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.
人和动物如何友善相处 真是个有趣的且非常重要的问题！
基督最后的诱惑+道连格雷的画像+小王子。David Lowery就像我们写高考作文一样，总是亲切和蔼地给一段点题的长独白。情感上我还是更喜欢A Ghost Story，但是这部也可圈可点。
论如何利用电影在豆瓣实现自我满足
成为勇气的证明也许未必需要拥有特别的勇敢，正像成就伟大之事也可能无须通过每一项考验， 决定性的因素发自于你的旅程以及你的心底，也可能旅程的意义就是让你发掘内心的疑问并给出自己的答案。影像和美术系统的构建可称出色，但故事核心的铺陈和展露相对平庸，要想理解其中的表达必须有对原故事的了解，而即便加入了原作的对照系，新赋的意念和读解也只是囿于去神圣化的个人和人性视角，缺乏特别的创见和新意，不是没有妙笔但远未能成就佳章。
一个骑士故事，应当对“叙述”这件事情本身有更高程度的自觉才是。

摄影打光配乐 十分出彩 ，但故事就有点不知所云了 ，又臭又长 。
朕就一普通人，看這裝神弄鬼沒頭沒腦的實在痛苦！而且女人都爆醜！！！！！
出门旅行
仿佛在玩打了鲜艳MOD的老滚5，小狐狸可爱到想要。
一部男人成长史，拍的非常好，灯光摄影一流，史诗般的美感。人上人男主离家闯荡，经历各种社会毒打和诱惑，承受不住了，回去继承家业，最后娶了一个门当户对的女孩与其共度一生（女主实惨）。结局反转感觉不像真的，估计是为了突显骑士精神而设计的，因为片尾彩蛋女儿戴上了王冠。
这探索迷人
像看一幅幅油画贴到一起，画面感觉是有了，但是表演上乏善可陈，剧本也跟不上拍，没有说出一个很好的故事，太过于晦涩
不看解说真的看不懂。A24的电影视觉上真的真的很有保障，但也就这样了。
灯光和BGM营造了一个很棒的世界观。故事中的水有点多，中间就好像是在故意吓唬人。总之真正的骑士是可以直面恐惧
摄影、美术、光影效果均属上乘，剧情层面属于我看不懂，也没受震撼。
配乐和取景都不错，缺点在于这里面出彩的都是非人的事物。
故事没什么新意，讲述一个成长的故事，掺杂着巫术内容，哪怕主角是一个骑士并且了解了骑士精神与影片段落的对照，整部作品仍旧是一个视觉表现力很强的童话故事罢了
虽然是很棒的动物题材，但可能正因为是动物题材，所以整部电影并没有非常惊艳，反而是该慢的地方一笔带过，该快的地方却多给了几个镜头。不过往好的方向来讲，影片想要传达的保护动物的信息我接收到了，希望无论是人或者动物，在这个大的世界都能享受到平等的待遇和自由的生活。
这故事看电影时经常看到美国家长给孩子做睡前阅读。
