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.
@ Film Center, PFF 30. 很克制。最后的医院场不知道是解释还是延续，如果理解为后者会更好一点。
前面做的铺垫虽然后面都用上了，但是还是很索然无味。后半个小时则是高能不断，但那个时候的观众早已提不起兴趣了。
黑岛结菜姑娘真是我的菜，但男主真的太丑太土了，那个嘴巴，天
本来整体观感值三星，剩下的一星给结尾没有安排男女主再相遇，消失在茫茫人海中，可能才是人生的常态
片子质量一般，有很多隐喻，但什么得饶人处且饶人的评论把我看笑了，简直滑天下之大稽，不论片子有没有传达这层意思，自己倒是先把自己带入到恶棍作家身上了啊，也想当掌控下层生死的上位者？您配么？还是特么传统美德，我呸！！害死妻儿的人明明是他自己！但凡有一点点良心就先找根绳子吊死自己吧！
跟想象中差距很大，一开始以为是中年男人危机所以出轨Yolo，结果是确诊了癌症。但他的面对机制是找一个墨西哥年轻女人玩儿？我真的不太能理解。
美丽的、魔法一般的时间，在黎明来临之前随她一起消失。说什么成为社会人以后也可以延续青春的傻话，什么都会结束的，不是吗？爱情终究化作了罐装啤酒的泡沫，推动着自己向前的是不理想的工作，追逐不到“最喜欢”，连“第二喜欢”也是奢求，太阳升起后才看得清要面对的是怎样的人生。PS.结菜的“彼女感”过于完美，近似一场梦幻。
一个忍不住的性骚扰，变成两家人的家破人亡，太刺激了吧
结尾还是有点出乎意料的，我一直以为一直在铺垫作家的死，为作者/路易抹杀做铺垫。开头一堆人惊呼closter，我还以为他被luisiana干掉了，结果.... 女主漂亮，作家贼像Al Pacino
如果把刻意掩藏的信息前置，整部片都不成立了，把电影创作核心依赖于关键信息的隐藏，其唯一目的只是操纵不知情的观众心理，和任何表达都毫无关系。
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。
完全看不出和《新秩序》是同一导演。没有看到那些所谓“勾引观众”的“反转”都在何处，从两种声音开始进入(自然的白噪音对立的是机械
绝了，克制的镜头里暗流涌动，twist来得出其不意。
一个女孩被作家性骚扰，作家老婆知道后疯了弄死了自己女儿，最后自杀。作家把一切迁怒在女孩身上，杀光了女孩全家（只剩女孩和她妹妹（妹妹和作家女儿同龄？），最后女孩为保护妹妹在作家面前跳楼死了，结局妹妹和作家在一起了。电影没说明作家怎么杀死其他人的（或者说是他们遭天谴？）,看不太懂想表达什么。性骚扰毕竟是事实。
不好意思我没看懂…反转在哪？为什么看豆瓣点评我觉得我跟你们看的不是一部片…除了虚无，好像也没啥主题
马尔克斯有一篇短篇小说《纸做的玫瑰花》，仅用祖孙二人简单的日常对话叙事冗杂的故事。不去直接描绘故事本身，把真正要传达的故事主旨、始末、悬念一一隐藏，仅用表面上波澜不惊的文字传达内里暗流涌动的真相。并用意向反复比对：纸玫瑰与真玫瑰。看完小说，你会发现作者好像什么都没有说，仿佛是一篇剧情单薄、枯燥的作品。实则不然，这恰恰是精彩的文字游戏，冰山叙事，不详写，不解释，精彩的故事藏在看不见的地方，需要你有耐心去理解、融入。早恋、出逃、怨怼、反抗，全部藏在这平常的文字当中。本片亦是如此，只描写表面上的风平浪静，把阴谋、悬疑、真相藏在故事的脉络纹理间，而且也有自己的意向——猪。看似沉闷，其实汹涌。既然文学作品可以用冰山理论进行写作，那么电影同样可以运用。只不过这样一来，无法讨好观众罢了。
什么玩意儿啊！浪费时间！故弄玄虚，装神弄鬼，还惊悚还悬疑，哪儿有悬疑？？？？哪儿？？？不就平铺直叙吗，没有任何反转 而且逻辑也是漏洞百出，因为自己的错杀了女主全家，一点线索都没有？都不去找？光靠问？女主被杀了全家这么多年了最后才去死来解决？？才去和杀人凶手聊我不理解？？？
也不是在一些エモい的地方取景就可以拍一些エモい的故事
任何電影跟魂斷威尼斯參看都會讓我覺得很有意思。「他需要靜養」
晚餐与乐手暗送秋波，一切都是很惬意的，然而总会有划破这份美好的东西
