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.
对比这两天的新闻来看，更显出这部电影的好。
3.5 男主跟儿子作别时吃毛豆喝啤酒的场景，让我一度以为导演是个中国人
女主想要的所谓“正义”居然是看“上帝的旨意”
全方位地证明了叙事艺术的魅力，这样的作品在如今“剧集盛电影衰”的时代里可太珍贵了。
吃饭时玩游戏会不会带来“噩梦”
毕竟雷导，服化道赞，中世纪米兔，不如处女作
当过多的冗余镜头对叙事造成了累赘，
尽管我感觉如此难过
丑男人都死了，看着美女与后代怡然自得，真是开心。
借着科幻的外壳，讲的还是伦理探讨。题材不算新颖，但胜在拍的真挚感人，很容易就会有带入感，尤其阿里的演技太赞了，超级感人。天鹅为谁而歌，swan song for every single one
"I am telling the truth."
【B+】口口声声称爱我的人将我强暴于无人之室并命我缄口不言，倘我发声只引杀身之祸与玷污之名，他称对吾爱欲噬其自身，却以爱之名蚀吾身；供养我保护我的主人即吾夫日日将我囚于室中，夜夜与我行床第之事责我未尽妻行，他娶的是我父亲的土地，嫁妆是我的身体，聘金是他给予我父亲的清名。吾夫疑我通奸，请愿决斗以明其志，吾娘责我发声，她也曾被侵选择缄默，吾友叛我真心，上报法庭我曾唤他英俊。他们说强奸不会导致怀孕，是有科学根据，他们问我是不是自愿通奸，有没有感受到欢愉，国王同意决斗，因为上帝会决定谁在撒谎，若吾夫负，我将被剥尽衣物套上铁环活活烧死。我为了真相坐在法庭上，望着无尽的男性，才明白我的命运不由我的真相决定，不由上帝旨意决定，却被决斗中先倒下的那个男人决定。我这一生都在被法律制度专为女性设立的道德而强暴。
生离死别也是一场自己对自己的战斗。Ali的演技令人折服，最后两个Cameron在阁楼里相遇的那一刻，2号的眼神太有戏了。
这是两次强奸。男人总是自我感觉良好，一位以婚姻之名行配种之实，另一位以爱情之名行强奸之实，作为关键角色的女性视角放到最后，绝佳的讽刺了男性的丑恶嘴脸，虚伪正是他们的本质。在压迫之下，当有女性站出来的时候，她面对的不是加害者，而是整个男权社会。一个人站出来是远远不够的，一群人也不够。姜还是老的辣，决斗精彩至极，得益于对其中女性命运的强烈关怀。电影中人为男性决斗高呼，电影外人为精彩战斗喝彩，我们何时才能走出中世纪?朱迪科默的表现十分惊艳，亚当德赖弗、马特达蒙、本阿弗莱克只能给她作配。
有种在看《黑镜》的感觉。既然如此相爱，为何不坦诚相待？一厢情愿地做了这些决定，有没有考虑到对方将来要是察觉异样得知真相，是否能够接受这些以爱之名的所作所为？—— Panda的2021年度外语电影：5月→《夏日国度》《兹山鱼谱》《教室里的一头牦牛》…，6月→《温蒂妮》《午夜天鹅》《担保》《比得兔2：逃跑计划》《耳光》《漫漫寻子路》《里夫金的电影节》…，7月→《浴火鸟》《花束般的恋爱》《偶然与想象》《埃舍尔街的红色邮筒》《三真集团英语托业班》《哦！文姬》《浪客剑心 最终章 追忆篇》…，8月→《渔业阴谋》《X特遣队：全员集结》《孩子们很有趣》《人生最棒的礼物》《健听女孩》《游戏男孩 电影版》《新秩序》《马卡卢索往事》《如纸人生》《喜剧 爱妻物语》《卡吉尔女孩》《温德米尔儿童》《对我来说非常珍贵的你》《失控玩家》…；…
原来真的就这样接替了人生啊
生命走到尽头，该怎么去和生活和亲人告别。女主弹钢琴唱歌那段很戳人。
一个女性的生命和清白只能由两个男性的决斗来决定，而他们决斗却只是为了各自的声誉。
克隆人的道德困境已经被探讨太多次了，可《天鹅挽歌》用冷静的风格再次让观众深刻体会，一个与自己一模一样、却又完全无关的人拿走自己生活，是怎样一种细思恐极的局面。
结构上三方面对称，内容上并没有做到，主要是第二男主的爱情描述实在过于自说自话了。即便如此，依然不能说导演插旗在女权这边了，罗生门结构强调的就是对主观叙事的反思，甚至包括对女性话语权的反思。插旗的是观众，不是导演，就看观众能不能反思自己的主观叙事了。
