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.
故事是真不错，也引人深思，不过说道法治社会，证据才是关键
真相不得所知，结局众说纷纭，大家都是从自己的地位、利益、评判出发各执一词，但是庭审结束都谁都不是赢家，每个人都受到了伤害，到底是法律的公正重要？还是讲求社会效果，更有利于各方重要？就仁者见仁，智者见智了
这话痨片绝对值得二刷。五味杂陈。法庭群戏特别好。«Ici, il n’y a pas qu’une vérité mais deux perceptions d’une même scène.»这种辩护简直让我冷汗直下。Farel这家子真是典型。小夏母子再次共演Yvan爸爸导演的片子，飙起戏来相当过瘾。这种题材很难不偏不倚，本片倒是始终如一地保持了客观。
看完后总算是松了口气，文戏及格线，武戏很惊艳，皮套大作战这么拍不就挺好的嘛，划水形态终于还是帅不过5秒，泽塔怼脸输出和3奥空战真的燃，结尾是戴卡的预告片，照这个节奏，2023年就是新生盖亚了，万代狂喜……主题曲「Believer」还不错~
相对完成度高的只有徐峥那个，别的一言难尽。
影片中男女之间的关系，没有真相，只有不同性别、立场的各自解读。法庭上男女辩护律师都慷慨陈词，法官的判决也能服人。在男女关系的讨论中，男性立场和女性立场永远是无法和解的。
可以看出剧本是不错的，感觉拍摄出来的有点欠缺
好片；
章子怡的最细腻，反而第一个最尬，表演的痕迹太重了，端的太明显；每一项成就的新闻背后，有无数个默默风险的个人和家庭。
章子怡和沈腾就是中规中矩的鸡肋，拿的都是30年前的作文式的故事，不出大错的基础上，加了些自己擅长的东西，子怡玩情，沈腾玩段子

人间世事 要女性不要圣母 于是那女孩被判了终身监禁 男孩就此失去了存在性
2022.2.25（3.5⭐） 乘风感觉有些空，诗的情感很浓，鸭先知会笑，最后沈腾我只记得他的胳膊腿拼在了一起。
我只是一个能变成人类的奥特曼，这台词，废话文学是吧😅
拼盘电影成了红色电影新宠，半小时太短，抱团取暖，试水绝佳，但不管是拍摄手法还是剧本故事，真得也没啥新意。死亡固然伟大，但并不值得宣扬，生存才是永恒的主题。艺术创作也讲究一个闭环，可称之为传承，硬拗也是可以理解的，鸭先知可以说是非常完美的宣讲稿，以小视角窥见大时代，值得学习，嗯！
片子不管是男女主案件还是男主父亲与实习生的展现其实都是在挑战观众的道德观，任意的评判和站队行为都会被结局所否定，这也回到了针对现实的反思：我们在面对真实事件时所做出的道德判断几乎都是不理智的，我们以为我们站在某个公理的角度在看待事情，但这个“公理”到底源自于哪里？或者“公理”本身就很值得怀疑？
章子怡那一篇看得我哭个不停，小男孩在房间里抖孔明灯那一幕好美
秉着呼吸看完。其实，世事确实并非一直表露出黑与白，但真相却一直是，也应该是能表露出的。我们有太多的灰色地带被用于开脱，有太多屈服于权力的沉默。可沉默也是有含义的，法治也好，社会也罢，应该是沉默越来越少，确定越来越多。能看到这样一部探讨“沉默”的电影，减少沉默与灰色地带的电影，内心高兴。
由于某些原因，圆谷没有推出泽塔剧场版，但是这部剧场版，不只是特利迦的，也是泽塔的。把特利迦与泽塔的世界观完美融合，主线是泽塔的，故事内核是特利迦的，好一个一石二鸟。打斗酣畅淋漓，让人直呼精彩，虽然有些段落依然很尴尬，但是已经足以甩T V版10000000条街了
一个关于各有各的理、公说公有理婆说婆有理的故事。各有各的视角本来就是一个毋庸置疑的客观存在的事实，Everthing。
