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.
第一部还有快银式视觉奇观，公路式友情。到这一部直接躺平，剧情全面低幼化了。
肾白金，男人加油站，可爱的闽南口音，加一星。
有笑有泪 演员们演技很好
多了新角色导致叙事更拖沓了，而片尾的彩蛋暗示还有第三部，这真的拍得下去吗……
有大话的味道，我觉得蛮好的。紫霞很特别，不错。
想说对电影的评价与观看当下的mood着实有很大的关系，这部在剧情上和优秀绝对不沾边的反倒在当下让我看得很开心，尤其是在被瞬息全宇宙污染了眼睛之后。 因为世界观背景是游戏，所以怎么扯淡搞怪都合理，而在瞬息那种日常生活中插平行宇宙就完全是胡编。
没错 这其实是平凡人的故事啊
无力吐槽了，连配音也一点感情都没有，完全就是子供向而不是粉丝向
勉强能看看，比较低幼。居然还会出第三部...
缺点:
5.8/10，《刺猬索尼克》第二部，不如前作。
蛋头也还是我最喜欢的
有笑到我，也感动到了。一生所爱，情怀满满。有遗憾，残缺的美。达叔不在了，星爷和朱茵也不可能再合作。时间不会停下，经典永远都在。这部可以，团队算是用心致敬经典补充残缺美继续留残缺的吧，有空再看看星爷朱茵版
整部电影也是按照游戏电影化去发展的，无论雪山逃生，深海神庙，都极有游戏风采，起码对游戏D很是亲切。
显然又是狗尾续貂之作，经费大开却只是胡乱的拼凑，上一部还算中规中矩，这一部便显得过犹不及，用力过猛的逐一崩坏，原本尴尬无语的情节变得更加不堪入目。时势造英雄，团结破死局。蛋头博士卷土重来，王者翡翠危机四伏，信任成为利用的棋子，仇恨带不来美好的明天，最后不过是依靠变身击碎了邪恶，冗长的拉锯才得以画上烂俗的句号。而索尼克不仅有了不离不弃的家人，又多了并肩作战的伙伴，惬意的生活更加锦上添花了，看这彩蛋还有下一部，我是真的会谢……
“地狱的烈火比不上来自新娘的怒火。”我就觉得这一段还行，别处都烂。
好希望能看到金凯利更多的电影啊~
金凯瑞的表演确实不错 很适合他的角色哈哈哈 够浮夸
虽然是儿童电影，但是有些地方还是不符合逻辑，比如西伯利亚那一段，一个会飞一个跑得快，还要斗舞才能逃走？220510//
