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.
最后七连报数与对千里的对白让我几乎忍不住要崩。
完整的商业工业片，对我来说没什么吸引力，但是爸妈爱看我们跟着看就是了
第一部7.8开头7.4结尾，第二部7.2开头7.2结尾，学校老师下的盗版看的不亦乐乎，虽然没有第一部的高潮，结尾吴京还是有些个人英雄主义。但是泪点爆炸，第九连全军覆没真的泪炸了！第一部泪炸的片！虽然没有留出眼眶但持续了好久。就是这开头还是一样草率，壁纸也是，尤其是人走在冰湖上那段好垃圾哦，虽说八百yyds但是他没有一个好的结局。
想，如果不是他们，可能就是我们这一代人去面对这些
相比起用难看来形容，影像和题材的割裂是更合适的表述。无论是动作桥段的设计逻辑还是情感表达，本应严肃写实的历史战争题材被精心包装成香港警匪电影了。这也是我看电影以来，为数不多画面过亮的电影，夜晚如白天，白天如正午。打光很有世纪初港片的光线调度的感觉，还有各种光晕，整的像科幻片。镜头调度上《水门桥》和《智取威虎山》很接近，有一些用多了就很违和的长镜头和特效镜头，但后者但战斗规模较小，题材有演绎成分，即使处理稍显夸张，违和感尚没有这样强。但在大场景调度上如此的镜头调度就真的很拧巴。剧情上槽点也不少，但如果把它当作架空背景的港片去看，多多少少也就能接受些了。
谁都知道可能还是不可能，但他们依旧义无反顾的一次次冲。从开头的肉体穿插开始泪流不止，看得悲壮的绝望，基本后期口吐芬芳。
我很爱国，我也铭记历史。但是这种不太有剧情的主旋律是真不想老了。
突突突，突突突。战场上哪有那么多时间感慨和抒情。。。
看完心情很沉重。
美军不管输赢，都是丢人丢到家了，完全不对等的战争，无耻至极。
朋友来了有好酒，若是那豺狼来了 迎接它的有猎枪！
本来以为伍千里临死前会说些什么，结果啥都没说，一般国产片肯定要说点什么慷慨激昂的遗言对吧？但是这啥都没说，更加让人潸然泪下！你倒是说点啥啊！别这么静静地看着你弟弟呀！你弟弟等着你说话呀！呜哇啊啊啊啊啊！
没经历过战争的我们是幸运的，同时也是脆弱的。
感觉这一部比上一部好，都三月底了，而是是周一很晚的晚上，电影院居然还有这么多人看。 我其实不喜欢看战争片，我喜欢看到人有尊严体面地活着，不喜欢看到人被枪炮炸得体无完肤。我痛恨一切战争。 但是中国人真的好了不起啊，那样的年代，那样的气温，感觉真的全凭一口气一股信念吊着了。
特别好，就是我特别特别想你
自己人越打越少，美国军队一直都在增援，且武器装备精良。听到七连报到“应到一百五十七人，实到一人”哽咽，瞬间破防。
第七穿插连应到一百五十七人，实到一人！
场面做的好，作为电影是合格的，虽然与战史上的三炸水门桥有区别，而并没有展现冰雕连……
战史是全部牺牲，电影为观众保留了一个希望。新中国，万岁！
可惜了好演员，只是这影片的追求实在是...
