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.
这是部空间较小、戏剧性很强的影片，当成舞台剧演也没问题。整体说，故事很集中、流畅，悬疑感也很强，人物个性非常鲜明。黑人女主给人耳目一新之感，虽然有点稚嫩，但挺有气质，比较硬气、勇敢，也有些机智聪明，与大牌一起表演并不逊色。
一个月前就看到公众号的推荐，这个故事发生在半夜西部荒无人烟的沙漠警局里，他们平时都真的会值夜班通宵吗？一个开着满是枪洞的警车，中弹成心被抓的男人；一个假装酒驾撞警车被抓的男人（巴特勒成功让警局陷落）；一个女警唯一一个发现事情的不对劲调查的人，调查二人的背后（可惜自己中了自己的弹于是后面的故事只能是文戏）；故事精彩始于第五十分钟，一个通缉犯开心的来到警局，一个个的警察被他成功射杀。
把所有更加难以解释的困顿推给了死亡的预告，真的很令人大失所望
创意类似于《血溅13号警署》，一群badass级别的人齐聚在一个小小的警察局，悬念营造得还不错，不过主角间的互动没有预想的有意思，结尾也是相当潦草。
直到他签放弃财产的文件才明白，是亲姐弟关系啊？。。。
可是我好爱，甚至充满了近似于怪异的趣味，人物状态暴晒在日光下，但动机和目的却失焦，游走在异国他乡的ghost。
对话太多且不递进，除了神经病安东尼，其余演员也都很凑活事
剧情的走向充满着一种怪异的趣味，在弯绕中引领看客在最后梳理出各自想要的答案。但最终，它证明并不属于这两者，却拥有这之外的特质。
就不工整。天秤座表示难受。
他还是占了上层阶级的便宜啊，普通人如果绝症，毫无生存计谋，那…每天温饱都能焦虑死，哪来心情躺平
波兰New Horizions 2022。 这片子也太瑞典了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈。如果有的选，所有人都想处在感性的爽了就行的阶段。
影片并无宏大感和深刻性，但自始至终总萦绕着一股压抑感，上一次听到海浪声感觉如此压抑还是海边的曼彻斯特。
一看就是计划人为，不是巧合天怒。妥妥的邪恶在上。女主没啥错，有反转就好了。
一句慌话接连不断的谎，男主是自找苦吃。对问题回避，不知道如何面对，最后就还被迫等待死亡时。无意义的一生。
泰迪得罪了狠人，几波杀手轮番杀到。走投无路之下他故意袭警打算去警察局里避避风头，没想到各路杀手嚣张得硬闯了警察局。
还不错 我看到的是一种试图在度假里反抗庸常现代生活的调调 看到癌症我又有点生气 没想到夏洛特和lietome男主都老到可以演中年夫妇了 可能还是看得少了 觉得她出演的角色 性格多少都有点控制欲和神经质
总的来说算是不错的小结构动作爽片，设定很好，节奏不拖沓，全程无尿点，就是拍摄上还是差了点意思。
弗兰克·格里罗和杰拉德·巴特勒都是近来混迹于动作片的熟脸，两人同时出现在《警察局》中，影片的风格无需多言，肯定就是一通打打杀杀。
你的笑,是皎月拥抱太阳的笑,是河流奔向大海的笑,是蓝天遮挡白云的笑。你笑着,我的整个世界都亮了。
坏蛋扎堆，好人能打的就一个。zzzq的解法里，这部片子算是出色的。一顿枪击，算是爽片吧。
