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.
选择了自己觉得最好的那种ending，而不是选择我们希望看到的ending。成年人的隐忍，和刚步入成年的模糊。约瑟夫作为成年人，并没有嘲笑或者将他当作自己的情敌。每个人都那么美好。
和《祝你好运里奥格兰德》前后看的，都很喜欢。似乎更喜欢这部，跟男主一起掉眼泪。很温暖。
传记电影是最容易拍成流水账的类型片，这部《梅艳芳》就是最典型的超级流水账。
虽然有各种的瑕疵，但歌声一起就值得4星了。
一部平淡温情的电影，没有起伏的剧情，就是一个爱而不得的故事。Andrew和Domino就是两条相交线，谁的选择都没有错，故事到此为止，但是“my memories aren't going anywhere”。
点映。傍晚知道草东鼓手离开，晚上看到梅姐穿着婚纱转身说拜拜，觉得人和人的联结好脆弱，爱过的人一个个消失。单说片子，滤镜太假，演员太突兀，节奏太拖沓，台词太主旋律，靠情怀卖一些座……播放到最后一秒影院黑屏，全场还是静静坐着，站在屏幕前的工作人员带头拍了两下手，大家才如梦初醒鼓起掌来。留下只有思念。
即便我边看边哭 但你们扪心自问这一部对得起梅姐吗
好碎片化，喜欢在厨房换吃冰棒对望聊天的片段，男主长得好好看，但忍不住会想，像他这样的性格活得好累…
嫁给谁？舞台。看到最后这里的时候我真的很感动，用一生去唱歌的梅艳芳，她真的太好了。配乐也超级好听，《女人花》《风的季节》《夕阳之歌》还有被那个小女孩提到的《IQ博士》，都那么鲜活！
（题外话：希望观众今后也能如此容易选到粤语场；更加容易选到2D场）
梅艳芳生涯回顾视频高清remake删减版，但还是流下了时代的眼泪。拍不好的，就这样了。想起19年底去香港“看了一眼”“听了一回”，心里觉得前半生和前半生的梦想都落幕了。明日是一片虚无废土。
导演和编剧真的拉胯，电影技法什么的可以说是没有的，全靠碎片化拼凑，远达不到心目中好电影的标准，但是……但是……但是……还是哭到头疼，回忆杀真的太过分了，放真实影像就真的是过分了啊！夕阳之歌还一直在我歌单里！听着长大，看着长大的那些人那些影像重新出现在银幕上，怎么可能不哭呢？！同场也哭倒一片人。如果你跟我一样，听他们的歌长大的话，这片还是要看的。但哭不是因为电影，是因为梅姐、哥哥和那个时代的远去。当年到现在最大的感慨都是：那个时代过去以后，再无巨星。
故事剪裁、情节节奏和剪辑方式都有不小问题，前半程类似重要人物刷脸的短视频合集，人物塑造基本都是浮着的；最后半小时虽然好哭，但把梅姐最后一年留下的影像资料配上《女人花》《夕阳之歌》让我来剪也能有差不多效果。王丹妮的表演固然努力，但只有“斗士”一面的梅艳芳是足够传神的，其他时候执着于外表的“像”反而只会衬出加起来只有两三分钟的纪实影像里梅姐本人多有charisma。
顺意的生活，偶然的相遇灵魂，蠢蠢的男主，狗屎的结局。
确实丝滑，温情向，一个关于成长的故事，男主有点像DTT
有的人刚遇到就爱上了 很温柔很舒服甚至不需要激情也足够
穿着婚纱往上升的时候，灰色的灯光一点点掉在青色的皮肤上，整个人一点点在屏幕前消失不见。就好像要把她送到哪里去。
无论是梅艳芳还是张国荣粉丝都不愿意买账的电影
慢歌唱的不是难过，是唏嘘。快歌唱的不是兴奋，是叛逆。她比烟花绚烂，也比烟花寂寞。我有花一朵，种在我心中。爱过知情重，醉过知酒浓。花开花谢终是空，缘分不停留。像春风来又走，女人如花花似梦。
感觉是一部明星的人生流水账。看的是导演剪辑版，不知道其他版本有什么差异，但是我看的这版实在拍的一般。好像是纪录片，却还不如纪录片。没拍出一代传奇歌手的拼搏和成长，仿佛一切都是天赋的才能和天赐的机遇。绯闻事件却花了大篇幅在讲，但又没拍出真实的“渣男”形象和故事。还有就是王丹妮的选角，虽然有些气质和演技能有几分神似梅艳芳，但人也真长得不像啊，那些复刻的场景就真的很出戏。明明有更像梅艳芳，也更有演技经验的选择。导演也不知道怎么选的，为什么不干脆邀请关锦鹏来导演，梁乐民感觉完全不擅长这类题材，既然“梅艳芳”对香港人如此重要，为什么选角和制作给人感觉这么草率，看不懂这背后的用意。
