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.
还挺新奇有趣的儿童片，看了一半认出来杰西卡琼斯
还行吧，最终能自圆其说还是比较有逻辑的，氛围营造也ok，女主气质挺大气👍
黑白警探双雄对抗白人极右翼激进恐怖党派，白人娘炮，黑人鲁莽，我觉得应该对换一下，更有喜剧色彩。法国最近老拍这些ZZZQ的电影。打个6分吧。好奇问一下，法国的有色人种歧视问题严重吗？
剧情确实属于比较老套的，但是网飞超级清晰的画质欣赏法国的美景实在是太棒的享受了，特别是悬崖边的飞车追逐戏，简直是速度和美景的双重享受，还有法国田园风光的航拍，都非常好看。个人最喜欢的还有超市卡丁车的追逐戏，看完非常想尝试但是现实不允许。
一般吧，演技还行，剧本不行呀，很容易猜到剧情。
法语语速真的不慢呀！片子开头，结尾的节奏还可以，有些桥段敢拍敢播的，卡丁车追逐那里的拍摄是不是用了穿越机，拍得不错，剪辑的也过瘾！结合法国最近结束的总统选举，挺有意思！
个人认为这部剧的亮点在于有深度。它关于人性，关于批评腐朽文化，大结局挺感动的，可怕的不是妖魔鬼怪，而是人心。也不知道在豆瓣评分为什么这么低，我觉得一部好的作品是能和观众有一种对话，无言的对话，直击人心的对话，一种共眠。
女巫是假的，曾经也是被抓起来的小孩，利用沉睡的女巫制造药物获得魔力，最后因完美结局，女巫苏醒，两下打败假女巫，男主利用讲故事引真女巫进火坑盖起盖烧掉
配乐挺好听的，就是总感觉有股小时代味儿……
全程看着Diana和Kristine。真的好美啊。Kristine真的长了一副天生的配角脸。Diana就天生是主角。故事剧情太薄弱了，但是两个女主太美啦。当然我还是更喜欢Kristine
不是大人拍给孩子们的恐怖故事，像是小孩子自己编的故事。
黑白警探智破民粹主义案…移民，种族，肤色，同性，毒品各种问题大讨论…
丛林的设置成为释放现实压抑的出口 那段视觉太迷人了 情感肉体利益荣誉生存每个人都有自己要爬的山啄的洞 最后那场芭蕾编舞太有冲击力了 那一声声摔落的巨响 每日睡觉时是否可以无所愧 人生低谷是福分 重新崛起也是福分 “金钱爱情 若为自由故 皆可抛”
配乐挺好听的，就是总感觉有股小时代味儿……
还可以，小男孩挺可爱，但总感觉像谁。故事一般，舞美不错
有内味 色调完全不出戏，面具不错，但是演员不行，只有女主比较专注，细节应该再精致一点，镜头画面都可以的。剧情方面，出乎意料的丰富，是真的很好奇这种病。。在电影里求科普好像有点傻…
印象深刻的几个点，两个女巫见面开打以后主角跑出去那条通道让人想跳狼姐的she wolf，反派的毁灭也是一贯的轻松。儿童恐怖文学，对你是个怪胎你独特的情感戏腻了。
拍摄、色调还不错，但是故事确实没什么新意，女主好看但是演技着实拉胯
差评！电影开头摘抄的金刚经内容竟然都错了：是所有相，而不是有所相……
474 标准的网飞片，不过剧情有些亮点，游乐场那段拍摄也不错。奥玛希自从不可触碰出名后，说实话一直没啥好片子。包括很火的亚森罗宾其实也挺一般，ps他可真爱穿aj锕
