小爱里，尤其后半段情伤后的跌堕也太俗套了，还是剧本侧重有问题，该展开的没展开。
