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.
有点恐怖，毕竟我数学不好，而且地狱还是用数学创造出来的新维度，不会解题就出不去呀！结局是有点好玩，可惜前期故事不行，不过也算是走出了恐怖片的新路线了，应证了中学老师的口头禅“学好数理化，走遍天下都不怕”这年头不会点数学都不好意思当魔神了 ，甚至连“薛定谔的猫”都懂，Baphomet要是没事干的话，真心推荐他去当数学家教，最好是教一些很调皮的学生。
要是能在具体的拍摄下怪物就好了，要不然白瞎了怪物的设计
怪物不错，她叔叔死的真冤，还不如去报警。不过这样也没后面了。
可以说烂片了，我以为有什么邪教历史背景，有什么复仇之类的目的，完全没有，为了吓人故弄玄虚，到最后也不知道在说什么，反转的也莫名其妙，女主的妈妈也没有帮她，反而要害她？？？怪物挺搞笑的，还会自己关起门
片荒可以看看，不过这电影逻辑还是挺有问题的，好多拖沓和讲不通的地方，后半截妻子向丈夫求助：“布莱恩，我需要你的帮助！”丈夫说：“不。”我还是第一次在恐怖片里看到这么直白地拒绝甚至不妥协一点真是绝了哈哈哈哈
一般电影，住在只限女子入住的廉价宾馆，结果是需要女子作祭品，获得可以实现愿望的魔神垂怜。剧情还行，前半段有些无聊。惊艳和反转之处在于，第一，魔神外形塑造，有种扭曲，诡秘的感觉，又仿佛是《灵笼》噬级兽的翻版；第二，结局幸存之人，终究抵不住诱惑，变成了魔神的仆人，劫后余生又化作劫。
冲着女主来的 一晃恐怖蜡像馆已经17年过去了
设定还算有意思，数学恶魔有点意思，被数学恶魔抓住的人会在地狱不停数数。剧情很简单，一家人搬入凶宅，先是家里的女儿消失在地下室，随后在地下室发现了神秘公式，原来之前的房屋主人研究数学研究出了去地狱的公式。最后结局是全家都开始数数了。神神叨叨的烂片。
前一个小时很平淡，只有零星的几个恐怖的点出现，最后的反转还是挺好的
个人认为，这部片子的逻辑其实一开始就跑没了，因为任何一个正常家庭，面对一个急于出售、价格低廉、装修诡异的大宅子，不都应该采取惟恐避而不及的态度吗？看似坚定的母亲，其实对孩子的成长缺乏关心，从她推出的方案来看，她早已将青少年当作流量的象征，甚至根本不考虑这些方案带给青少年的伤害。直到女儿出事，她才意识到就在她操纵着别人时，一股神秘力量也在操纵着她的家人。看似善良的父母，实际上也十分自私自利，而一直被暴凌的女儿才是全片中最无辜的存在。真实映照了“地狱在人间”的主题，也显示出了面对强大的邪恶力量，所谓的挣扎也只是虚妄。
5.4分。前面氛围营造得不错，尤其是女儿开始数数时最佳，但后面自从牛头怪出来以后就完全崩了，还好最后结局又拉回来了一点。邻家女孩变成邻家老妈大战牛头怪😂
外国的便宜大别也里面肯定有古怪，不是鬼就是妖怪。原来有的旧东西能扔就全扔掉，要不然随便不起眼的小玩意就能引发动乱，这次是播放喇叭，上上次是勇敢者游戏的棋盘，还有林间木屋里面各种老古董。不过那整面的书墙真赞啊！好想拥有
地窖里到底是另一维度还是地狱入口？这么多人在哪排队数数是要干嘛？用数学公式来召唤恶魔？现在的惊悚片越来越多元化了，还好最后结局不圣母
氛围不错，就是结尾手电筒敲别个手那里有点幽默
数数的点很新颖了 配乐也不错 标准的起源事发疑惑闪现解密反转，及格了
故事是扯蛋的，气氛是不错，演技是可以的，看完是值得的。
2星半吧，故事比较老套，前一个小时剧情沉闷，最后那盒子里的怪物形象倒是比较怪异，最后结局什么意思，女主也钻进盒子里了吗？
啥玩意啊，愣是没看懂，那怪物哪来儿的，男的用来干嘛的？
楣间拼书利维坦，上古巨兽含隐喻。
尽管特效有限，但低饱和度的画面与压抑克制的BGM还是把整个氛围演绎得非常到位，数学公式与无限报数的引入也让恐怖氛围更上一层楼
