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.
不到四星，视觉冲击力尚可，但只喜欢前半段，后半段那些特效的东西无感，看完即忘得东西，开场的反类型喜欢，致敬吴宇森的东西学了点皮毛。还有鲨鱼并不讨喜。
动漫史上最揪心的爱情之一，剑心与巴的故事终于来了！
看了三分之二看不下去了，美术武术造景方面有值得称道之处，但剧情可以说是稀烂了，像个四不像，什么都带一笔什么也没说明白，没看过原作的人会很懵比，但看了原作的又会觉得原作才是永远的神，这评分我属实没明白，是佐藤健的美色分吗
画面拍得很美，气质与其他几部完全不一样，一场刻骨铭心的爱。
导演都给收编了，黑寡妇要不要考虑演一下绿灯侠😏
不要再出任何岔子，DCEU真是折腾不起了，希望重启有效
不愧为系列最高杰作的title，村妹虽然不太符合我心中雪代巴的形象，但好在演的出色，个人年度最佳爱情片就是这部了。
怎么说呢。。。节奏略慢，虽然还原已经很出色了，但是真人版少了动画的肃杀气氛之后，整体而言并不如动画版更值得一看
4.5.雪代巴怎么这么好，这个角色太好了TAT
某华终于知道自己在干嘛了...99%的人都不会在乎超英有没有深度，甚至有没有逻辑都不重要，重要的是有料！现阶段DCEU里面最讨喜的一部，非常懂得用小心思小惊喜讨好观众。个人比较喜欢黑色幽默般的反转对比，节奏舒适。大家看得开心就好，这就够了。
女主一出现就能猜到结局了是最大的失败 或许是期望太大 佐藤健的剑心也不如前两部有灵气了
花俏的坏品味，但有趣也是真的。Margot Robbie永远是加分项，她对这个角色“娱乐至死”的传达特别好
质量承接系列一贯的高水准，只是相较于前几部而言多了些许唯美浪漫，最纯正也最痛彻心扉的一篇。
前面一路杀进营帐才发现死的都是友军
敌人是真的蠢。。除了主角都会中弹，监狱衣服真的干净，所有敌军全在打牌吃饭，这分数就是这时代的悲哀。
花俏的坏品味，但有趣也是真的。Margot Robbie永远是加分项，她对这个角色“娱乐至死”的传达特别好
是一个比较“完整”的电影。
哈莉·奎茵 以一当百、矛刃散花那段，和《一代宗师》里刀刃见棉、雪花飞舞 异曲同工。都TM美得酷呆了！
为了和平的战斗真的存在吗。
结果最后又去看了一遍ova，真人版想超越实在太难了
