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.
一堂历史课。在恶魔眼中，生命只不过是一页页PPT中的kpi而已
如果忽略此次会议的议题，这就是一场非常标准的圆桌政治博弈，各派系间就自身利益最大化展开争论、说服、协商、妥协；然而即便派系观点和利益存在冲突，但他们在犹太人种族灭绝的问题上却是空前一致，令人不寒而栗。
很工整的一部电影，加菲及各演员的表现都很棒，音乐也还行。节奏来说稍微有点紧，叙事很复杂的情况下加入了歌舞，总觉得很赶。那段爱情真的很可惜。

全程都封闭在房间里的拍摄，一桌人谈话间决定另一个种族的生死，而每个人都冷漠得令人窒息，所有生命的价值在对话间甚至不如“一节车厢运力带来的成本”高，他们却觉得只是一个简单的“在别墅里的会议”。
不如《阴谋》（2022.5.07豆瓣8.0分）
十几个一桌几个小时决定了了几百万人的生死。 在他们的位置应该早已将人数字化，物化了吧，所以我完全无法想象这种心境，但也更加警醒自己内心的恶，肯定比我想象的更大，如同我们以为自己不会犯罪，但实则我们没被放在那个环境。
这个会议其实放在当代职场也很适用，拍脑门做决定的领导和附庸想做成绩又怕背锅的打工人，那个质疑的声音从此职场怕是都不好混（电影比我看过所有的二战纳粹屠杀犹太人的电影都更令人窒息，人性道德良知根本不存在，谬论听到作呕

对于原作未读的观众还是比较友善的 整个脚本很平 没有什么特别大的起伏 包括声优阵感觉蛮浪费的 作画也是意料之外的一般 嘛 就是搬漫画上大荧幕 同类叙述方式可以参考一下当年X剧场版如何调动情绪 但对于年轻一代恐怕是永远无法共感吧
把过去的罪恶公之于众，需要的不仅仅是勇气，还有就是对历史的否定。一群道貌岸然的人，神情轻松的讨论最终解决方案，穿插着谈论各自的家庭美满和子女，形成了巨大的反差，耐心看完全片并不会感到枯燥。
しゃけ！mappa的制作非常可，考虑再去看遍反正也没有别的娱乐…
在当今日本漫画届，最接近和承袭日本黄金时代漫画故事框架和霸气的就是这部咒术回战，当然，黄金时代这样的漫画大把，而且都是长连载，这个咒术回战才刚出几辑就被发掘了，也说明日本漫画的整体实力目前其实是低谷。
我们今天负重前行，只不过是让我们的后代能生活的更好……那背后，是1100万生命。 人，可以以正义的名义，做出无数泯灭人性的事。

爱到执迷，幸好成了，不幸成了。倒数时刻切肤之痛，想做，做不出，论文，工作，感情，在犹豫在踯躅在原地兜圈。
一个国家跨部门的高规格会议，他们井然有序、配合无间，然而议题是计划种族大屠杀…
从影像来说，就just so so，给个三星的原因真的是有警世作用的还原，但不如真的就索性更真实一点的来个纪录片。
