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.
2022/01/13 首映會打卡....想發個照片紀念一下一直被判定違規真的無語。
两星半吧，最好看的就是片尾林更新的彩蛋，为这个加半星。
但是小学女生真的有可能用力气将成年男性制服然后勒死吗(◔‸◔）
谁能告诉我心不电影的核心到底是啥？为什么故事可以拍的这么散、笑点可以这么尴尬、这么俗、从头到尾跳着看、最后有虽然林更新但是。。。不要再玩这种梗了
也就是说只要国产电影🈶热气球这个元素一定不好看的意思？ btw这俩演员我太喜欢了所以能看到最后
本来的设定应该是蛮好玩的。但是被一通乱堆的段子搞得老不像样。
不是，一边强调女高中生不是性对象一边又想被女高中生杀……但慕自我暗杀癖就是妥妥的性癖啊……可以不要这么无聊吗
md看这部电影也是天大的修行。东亚社会为什么这么爱人为选择压抑？？离婚各自放过不行吗？？？
艾灸越来越像是传销。跟什么活力霜、正骨康之类差不多是一路货色，宣传能医百病。
而且包贝尔是我大圣爷 我拒绝🚫
陈湘琪的表演就值得三颗星。其实她和林嘉欣、贾静雯在去年金马交出的三个角色具有非常高的重叠度，但单拎出《修行》里的表演还是有非常明确的自我表达呈现。
没看过漫画，也不知道原著是什么情况，不过就电影而言，低级段子有点多，多少有点尴尬。导演在电影里杂糅了太多的元素，导致电影臃肿，分心的地方太多。张雪峰的加盟对电影的助力有限，但是次次出场都充满了欢声笑语，这次友情出演片方值了。
不知道人类为什么用婚姻这种东西来禁锢和折磨自己。
城导，你还是多拍点情色片吧，这种类型的片子不适合你。
对中年人生的呐喊，但无论是危机还是出轨，都没有任何劲道。影帝影后各自在努力发挥却没有任何火花。
天台上她绝望地呐喊着「谁来帮我开门」，这便是她人生现状的缩影，是百感交集冲昏了头的时刻。所以才会让救人与杀人一线之隔，同疗养院里的疯子还有什么分隔？同自由的飞鸟倒有着玻璃窗紧紧闭锁。
你我，是否在修行？
如果无爱了，若是不想分开，一定不要再紧追不舍，当是两个合租的租客，安静平淡的过吧。不知道严太为什么不分开，是因为经济不独立吗？也不像，她可以大把吃药，报什么灵修班，经济上的自由应该还是有的。何必捆在一起互相折磨，每一个让对方无法忍受的动作，都是有意为之，榨汁，一定要他拿起饭碗时才开动，故意打翻的啤酒，故意放跑的狗狗，等等等等，越是怨恨，越是折磨，越是折磨，越让人生厌，堕入无尽深渊。
太空洞了，幸好去年金馬衝堂最後選擇去看《美國女孩》，陳以文、丁寧真的看得好膩。
