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.
因为没有玩过游戏，所以没什么共鸣。精神小伙完全不喜欢，剧情又很跳脱，很多东西在游戏里可以理解，但展现在电影里就有点... ...不少地方的特效也有些敷衍。
借用一句台词 —water. —a lot of watwr.
最后还来了段《加勒比海盗》。
这部电影的原题材应该是圣经中何西阿书和妓女的故事。爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈；爱是不嫉妒；爱是不自夸，不不做害羞的事，不求自己的益处，不轻易发怒。这部电影较好的诠释了，爱应该是怎么样的。
不愧是小蜘蛛，來回來去上竄下跳的也就是他了，劇情老老覺得不太合理又說不出哪不合理⋯⋯
编剧牛，导演更牛！只要编剧感想，敢把刺激的、异域的、他样的、天马行空的冒险碰撞，感觉这个导演都能实现在现存物理条件下的事情发生的合理性。编剧是好莱坞视听大片，人物间情感弱了一些，故事性及戏剧冲突还行吧。
我必向以色列如甘露；
两个十字架至少有两个相交点吧？
要跟火一起看的，以前只有枪版，现在终于有了高清片源。四平八稳，中规中矩，一边喝酒一边看，还不错。
唯祂。
It’s the pain that brought us to this moment.
看得想去看日出了。女主肉身太美了。上帝爱人也不过如此了，哈哈~
一见钟情不离不弃不计过往始终坚守唯一人 这不就是真爱吗
很努力的在做一部流水线爆米花大片，然而效果很一般很一般。很多细节都很粗糙，一些镜头拍出了真人秀的质感，男1.2.3号的演技尚可，但感觉完全和影片脱钩，仿佛是突然闪回的旁白。一个冒险类电影让我丝毫不感兴趣接下来会发生什么。。
作为玩儿什么都三分钟热度喜欢不断尝新的老玩家，神秘海域从1到4包括外传我竟然全都通关了。即使是粉丝，即使这个电影大量镜头都在重现游戏场景，还是一个烂电影。
运输机上的惊险降落，直升机与“百年古船”，
emm 游戏剧情掐掉中间主要部分留开头和结尾我也属实没想到
纯粹的爆米花电影，马克加荷兰弟的老带新组合挺神奇的，情节也一塌糊涂，和速激上太空有的一拼……也不知道荷兰弟拿到什么资源了，无颜无身材，演技就那样居然最近还这么多片子……
特效飞机大战蛮精彩，但剧情推进节奏乖乖的，过程很多不合理的地方，人物之间的拉锯也不够张力，显得寡淡无聊……可以一看，但不能看得太认真。
她从无所谓/对自我没有认知/不想认知/无法认知，到自我的意识回归，经由迈克的执着/爱/纯净，她看到了自己，艰难的完成了这个自我成长的过程。
