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.
3.5。女主最后为了自救和救盆友确实很厉害。然后一口咬掉男主的JJ。啧啧啧啧大开眼界。前面有多sweet 后面有多残酷。还挺好看的。
#日舞2022#看饿了！立刻！马上！吃烤肉去！
险象环生密室，低成本博刺激。
弱。过早言明的关系，于是状态不再延伸，僵硬的后半段只能剥削猎奇以加深恐惧。真的很不喜欢这些过于直白的后metoo电影，就其表达而言，甚至不如《大红灯笼高高挂》瘆人
暴风雪山庄模式+绑架案 剧情有bug但总体说得通 也有几次小反转 剧里两个被收养的绑架犯、参与雇主家女孩绑架并期望分到钱的前护士、欺凌保洁阿姨的有钱人家小女孩、因吸毒而被家人嫌弃的女主和前海军军官 剧里的一句话说得对：不知道别人的人生难以定论是非 L&S174
冬兵葛格, 为什么对女孩子下手!!!史蒂夫的美臀不香了吗？
如果现在还有人把浪漫邂逅—“你很特别”-高大帅气玛丽苏当做fantasy就可以看看这个
题材和角度很有意思，就是智商降的太狠，斗智斗勇脱困永远不知道补刀的重要性
女主像海瑟薇，男主82年的但看着却很老气。
音乐很棒，也仅此而已，可以预料到的结局和剧本。一口咬下男人的生殖器，能对他造成多大的伤害？
这个电影其实挺真实的，女人不能把幸福和快乐寄托在别人身上，另外谈恋爱被渣男玩弄感情剥削性价值还算好的，分分钟被关起来卖器官才恐怖，谈恋爱真要谨慎摸清对方底细才好跟对方单独相处，不然很危险。
一众边缘人围着一个上层的孩子大逃杀。美国警察依旧没有让人失望。
封闭空间，忽略剧本小漏洞，剧情和反转已经很不错，全程节奏也够紧凑
这片有非常强的隐喻，看不出的人恐怕是选择性眼瞎耳聋吧。
armie hammer传记片，sebastian stan当食人魔也太辣了（此处应有emoji）
剧情和氛围还不错，女主太强大了，看似平民但每一步操作都很精准。
挺好的呀，节奏和故事都不错，除了个别环节说不通，比如拿枪不直接打伤劫匪。为啥评分这么低
题材不错，中间略显枯燥，不过整体还可以。塞巴斯蒂安好帅！😍
为了女主看这种惊悚，我还是有点害怕的，拍得不错。行了我不吃生肉了
2.就算条件再好，也不能急着完全相信对方。比如万万不可对方都没说带你去哪里就跟着他去。对于刚认识不久的人，一起出行，一定要把住处地址发给熟悉的人，让别人知道你的行踪；
