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.
还是不忍心对桃李恶言相向，但是…换换路子吧…
画面很美。
男主长大被发现被骚扰的部分，电影比小说更夸张，没有小说那种细微但漫长没有尽头的恐惧感。而且小时候更沙被警察发现的地方电影也有改动，本来很期待长大后的更沙再去动物园这部分电影怎么表现的，结果也没有...
先不说故事有没有深度。有些画面是有意境的，男女主感情是存粹的，故事也是我喜欢的。
三、小说运用第一人称以及心理描写强化情绪，电影在无法还原情况下，连一句补充旁白也吝啬始终……
还原了小说的百分之七十左右，广濑铃的演绎很不错，松坂桃李不太行。显然李相日导演对于更纱和文之间的关系的理解和我阅读后的体会不一样。文的世界在小说中仅仅占据了最后零星的篇幅，但是却足以串起整个故事的悲伤，电影版的描述太碎、太冗长，不如文字锋利、绝望。
两颗星给有几组镜头确实拍的很有感觉，这是什么鬼故事，一群神经病的人设，男女主是没长嘴巴吗？为了流星看的，居然把大尺度贡献给这么个角色难怪掉粉😭。女主是很舒服的那种漂亮，可惜了演员。真tm无语😓。
就，嗯。镜头很文艺，故事，大概是，精神恋爱的圆满达成？元素过多，叙事过慢，无意义镜头渲染很多，但是故事线索太少了。
第一部的屠龙少女开始有点像恶龙了
摄影、色调运用很牛掰，但剪辑得支离破碎啊……好几个我很钟意的情节也没入李相日的法眼：蚊香、搬家的过程、对成为正社员的期待和突然落空……等等；更纱心理上对亮的依赖也拍成近乎没有。但几幕阳台上的对望气氛很好。不过还是必须要说すず拍了这片是太好了，桃李为这片牺牲也不少瘦削成这样子
魔女还挺魔女的，但小魔女不行啊，难道天真烂漫是培养基自带的？
憋说中文了，尬死了，我都听不懂。这一季部分地方特效能看出来有一点拉。一个个都不演了，直接都开始上天入地了，强到没边，被女主解决的时候显得就有一点敷衍。。
身为一直以来对丝丝无感的纯路人来说，已经觉得很可以了，小“丝丝”的选角也迷之契合，说回电影本身最突出的地方还是摄影，空镜头拍得挺美，构图上也有讲究，但片子的节奏感也因此变得拖拖沓沓的，其实故事的底子蛮好，最后的揭底也有被惊到，可导演却把所有精力都用来表述存在于男女主之间那些无法被他人理解的痛楚之上，像原生家庭这些本该被细腻补充的地方反而都被匆匆带过，还要把硕果仅存的这点实质内容填充进两个半小时内，矫情拧巴且又磨磨唧唧就是最为直观的感受。
为了横滨流星看看，黑眼圈太重了吧，注意保养肾啊
看完了感觉不太舒服…..感觉整个电影没几个脑子正常的角色，都是自己作的
谁能想到那个演超级战队的演员，可塑性可以这么强。
结果演变成疼痛文学
拖这么长，有必要吗…明明100分钟可以解决的故事硬生生拉到两个半小时，叙事结构对不起卡司这么尽力的表演…难得看到主要演员全员状态在线的戏
大多数人们会根据自己看到的一方面去给事情定性，也许这样的善意也存在伤害到别人的的可能性。感觉电影讲得不是特别好。
前面情绪拿捏得挺好的，外面俩人相认后不太对头。擦嘴真就跟多余，是要提供两个人能在一起的可能性吗，大可不必。村长的脸好像鬼脸就很吓人，丝丝小演员真的很合适，流星不要再接掉粉角色，吃不消。
