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.
看了点映。总体超出预期。尤其是影片前段，特别好，当时觉得这片子要爆。然后从隧道里怕水那一块，开始拉垮，创伤拉锯没完没了，对话尴尬。爆破隧道的演说可以更加合理。父亲牺牲那个特写真的没必要。不喜欢领导那些剧情。其实后半段剧情没问题，删去十分钟，会更紧凑好看。
金属外壳下的友情与爱情故事 真诚Rock 唯独故事情绪调动的还有点慢
老娘也要组band！！🤘🤘🤘
我坐在第三排，画面看起来特别爽，就是有些转场看起来有点晕，等出了4D场再去看一遍。
不出所料 被强按头煽情 片尾寥寥数语比正片震撼系列 一星给铁道兵 一星给我陈数
含剧透
中国就缺这样既有高度商业价值又能做到价值观输出的好电影。美国的拯救大兵瑞恩那样的价值观输出的电影让我们一直误以为美国真的是不放弃救援任何一个人。峰爆就是这样又燃又爆又正能量的大片。一起看点映的很多人都哭了，发自内心的感动。这就是基建狂魔之国，英雄存在于普通人中间。向中国铁建致敬
豆瓣评分比预想中的低，用灾难片的形式把中国铁道兵和基建人救灾的故事很多人认为不可能徒手攀岩，可是这个为什么是和平年代牺牲最多的兵种呢？就是因为他们在用生命创造奇迹啊！！洪工代表的当下中国铁建，老洪代表的就是无数牺牲的老铁建人呐！灾难片中融入了感情戏是和西方灾难片差异较大的点，朱一龙和黄志忠搭档上演父子的戏份让人动容，每一个配角分寸和感情投入都刚刚好，最后点赞一下朱一龙的演技。
都是青少年组乐队，抱着《初恋这首情歌》的心态看的，实际观感差太多了，人家那部是真找到了英伦摇滚的核，这部对金属乐的理解就像一个外行理解中的那样流于表面看个热闹，肤浅程度就和自己当年中学时一样中二，还记得我们当年给乐队取的名“燃烧金属”，在此之前有哥们取名“致命米迦勒”。
开局震撼，后期感动，只有中国人才知道灾难面前中国人的大爱和责任，演员演技都很在线，每个人都能给人代入感，我看电影很少哭了，但这个片子给我的感动，震撼，亲情，爱情，无一不让我激动
2.溶洞煽情时间太长，这里是我本片一直在玩手机的唯一地方
后面的剧情有点尬，从跳直升机开始，包掉了，后来证明包没啥用，自己过去都差点掉下去，老爹是怎么过去的？？？徒手攀岩就算了人家毕竟说是登过珠峰的，珠峰表示受到了侮辱。然后女老班把手机一起送过去不就是想让小情侣生离死别一下吗，然后又拼命的喊他上直升机。之后就是全片最让人惊呆的一幕，竟然直接跳上了飞机。。。那你倒是一开始就跳过去不完事了吗，老爸也不会死了啊。。。
6.5分，标准的灾难片，感觉又回到了宏大叙事的状态，前半段很好，每一个节奏点都走的精准到晚，高度的凝炼紧凑，有一气呵成之感。黄老师和朱一龙配合的很好，从头到尾张弛有度。焦俊艳和陈数也完全不像演员，更像是两位真实的铁建工作者。可惜中间开始剧情出现拉胯，在探水寻出口那一段运用原生家庭元素，多少有点不太自然。黄老师的老洪作为一个已经退休的铁道兵牺牲在茫茫的大山深处着实让人惋惜。
1.和平年代牺牲最多的兵种，致敬！谢谢你们！
场面和演员都还行，最大的问题是导演。整个起的太猛太急，缺少铺垫，以至于对后来保隧道还是救百姓的纠结十分错愕。大场面在前半程放鞭炮一样炸完，导致后半程含情量太高，很不适应。主角配角面对绝境的表现过于镇静，像是郊游时偶尔摔一跤，完全不像是生死时刻。主角选择牺牲的时机很奇怪，逻辑上就无法认同。
特效做得不错，切入点和格局都略显奇怪，一如过于俗套的救不了妈妈导致怕水的心理阴影桥段，立意拔高靠陈数淋雨演讲，张国立全程严肃立正，作为基建的献礼片也能理解，不过只能说还行吧。
如果导演和编剧不能处理人类复杂情感可以不拍，白瞎这个好题材
可以，挺有新意，但我不喜欢有感情线，剧情有点弱
铁道兵是一个非常容易被忽略的兵种，然而他们的牺牲率是很高的，这部影片致敬了铁道兵，是非常有意义的，特别是影片最后出现的当年的纪录片。影片节奏也不错，一点也不拖泥带水，干脆利落。
对“为什么不能给父子俩一套安全绳？”耿耿于怀。直升机上可以用发射器投绳子嘛，为什么不可以给父子留一套长点的安全绳，非得用自己的身体当脚点。
