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.
野心太大结果一部电影完全没收住剧情给人感觉结局非常仓促，老头的恩怨皇室的预谋怪兽岛的细节都可以展开详细讲讲，有点可惜
想看个肤色正常的电影怎么那么难啊，女孩的圣母角色是以前的白人小女孩了，最后站在王城里又是她出来控诉战场谎言，白瞎在海兽，那段粉色沙滩感觉很不错，有点eva
画质一流，剧情略有点简单，但是看着很舒服，很适合和孩子一起看。
萌萌的海兽，老主角和老船长的传承与理念对抗，小女孩发现了是皇宫制造矛盾挑起人类与海兽的斗争，振臂一呼应者云集。
3.5 森山未来演的真好，驾驭了25年的时间跨度，喜欢他的气质，剧情本身和编排并不出彩。
色彩饱和度超级舒服，巨物恐惧也恰到好处，除了主海兽长的像男性生殖器以外没有什么缺点。剧情嘛，反正是给小朋友看的。（网飞出品了一部应该在影院看的电影。
平平稳稳把故事讲完了，很适合周末下午看。最后小女孩的演讲很美国了。
画面三分剧情扣一分，天真善良大喊”I have every rights”的少女咱们就是说梦回“环保少女”了，不是说保护动物的主题不行，前期铺垫不少以为有什么大冲突高能剧情呢结果一顿嘴炮输出，突然就民众幡然醒悟敌方落荒而逃了？？？你们西方国家真这么无脑怎么现在又开始讨伐环保少女了捏🤪
看到一半看不下去了，可能我有颗伪圣母心。海报里小红挺酷的。
在别人家用大~电视看的，画质真好啊~~ 除了这个，一切都中规中矩。
100个支持开发续集哦！可以讲讲我们小红谈恋爱和设计更多海兽！美术设计真的很棒，深海恐惧症有，萌宠有！故事girls help girls！红姐每次小眼神都忍不住尖叫 That's My Girl！Urban到后面我都开始幻听他说Ohi =。= 以及最重要的是别歌颂不必要的牺牲。
个人感觉隐喻明显到溢出屏幕？强大又善良的红色海兽，被宣扬成和人类水火不容的最大反派，鼓动国民牺牲生命也要除掉这头怪兽……主角小女孩揭露了君主统治的谎言并告诉大家真相：只要我们放下武器就可以结束这世代仇恨，大家完全可以和这只“红色巨兽”和平相处！哎妈这不能更明显了吧？！
影片应该在IMAX屏幕上观看，非常爽，影片的动作场面还是非常刺激的！毕竟海怪的存在让IMAX革新加了不少分，另外 这部电影看到一大半让我想起来《阿凡达 水之道》特别的绝美海底！影院观影应该是最佳的，满分100分，可以给到85分，但是，5星，我给4星，非常适合有童心的人看！影片中的英语说的极其标准，锻炼听力也是不错的
想起千禧年间的港产青春片。一地鸡毛无法全力奔跑的中年，最终还是变成自己曾经讨厌的普通的样子。在回忆中倒带着青春，像漫长炎热的夏天，在吱吱呀呀的老风扇下度过一个个无所事事的白昼。画面支离破碎又色彩浓烈，旁白是脑海中那些“无法成佛的文字”。
全片看的中配，比预期的要好啊～ 大人和孩子在其中都能找到快乐的一部电影。我比较喜欢小蓝～ 对统治阶级的讽刺注定会让一些人不顺眼，但是这更是加分项～ 小女孩黑皮也没什么不好，反正我是看怪兽的。来豆瓣看演职员表，居然发现有oi侠。。。
百无聊赖，打开这部航海冒险题材的动画来看。搏击画面的连贯感，海洋带来的压抑与浩瀚，感官享受好棒。猎人游侠这一类的冒险故事一直是我的一个嗨点，谁人不向往自由呢。故事也穿插了海兽的温情，是一个中规中矩值得一看的动画。
色彩饱和度超级舒服，巨物恐惧也恰到好处，除了主海兽长的像男性生殖器以外没有什么缺点。剧情嘛，反正是给小朋友看的。（网飞出品了一部应该在影院看的电影。
人物造型虽然丑，但是红黄蓝怪兽组合倒是分外养眼~
海怪可以多发掘一些，剧情比较老套，高潮破坏港湾特效很好。
有大船和大海兽啊，看得很开心。主角的 change不够是真的，而且英格兰背景的故事，为啥国王长得像路易十四。。但是有大海船啊。。
