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.
地狱和天堂，将化为乌有，留给你的，只是无尽的宇宙！
跨年拥抱场，然而电影晚了两分钟放，当拥抱出来的时候已经零点零二分了，一般会避开这类影片，陪朋友跨年才去看的。比想象中好一点，左右两旁的妹子都哭的稀里哗啦的，多多少少有点刻意煽情吧，很难避免。但整体还可以。比想象中好一点。电影之前在微博因为护士口红相关的宣传文案引起争执，事实上我觉得周冬雨的这部分台词也确实很硬（不像生活中会讲出来的话），另外很难想象贾玲和音乐老师在一起的画面。生活要现实的多吧。
片尾曲好好听『说好了不散』。
7分。配乐和各种剪辑，把电影整得不像电影。没什么电影艺术的美感。所以从“电影”的角度来看，总觉得它差点意思。但是如果抛开电影本身，将电影中的角色拎出来看，又会赞叹其中的美好。电影中的故事终究只是故事。
连行活儿的标准都没达到，影帝影后演起戏来都显得很轻浮，本应是含着深情的台词被随意念起。没有生活体验，没有细心钻研，只能利用夸张的方式掩盖自己无法共情的真相。更像一群人完成了一个任务，至于好坏并不重要。
希望通过小人物展现武汉疫情的温暖，但是过散了，而且有些真的刻意煽情了，显得有点假。不过黄昏恋是真的好磕，我太喜欢这一段一起白头的浪漫了。已经过了两年，那段记忆仿佛在梦里面，
不能在赚钱的时候，说市场经济，在危机的时候，就讲奉献。命题小作文大连排。
因为有现实背景而更加感人，黄渤、贾玲演技很赞。
跨年去看了这部电影，看的时候只顾被两位老人感动到，现在回想起来，演员的演技没问题，但整体剧情确实有够无聊，找不到重点。
我是先看了一下爱情神话，再接着看这一部穿越寒冬，感觉穿越寒冬的叙事能力，故事的编写水平，导演的拍摄手法，还有演员的后期配音，都非常让人难以接受，爱情神话也是两个小时，但是全程看完有一种意犹未尽的感觉，但是穿越寒冬，我看到一个小时就已经感觉已经实在难以忍受就离席了。你们去看看就知道了一切尽在不言中
最后的最后，给朱一龙两颗星吧，毕竟粉着他，虽然他在这里演技一般。。。
我们对于现实题材的电影已经匮乏到这个程度了
故事算是以疫情的大背景来讲一些普通人的故事，所以没有太多疫情的表述。
太过稀碎就是这类抗疫电影的通病，想要在两个钟的电影里展现尽量多的典型，但到最后发现没有一个可以讲得好的，电影本身就值两星，额外一星是给片中那些真实片段的，算是纪念那一段大家共同度过的特别日子。
在所有人物交代出场之前我觉得都是不错的
限定电影，限定眼泪，年初的时候不想看，现在身在疫区就也把它看完了，不太能评价这样的“电影”，致敬每一位疫往无前的前行者吧。
真的就是强行煽情，这么多好演员也是没有用武之处。还有那个高龄产妇的片段也真是令人不舒服，高龄产妇很常见吗？也是有风险的啊！还有爱情线和小护士突然下线都好突兀，反正不推荐看…坐在电影院就很难受！没有感同身受感，也没有写好这个题材！根本没有突出疫情背景下，小人物的命运，无法打动身为观众的我！（现在我还在电影院里，但是我觉得可以给出我的评价了）
说实话，蛮失望的，唯一的亮点就是爷爷奶奶那对的爱情和各地人民捐献这一块了，其他的几对爱情线和故事线真的看得我一脸问号，不要再拿疫情来当噱了
我从来没有对我们的“真实事件”改编电影抱有希望过。
虽然电影不太好看但是是和喜欢的人一起看的嘻嘻
