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.
冲着赵震雄+崔宇植来的 期待值还蛮高的 没想到是这样一部又臭又长的片
对比《巴黎淘气帮》《地球上的星星》《无人知晓》《何以为家》《我的九月》《看上去很美》等电影，《皮皮鲁与鲁西西之罐头小人》里演员们的整体表演真挺“劝退”我的（田雨的表现倒是还可以）。
有人说改编的不好，可能你的记忆有误。还有说角色塑造太差，你看过郑渊洁吗？
前半部分太平了，节奏感和氛围感不强，导致虽然演员演技都不错却始终难以吸引人。
剧情要是能再丰满一点就很赞了，主演们演技在线！
超前观影打卡。出乎意料还不错，竟然能在全年龄向的剧情里把老郑作品那种微荒诞和带刺现实矛盾感呈现出来一些，整体没有怎么用力过猛，less is more。现在追了十几年选秀再看这段作品的电影化才发现，罐头小人里面武力担当智力担当外语担当才艺担当都很齐全，完全适合打包出道……（所以才有红沙发乐队的吧，不过没有拍这段，也好，我觉得红沙发乐队根本很难还原，还不如就不碰，希望不是flag）小演员演得都不差，皮皮鲁相对最好，特别松弛，没有演着演着让人觉得“好认真”但是入不了戏的感觉，而且自带喜感。电影还有一个优点是煽情不会过长，会用笑点打断，作为一个煽情尴尬症患者我表示观影比较舒适。最后，老郑特别登场那段真的很像武侠小说里面的世外高人梗……是您自己要求的吧！Ps.上尉真的是理想型
5.5吧 大家都算正常发挥 属于一切方面都没惊喜那一类
节奏真的有问题，警官之血的成长与传承被埋在一盘散沙里
可以放过小奸小恶、包庇同为犯罪者的线人，利用边缘罪犯抓更坏的人 ！虽然表面上会遭人质疑嫌恶，但这是否也是实践正义的另一种极佳方式！
老是觉得皮皮鲁&鲁西西不真实，感觉只是作者批判教育制度的工具人，不像真实的儿童。
电影很一般呀，但是能看到赵震雄亦正亦邪的警察形象就很值得了
2022年的第一个四星作品。
说实话，我看这片云里雾里的，好多人物名字，我记不住他们谁做了什么，这应该不是我的问题，应该是导演讲不清楚一个故事，每个人没有在我这里留下印象，不是我以为的小崔是卧底到底的故事，而是给出了警察是否可以站在灰色地带执法的问题？这个赵震雄我是第一次看他的电影，感觉演技不错，总的来说是一种不太了解故事，仍旧有被吸引住的电影吧
又臭又长，崔宇植的演技好浮啊，和赵震雄简直不在一部戏里
卧底是闹着玩的吧，前面还以为班长故意让他拍照跟踪......男主被捅刀也很无语......
唉，看了30分钟看不下去，我已经不是孩子了，不过就电影论电影本身的素质还是不太行的，演的不行，改编的不行，特效也不行，因为没看完就不评分了。论教育那些事儿这片完全没有力度，论童心这事儿吧，确实又和现实脱节，毕竟现在的小学生是在互联网时代下长得的，这些传统的只能留给他们的父母去回忆去怀旧了，但作为大人又很难看的进去这般相对低幼的剧情。
看在小崔和我朴叔的份上多给一星。
演技不错！内容新颖。但是不知道是翻译的问题还是剧情不够清晰，很多地方没看懂…..
不太明白结论以恶制恶是好事么。新年的第一部电影
电影好难看。。但是你崔腿真的好长，好喜欢🥺🥵
