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.
其实电影的主题不是love，而是青少年迷茫时期的那种不可避免的孤独，是一个人的孤独，也是两个人的孤独，在那些发生在特定地点的对话和陪伴里，深夜的天桥，夕阳的海滨，酒店的泳池...一个寂寞浪漫的吻，他说“要是我能喜欢你就好了”...... 导演把这两个主角孤独的原因讲的很清楚，场景也选的很好👍
在夏季即将结束的节点，在同一个影厅连刷了两遍《盛夏未来》，足以见得我对该片的喜爱到了啥样程度。回到家夜已深，心情久久不能平静。惊讶于陈正道此波操作竟然如此绵里藏针、不动声色地绘制了一幅青春困境➕中年困境图景，值得深挖的点远远不止恋爱这点事这么简单。
今年最好的青春片，拍出《盛夏光年》的陈正道拍青春片你爹还是你爹，甚至还有余地做一点手到擒来的悬疑元素。性转《蓝色大门》+轻松《少年的你》，前一个小时嗑得欲仙欲死，后一个小时被主创欲拒还迎的求生欲憋屈得要死要死。电影第二幕之后完全是不成立的，电影投降抖音的态度是可鄙的，but who cares，能拍出来已经很牛逼了，如果这不是LGBT，那《拥抱》凭什么。郝蕾和祖峰的CP感竟然不弱于弟弟妹妹，吴磊竟然交出了一场《你的名字呼唤我》甜茶等级的表演，这闹的。
青春的记忆总是那些，早恋、高考、家庭矛盾，再平凡不过了，充斥着整个青春年华。每位演员都很惊艳，其中我最感触的一幕是郑宇星跟Siri对话，那种孤独感，形影单只被吴磊演绎的非常好。
只能说是诈骗。😓导演是真的骗子，秘密访客也是挂羊头卖猪肉。
个人评分8.2/10【A-】
你拉上我的手奔向梦想的疆界，晚风吻尽荷花叶，
为什么最后非要加一个kiss，真的令人无语
剧情很俗套，去电影院看的唯一好处是电音体验非常加分，令人想起疫情前还能去音乐节还去蹦迪的日子。
我和郑宇星最喜欢的音乐是一样的，不过我没有他的故事，审美一样就可以啦。
電影過後 會讓我想起那個他 他 ta 或者是ta 但其實 誰也不是 卻更像是我自己 這種偶然與想像未免會感到有些失落…
就硬吹，尴尬的剧情和演技，好好的调休，被拽着来看了这部，太后悔了
比预期中好。整个观影过程轻松愉悦，关于00后高中生活的描绘简单灵动，伏笔设置巧妙，答案揭晓也有效。笔触涵盖父母感情和家庭，少年成长和为家庭和桎梏作出的努力，早恋话题，酷儿与酷儿家庭等等。
那么在这样的青春成长主题之下，MING是谁还重要吗？挺喜欢陈正道对MING这个形象的留白，把MING当作一个孤独敏感的少年曾经寄托着全部爱和梦想的符号，其实根本无需具象化到男女吧
“如果我也能喜欢你就好了。”

3.挺好的真拍挺好的
同性群体以收割流行歌曲的方式寻求隐秘和公开之间的存在 也只有这办法了
我发誓这是中国最好看的青春片，甚至是，近几年来最好看的华语片。
我敢说这是近年来最好看的青春片，没有之一！整部片子很轻快明朗，没有堕胎撕逼这种疼痛文学，很贴近现实，同学之间的打闹让人仿佛回到了高中时期。吴磊弟弟真的好帅啊！尤其是成为DJ打碟的时候，帅疯了！这张脸真的好适合在大荧幕上，帅到我男朋友都在惊呼：卧槽！吴磊怎么这么帅？！我个人感觉弟弟的演技被低估了，可能因为长得太好看了吧？他的眼睛好像会说话，眼神就能传达出许多情绪，哭戏也是一绝，他一哭我也跟着哭，代入感很强。郝蕾老师一如既往的稳，演戏很自然也很细腻，不愧是影后，祖峰老师还有郑宇星爸爸的扮演者，演技也都非常好，有这些老戏骨的加入，这部电影也是锦上添花了。看的时候就有个疑问，陈辰的设定是哪里人啊？怎么子枫妹妹说台词带点腔调，感觉怪怪的，不过整体演得还行吧。
