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.
剧情还可以，但是男主变成猴子的模样真是难看啊。紫霞也不错，不让人讨厌，朱茵之后感觉最好的一个。并且没想到的是还有达叔客串，前边看到他的时候，有点恍惚。
蛋头也还是我最喜欢的
海下神庙，冲刺机关，融合，超级蛋头博士。

当在响起卢冠廷之歌声，青春已逝，而你还是我一生所爱！
远超预期，抓到了大话西游的精神内核，当但部分剧情还是有些粗糙了。
虽然很短，意外的不错，网大出品比某些院线电影还良心。首先3分给编剧，确实用心了，整体故事能够自圆其说；紫霞演员难得也出彩，更有一段达叔的告别特写，可惜至尊宝变身大圣的扮相比较出戏。特效作为网大级别尚可，很多场景和台词还原和致敬旧版大话和周星驰其他电影。结局意犹未尽，当年紫霞、至尊宝生离死别的意难平总算平复了一些，冲这点就值得观看！
女主选的不错，故事勉强能看，做为达叔谢幕作给了不少镜头，好感度加两星
小而精准的频繁击中大话西游影迷的心，在情怀之外剧情上也基本不掉链子不尬，还挺难得的
在宫殿那里就更离谱了，明明可以用速度比蛋头博士更快拿到翡翠宝石，但还是选择看着纳克尔斯和他聊天。
Sonic他还是个孩子啊，就要学着正义、拯救世界、顾及他人。
和之前一样 全片不如最后的像素动画 博士新造型没之前好看但更还原游戏 剧情依然莫名其妙 那么容易互相理解为什么不带上博士一起玩 大概横版过关游戏确实本来就没什么剧情所以只能这样硬编 这强行family完全get不到 一直这么烂居然还能有续集 可能索尼克在欧美确实热度很高
还是及格，经费比上部充裕，场景，动作设计更贴近游戏，但是人类部分异常鸡肋，可有可无的，金凯瑞真的强，考虑到这是其职业生涯息影之作的话，还挺值得一看，就这。
紫霞是美女，加一星。
索尼克都号称银河系最快的生物了
是在抖音上看到达叔后来看的。“欲知前世因，今生受者是。欲知来世果，今生作者是。”做为网大电影，还可以吧。出现了一些经典的镜头和歌曲。片尾曲《祈缘》很好听。
最后还留了个彩蛋要拍3
比第一作特效用的更多，新出场角色也非常符合游戏形象，而第二部更多的是更像一部CG电影，因为人类角色，除了蛋头博士，已经变得比较次要，起码，这点上面我还是比较接受的！
这电影质量不高，但是挺好看的，金凯瑞的蛋蛋博士也太有魅力了。
我这场影院里小男孩超多，影片结尾彩蛋引来最大欢呼。整部看下来很小儿科，不过影片也的确是拍给小孩子的。
