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.
实际可以三星，但第一夫人珠玉在前，要扣一星。导演层面其实和第一夫人的套路几乎一样，区别在于剧本和女主的表演。剧本上难度其实更大，第一夫人有意外事件作为引领和引爆叙事的动机，也保留了一定的悬念，结构很像红白蓝的《蓝》，人物旅程比较清晰、可预见。本片则没有这样的动机，且人物是被困在原地没有动也不能动的，叙事肯定更难处理。剧本做了最大程度的努力，结尾破题也不错，可以算是及格。问题确实在女主身上。波特曼的表演和Jackie的角色也神经质和端着，但波特曼的度明显拿捏得更好。暮光女不仅有过度表演的问题，状态也不够松弛（表演状态和角色状态是可以分开的），再加上蹩脚的口音和模仿痕迹。这些细节最后造成了观感的天差地别，不得不说是表演决定成败的典型案例。
mindblowing（！（可以肯定的是 一些自以为高级的影迷将对于美貌和华服所映射出的自卑化作了对影片的鄙夷 做后做出电影肤浅的断言 可怜啊 仿佛你们除了美貌和浮华什么都经历过了
海报展示了这电影的一大亮点就是服装设计啊，小K表演压抑和情绪变化其实不错，但是故事好平淡诶，如果不知道背景故事&很难理解人物的内心0
莫名其妙，我不觉得特别差。小k确实……说不上来是精准地表现神经质的状态还是简单的用力过度，台词说得有点奇怪。
一般，第一次看戴安娜王妃的故事，真压抑啊，小K演出了那份阴郁，不过有点过了。
稻草人穿她爸的衣服?她爹是伯爵啊。
运用各种方式进行过度的情绪堆积，却毫无故事和人物。看完只会觉得戴安娜是个"spoiled kid"，这才最可怕。胶片真美。

「這屋裡說什麼都能被聽到，連心思也是。」我太能共情她了，壓抑自己的天性來適應世界。雖然KS的演技和口音很扣分，我仍然喜愛這部電影，因為我太懂這個女人發瘋的原因了，好像在看我自己，我一上網查，她果然是INFP。Fuck doctor, what you need is love.
影片最成功的地方就在于定位准确，导演不想拍普通的皇室传记片也不想探讨太复杂的问题，反而呈现了一部压抑焦虑的psychological thriller，用人物情绪推动情节发展，运用了大量的隐喻和幻想场景，这点上就比很多什么都想拍什么都拍不好的传记片强太多。KS的表演也很贴合人物心理状态，越往后越渐入佳境，几处重点戏的眼神非常动情细节处也拿捏到位(用力过猛之处在于英音的吐词，还得模仿戴安娜压低嗓音)，另外摄影和配乐也是一流的，艺术观赏性上很强。

El 7 de diciembre de 2021, en Cine Yelmo Luxury Palafox, Madrid, 9,90€. Kristen Stewart真是charming啊……这个眼妆太绝了
8/10.
把Diana和Anne Boleyn做勾连是一个亮点，我从来没有想过在亨利八世离婚案里，那个被处以叛国罪并被砍头的王后会有什么心路历程。
封建社会真的擅长吃人，especially in吃女人。令人惊讶的是评论区里对戴妃和女演员的情绪要求，你们这样也是在要求她做你们想要的那个人，这样和the👑有什么区别我看不出来。
但过于碎片化的心理状态描摹却也一定程度上让小k的表演显得零碎而缺乏完整性，脱离于时空与历史整体的人物也始终略微空洞，不过女主提名是板上钉钉，个人也希望能最终获奖
看完了想吃炸鸡。我不太理解为什么奔跑舞蹈显得那么突兀，感觉预告片里的一段原封不动出现在电影里，形式上有些生硬。感觉拍吃的拍的特别符合情绪，军队运输的水果，奶油里的珍珠，以及冰柜里直接用手抓起来的蛋糕明确地串起来精神状态和压力。
小k的英音惊艳了我，这些年在独立电影界的摸爬滚打成就了她，一个好的演员必然要走上演技磨练的道路，现在她的演技可以算是炉火纯青的地步了
一出独角戏。Kk演技进步惊人，配乐很阴间。不是提前知道剧情，分分钟以为自己在看《闪灵》
