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.
表现平平无奇，没有沦为工具片，也没有特别出彩的部分（法术打架戏份看着好无语，只会biubiubiu能量炮）。融入了惊悚片要素倒是出其不意，一度以为在看生化危机hhh
果然是导演的风格，旺达的形象确实杀人如麻。奇异博士远程控制丧尸奇的时候，百鬼噬身的特效如果是用来拍仙侠片就好了。
我最爱的旺达给塑造成这样，是真的想骂娘。然后花了270来看恐怖片，手里的可乐直接没喝，场景的切换太像b级片。可以接受漫威走不一样的路，但是能不能遵守基本法，旺达这动机根本经不起推敲。本片也算是复联4以后，也就疫情后最好看的漫威电影，但是在激动人心的部分，我承认蜘蛛侠3更好，尽管我没给好评它。打5⭐纯粹偏心旺达，奥妹从头到尾都在哭，旺达幻视里真刀人，但是奇异2里太太太离谱。
漫威版贞子寻子记+行尸走肉 Rachel依旧好美
洋洋说你是不是看不懂😳我的表情这么明显吗？我真的一脸懵逼
和远一起看的，多元宇宙最近有点多，但是还是很多惊喜的地方。
比预想要好，难得的是还能看到一些导演的自我表达，惊悚元素（肢体扭曲、jump scare、血浆的运用、追逐戏）太出色了，甚至都感觉这至少是个PG13的电影；另一个宇宙的复联出来之后开始像美队3的内战了，只不过可惜各角色实在是太工具人本色，结局估计很难让漫画迷信服；其实也是旺达幻视续集，旺达的苦、执着和放手，也算是漫威宇宙里难得的人物刻画。
总体还不错。但没有everything everywhere all at once精彩。
绯红女巫之妈的多重宇宙
Sam Raimi能不能出这样一版Director's Cut，开头就这样：奇异博士和旺达，王，美国妹妹一起开车前往一个林中小木屋度假...那么问题来了，车谁开？
山姆雷米我滴神！太惊艳了，史传奇绝对扛得动漫威多元宇宙的大旗，本来担心这么短时间而且补拍这么多次会拍砸，但是完全没有，惊喜客串众多但是完全没有抢博士风头，也没有影响紧凑的节奏，反而用花样百出的死法给博士和旺达打了一波硬广，跟whatif的联动也好惊喜，希望america小姐姐早日有自己的个人电影或者剧集
绯红女巫成反派，开头就是特效，恐怖片既视感，讲实话，奇异博士有点拉垮。绯红女巫变态级加强，英国队长（美队媳妇），X教授，神奇四侠友情客串。
一如既往的没有引进，似乎钢铁侠一死，那个本该链接我们宇宙的mcu就消失了，取而代之的是一个妄图侵略我们宇宙的一个不合理混乱又混沌的多元宇宙，这大概是重启宇宙以来mcu最为黑暗邪恶的故事，所以说“知识是人类进步的阶梯，书中有一切”
终于看到法师组打架，特效很好，心满意足，有几个镜头旺达绝美，黑化的斯特兰奇博士巨帅。有几个片段有点点吓人，就是差点从座椅上被吓得跳起来那种程度吧😂有几个镜头转换是有点奇怪了，但总体还算顺畅，剧情也不错，配乐一般。第二对我能get到的漫威bg cp终于诞生了！多元宇宙居然没跟洛基剧联动，anyway，铺垫了这么久，漫威终于算是真正进入新一阶段了，你好啊MCU二郎神。
就好大荧幕恐怖片这口，没想到在一部超级英雄电影中实现了。卷福和奥妹（美！）演技发挥稳定，沉重基调中不时来个碎嘴玩笑，挺好！
观感很爽，当恐怖片看的话挺无聊，但是和超英元素结合在一起效果很棒！编剧配不上视效和制作
竖琴真牛，丧尸奇异真帅。
旺达和英国队长有点太好看了.....喜欢一些帅姐姐。宇宙穿梭那块儿的过渡看起来很烧钱的样子。
博士女巫都成丧尸片了，看得我一惊一乍的，视觉还是可以，线太多了，好坏女巫都被压到花果山下封印了，琴谱大战故事和音乐都少了灵气 // 纽约人不守红绿灯又被黑 // 女巫的自我对话 @NY42stAMC 1st date
不引进谁吃亏，已经一目了然了，赶紧偷着乐吧
