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.
韩版《黑天鹅》 女主妈妈才是真的老戏骨 出场戏份不多但真的可以抢走很多焦点感 女主眼神变化很棒 虽然剧情老套 但是演技值得夸赞
中期悬念不足节奏不紧凑很难让人看得下去，并且偶尔出现的恐怖片惯用伎俩有点画蛇添足
如果我当初多氪两块钱，是不是就能少一位可怜人的儿子/女儿/老婆/老公是哑巴
故事的内核应该是来自于黑天鹅，后面又堪称82年的金智英的暗黑版。比较再现了 高丽国的女性职场困境，压力山大啊
之前因为主播反响平平并没有很想看这部，但这两天在思考有什么没看过的片子适合用来写人物精神疾病分析时，突然想起了这部，最终是为了选修课作业打开了主播（。）事实上大大超出我的预期，本以为是心理惊悚，结果前半段的氛围不输恐怖片，甚至还有jump scare，看了导演采访，说是因为导演本人很喜欢恐怖片。切入点很独特，母与女，亲情与恨意交织生长，把你变成另一个我的变态控制欲。无论是已婚还是未婚妈妈都抱有对新生命的恐惧，没有孩子，生活就没那么糟糕了indeed.希望能看见更多女性导演尝试这样的题材。
看看人家这公司为了卖卡而做的努力，再看看我们那些狗策划为了撕卡而做的付出……
男女主颜值不过关，剧情简陋，歌也不好听，冲着编剧来的，很失望。
好漫长的两小时，节奏慢又毫无意义，作用即是让我重新清醒认识少年暧昧的愚蠢？
？？？ 我等了这么长时间就这？ 看来以后只能期待外语片了，快进看完，半星给人物设定。
2.5 是可以接受的用於放鬆大腦的偶像劇（雖然我覺得可以短半個小時）除了李沐 全員超齡 cast都不太好的感覺 周興哲演18歲誰信啊？！15年後變成了林柏宏？這是科幻片嗎？？？對不起周興哲雖然聲音還蠻好聽 但真的太醜了 好好唱歌不好嗎 不過劇情還好 不愧是網紅文 // 片子在香港票房算相對還不錯 於是和朋友討論為什麼明明有市場但香港沒有人拍這些 而且隨便想了幾個想看的演員 好像都太老了（笑）
阵容很ok，除了男主，导致在看到女主对男主产生感情前都在祈祷：不要不要是他做的早餐除了他谁都可以😅...
本来冲着申河均去看的，主题和呈现方式的新颖与敏感算是意外的惊喜，某种程度上来说还是需要相信申河均对电影作品选择的能力，他应该是在自己所能选择范围内选了最好的东西去演绎了。
上映一周内去看的，是在池袋TOHO，人超多……剧情总体跟着游戏流程走，没有什么吸睛点（看到游戏里的推し动起来感觉真不一样www）不过跟着剧情走也暴露出了一个弊端，终章出场角色太多了，导致每个人分配到的台词份很少，甚至没有台词，除了几位以外其他的厨子可能要失望了(ﾟoﾟ;;
生育对女性的巨大的不确定甚至风险，各个方面的。
悬疑打头让夏天比较清凉，整部电影的矛盾冲突清晰，故事讲述也有条有理，一开始我就怀疑妈妈是自己的想象，千禹熙的演技真的棒，瞬间变另一人。也探讨了母爱，女人生育和职场的压力，扭曲。
女主演技太好了，看得很带感，镜头语言很有趣
前面恐怖悬疑后面探讨单亲妈妈的心理状况和职场困境，因为主角演技太好很能代入看哭了
剧情很日系，男主很韩系。主线幼稚平淡，支线反而更有趣。优点是胜在创作野心不大，不强塞观点，以及情绪表达的克制感，可惜最后一幕破功。在铁道两边相视一笑就行了，不用非得亲亲抱抱。
女主演技太好了，看得很带感，镜头语言很有趣
确实是能猜到反转的电影，暗示得太明显了，有一种导演生怕你看不懂的感觉。如果没接触过这种题材可能觉得新鲜，但稍微多看几部电影就能猜出来了。感觉拍的时候还可以再收着点。不过主题很有意思，而且是女导演拍的，多加一星，还是推荐看看。
