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.
开头乡间部分诗意盎然，中间部分平白。
编剧和导演的能力执行起来太吃力了。《幻灭》这是我最爱的一个“人间喜剧了”😅
Illusions Perdues 2021 FRENCH 1080p
今年最正统的西部片。从故事到画面，从对白到配乐，无比复古，无比传统，在这个科恩兄弟和昆汀用各种现代手法让西部片不那么西部的时代，在被政治正确绑架的好莱坞剧本陷入低能死循环的时代，《老亨利》让人重新回到约翰韦恩和伊斯特伍德纵横好莱坞时那个传奇的西部岁月。全片不仅没有黑人，甚至没有女主，剧本如主角般隐忍而克制，但该出手时绝不拖泥带水。荒凉、冷寂、写实却不沉闷、传奇而不夸张，让人重新踏上《原野奇侠》与《不可饶恕》中那块充满生死无常、人性狡诈、传说往事、宿命传承的剽悍西部大陆。
看完电影打开豆瓣，忽地只觉得讽刺啊，豆瓣一部部热门或冷门新片，沸沸扬扬的评论们，不知道有多少是花钱买的，多少是关系户，多少是真性情，多少是凹人设，又有多少是崇拜权重、跟风的
巴黎的新闻业√美则美矣，太过于冗长，沉浸感不够！
溢出的配乐和剪辑倒和故事的基调很搭，刻意的轻佻也不失为成功的改编。
金句频出，挖苦四起，时评弹幕比主线情节精彩系列。
好帅嗷嗷嗷，进度条撑住啊啊啊啊啊，前方高能细细品味 ，你看你看
巴尔扎克批判现实主义写尽社会的残酷真相
那个年代流量还在纸媒 如今已经在你眼前了 从开头就不喜欢吕西安作风和人 确实没好结果 内森第一次和吕西安说好话时我竟然开始圈粉了纸醉金迷 权利物欲本就是虚幻（我随便逛留下橄榄枝 拿着橄榄的人再也找不到给他橄榄的人 尽管他从一开始都没想要那个橄榄 人确实是一不小心就陷进去啊另一槽点这尼玛小兄弟成名的路太顺利了吧哈原来内森是多兰啊卧槽 我说我他妈还挺喜欢他的真是的 我是不是喜欢奶奶的弟弟型啊我的妈 啥 这还是巴尔扎克的小说我寻思我现在莫名其妙就戏剧和欧洲古典了非常奇妙的历程？之前看安娜卡列尼娜的电影改编也是这个感觉好像没多牛逼但就是能用精彩形容 安利下个月我就搞巴尔扎克比预想的要好很多最近看的比较过瘾的一个只不过和法比安一个路数啊 本来以为这是英国的服化道法国的拍法更喜欢这种英国会更老派和闷
虽然很华丽，但拍得毫无新意，一部小说改编的电影还是需要旁白和对白推进故事的话，那我为什么不去看原作呢？
非常喜欢巴尔扎克的原著，发现改编的电影自然还是要看的。拍得不算怠慢，但并没找到好一点的策略，也没什么新表达要说，就快节奏地复制小说情节，像是一个「2.5小时带你看巴尔扎克《幻灭》」的长视频。小地方的青年去大城市闯荡，媒体行业的光鲜与肮脏，梦碎的主题，这些一点也不过时，可以一看。
没头没尾。自始至终也没说明白小比利到底干了什么让人闻风丧胆。。。
人间一场梦。最后结局那句觉醒之后找到内在力量真是可以从古用到今。（以及对于新闻专业的娃来说，小报历史也可以参考参考
虚荣的幻灭，新生的开始，质朴的时代，诚挚的爱情、友情，前现代时代
一部穷小子闯荡巴黎上层社会浮生录，改编自巴尔扎克同名小说，今年凯撒最佳影片。断断续续看了三次才看完，不过越到后面越精彩。吉亚诺利在法国影坛的地位确实尴尬，作者化痕迹较弱，但改编水准颇高。看到媒体舆论与社会现实的关系时，联想到时下的社会环境，相信会让很多人会心一笑。
世间皆主义，纷纷扰扰人惶惶。
他将停止幻想，他将开始生活，他将找到内心的力量
虽然是巴尔扎克时代的故事，但仍与如今的现实相符合。
