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.
场面依旧宏大，向真实战争中新中国的勇士们致敬，但电影整体叙述剧情不连贯，而且带小朋友来看的话，很残酷
不论是武侠片，还是主旋律，徐克始终有自己的电影语言与表现方式，而这套体系是超越题材本身的。抗美援朝的战士们本就是英雄，而徐克用自己的方式，将这些英雄塑造成了带有侠义之心的传奇人物。3月10日，13:15-15:45，王府井横店影城。
能让你在成年的时候选择去参军，
四星半吧，不合理的地方还是有很多，但是真的把我看哭了。实到1人，恢复七连建制。哭了。边吃饭边看的，分了三次看完，如果连着看可能也会觉得太长吧。
易烊千玺演了这个角色后更喜欢他了
突突突大场面很多，文戏有点看不进去，导致观影过程中我的悲伤情绪大部分不是源于爱国主义情怀而是小家小爱，当然两者没有谁比谁更高贵，就感觉编剧和导演可以做的更好吧。
特效和制作可以 除了四字弟弟全员be很感人 但缺少故事线
除了最后的“实到一人”让我有点感动外，整部戏冗长无聊。
带孩子去看的，深有感触，好好珍惜现在的幸福生活吧，我爱中国。🇨🇳
林超贤参与的电影必须经典！国内主旋律电影导演第一人！
延续了上一集的残酷战争视觉场面，本集愈加变本加厉。火烧活人，坦克轰碎，扫射成渣等等画面数不胜数。电影种种画面再次揭示了战争的本质就是无所不用其极的用所有方式去杀人。为了某个现实目的去死，那叫死得其所，比如保家卫国战争。为了不正当的目的去死，那叫糊涂鬼，比如侵略战争。杀红眼的最终结果就是退化为禽兽本质，西点学霸、战功赫赫、伟大的五星上将麦克阿瑟将军，居然也丧心病狂的试图用原子弹来解决问题。而志愿军的坚硬和不屈，俨然诠释了“谁才是最可爱的人”。江山如此多娇，让人感动的并不是引人折腰，而是每一寸土地，都饱含了我们同胞们的血泪和热爱。
敌军好像卧底。
挺感人的
比第一部短一些，比第一部看的难过了些，比第一部更惨了些，第七穿插连应到157人，实到1人，我哭死了
徐克导演的风格跟主旋律电影搭配不到一起。不真实感太强了。能文能武李延年比它好看，狙击手也比它好看。感觉这部电影缺少灵魂，倒像是美军的宣传片。
战争场面拍的非常宏大，以少敌多，以弱胜强，让我们珍惜现在的太平盛世。
~剧情、表演、特效都很不错，有些场面拍得尤其感人，稍微就是节奏稍微弱了点，中间感觉有点断档，也许压缩下时间会更好。炮弹打人碎肉横飞那个镜头太尼玛震撼了呀。。。
特别好，就是我特别特别想你
ps:跟相亲对象看这片，体验不是很好。
据说比第一部好哭，准备了一包纸巾，只用了一张。并没有很好哭，也没觉得比第一部好。
