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.
1.体育叙事
适合在CCTV6播放那种。香港选什么不好选这样一部冲奥
故事基于真实的人物事件，拍得朴实自然。情感真挚而不过度卖惨，母子互相依偎也会有理念冲突，后面母子二人看台上爆发的片段很容易让观众产生共鸣，因为现实中也会真实地遇到这种很难用对错来评判、解决的矛盾。影片没有反派角色，却点中了很多残疾人士的痛点，比如适应社会生活、同工同酬、金钱和荣誉的平衡。几位主演的功力深厚，润物细无声。
残疾运动员苏桦伟的传记影片，从背景交代到个人成长再到矛盾冲突之间的起承转合都完成得不错，有奥运精神与现实之间的艰难抉择，亦有母亲与残疾儿子之间的伦理思考，但略显不足，整体还是呈现了中国人自强不息的民族性格，告诉大家只要自强每一个妈妈都会“神奇”，每一个儿子都会是“小子”。正如现在的香港，以往共聚“狮子山”，现在背靠“大湾区”，只要自强何惧之有。
成功者有相似的努力也各有各的苦衷，但在我们唏嘘冠军唏嘘胜利的时候，二弟最终还是成为了家庭的“牺牲者”，所谓父母对孩子往往也有太多的个人“偏好”，虽然着墨不多但至少给出了探讨。同时又蜻蜓点水的探讨了媒体传播对人的异化——人有时就是需要作出取舍。
还有一点感触：训练来不得一点马虎和分心，“偷懒”的每一分都会应验在自己身上。
还可以，虽然有点地方有点像公益广告，但是基本上还是呈现出了温暖且残酷，现实且有力量的效果。吴君如演妈妈真的永远自带催泪buff。男主每每奔跑起来我都鼻酸，开始思考跑步这件事到底意味着什么：人类与时空作斗争，与自己作斗争，与命运作斗争。以及也是一个不错的粤语区影像，香港总是能让我想起小时候的广州。
如果不是因为观影活动，真的很难狠下心让自己去电影院看这样一部电影，因为生活已经很惨了。我的朋友秀仔最近在看特奥会（还是残奥会？），她说真的看得非常难过。我在年纪很小的时候，一度因为这种难过而许愿世界上不要再有任何残疾人，现在则会许愿盲道好走一点，残疾人的就业渠道通畅一点，我也试着力所能及地帮助他们。这是一部励志体育片，是一部让我们能更加体会到生之艰难的电影，粤语对白很棒，值得为它走进电影院。扣一星是因为我不太喜欢完美英雄和过度的煽情，道理我懂，但很不人性。
因为他有一对好父母，所以他的故事没有那么悲伤，反而是很多温情
论基因检测和产检的重要性，毕竟不是每一个残缺的孩子都幸运的拥有天赋、不肯放弃的母亲、独具慧眼的教练。而我们能规避的最好方法，就是尽量不让残缺的孩子来到世界上，这也是对孩子负责，如果残缺的孩子真的来了，请把他也当作星星的礼物，不要放弃他，把他当作正常人，过度的怜悯更刺伤他的自尊心。
电影完全没有进入一个残障运动员真实生活的内部，无论剧本，演员，台词，服装，像极了塑料味极重的装饰，不仅在在痛苦与煎熬的外部滑行，而且在试图制造感动的过程里，因为浮贴，隔离，而不断消解真实事件的感人力量。
金Jer首神奇之路听到好感动！
基本上是开场就会掉眼泪，残疾运动员不容易，残疾运动员的父母更不容易，而这点在片中母子俩最大的冲突中，苏妈也终于忍不住说出这多年的痛。全片靠着三姑的情感带动，三位“苏桦伟”表现也相当出色，令这个神奇的故事最终能够精彩呈现。三位“苏桦伟”都有机会争夺明年的金像奖最佳新人奖（具体看片方如何报名），而三姑应该能凭借此片再度封后，她所饰演的母亲，并不是大呼大叫、强权控制的类型，她身上那种隐忍的痛太令人揪心。
迫于实际情况的结构和主题切入，已经做到最合理。人啊，在你擅长的跑道一直跑下去，你才有机会做成骄傲的人，换别的任何地方，你都是平庸甚至差劲的残障人士。
不知道为什么，吴君如在港澳女星里不算拔尖，我看过的作品也少，却莫名有种好感。
意外的还不错 比较纯粹 刻意煽情不多。必须粤语版 国语配音出戏。

吴君如演的真好。体育电影中的上乘之作，有几个点很感动。现实中的苏桦伟好看。
妈妈你一直为我而跑
这居然是新片？还以为是翻牌阿甘的老掉牙！再一看简介是真人真事改编？好吧那就加一星
