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.
对于导演和演员确实觉得足够的肯定，也承认是好的作品。但看的莫名糟心（应该是无法共情和理解）
音乐好听。Paul Mescal，Jake Lacey后新一代男花瓶？
怎么说呢，都是最平常的日子，虽然淘气却可爱的女儿，可是却是无法忍受的伤痛。女孩子没有被教育人生有多艰难，她们要背负的是什么，为家庭牺牲人生，她们只被教育爱情的美好和成为母亲的伟大。镜头的冲击让最平凡的场景变得尖锐，像一把锥子扎进女主的心里。有些女孩在年轻的时候被情话哄骗然后懵懵懂懂中自我安慰，还有些女孩终于在煎熬半生后后知后觉。那些伤痛不会离去，社会不会改变，也无人理解和倾诉，最后不过是茕茕孑立。今年奥斯卡的女权电影都太有质量了。
有点窒息。想太多又无力好好过，日常是一根扎人的针。
3.5，虽然年轻的场景和现在的场景的衔接不够紧密，割裂感比较重，单独看都比结合起来看要更好，但我还是挺喜欢这个由此及彼由表及里的表达的，Olivia Colman的表演很棒，奖运很好的她，颁奖季继续杀出一条血路吧。
狗都嫌的中年大妈在年轻时是个出轨并弃子的文艺女青年，看脑残影评在打婚后男女角色扮演的平等拳？妙啊！这都能打拳，脑子进屎了吗？
费兰特也算是整体比较熟悉的作家了，我没法儿把这部当成独立的新电影。片子给我感觉有种说不出的奇怪，我再找时间看看书吧
能看出来是伪欧洲艺术片的美国独立电影 不过最后的结尾真的好绝 恐婚恐育只想在电话里当母亲 想要给予爱更想要自由和呼吸 （will sandwich笑到了
开头以为要发展成《伊甸湖》，中段全程激起我私人对于玩偶的不适和恐惧反应，结局的明暗交汇和暧昧不清甚至觉得那不过是幻觉和死前潜意识的自我安慰，玛吉首执导筒便让人刮目相看，略显生涩的影像还原了某种原著文本的文学性，惊悚和悬疑的布局下，用人到中年功成名就独自度假的闲适，与其视角下小镇的女子将要面对或正在面对的母女困境，揭开其不为人知的伤痛往事，以及可以想见困扰其多年的内疚与懊丧，闪回段落中平行时空里被繁琐和无助所包围的育儿日常让观众能够充分共情其崩溃、抑郁与绝望的情绪，或许对于女性观众会有更强大的共鸣力量————自然，也是女性日常恐育的有力佐证。
感受到了情绪却无法融入情绪。马吉吉伦哈尔绝对是有才华的。把夹在家庭与自我之间挣扎的女人们展现得很好。
Maggie犹如写散文一般创作了这部作品，情绪高于故事。如此女性，如此细腻。
导：4/内：2.5 不喜欢一切建立在不平等关系上的自我救赎

其实都只能证明导演既没能力打造出一个完满的人物，也根本就不相信他们写出的人物。
四星半。非常非常惊艳以及直达内心。为什么我一直说我不要小孩。because I am an unnatural mother。”I left my daughters for three years.” “How did it feel?” “It felt amazing.” 作者选择的削水果皮的意象简直是惊人的sharp obversation。我成长中的很多事情都忘记了，但是我让我妈削水果不要削断皮的记忆一直都刻在脑子里。同看的男同学的感想是: Dakota Johnson’s hot。I want to have gyros for dinner tomorrow。。。
不是母亲 也不像片中的女儿 作为一个从小就不哭不闹察言观色的孩子 不想有机会体验这种亲子痛苦了
导：4/内：2.5 不喜欢一切建立在不平等关系上的自我救赎
呃，不太懂为啥夸成这样，就一部很故弄玄虚神神叨叨的处女作。重心都放在了闪回的重合和双线叙事的剪辑上，说实话还挺学生电影的，尤其是两个小时闪回比重基本要和现实部分的叙述持平了，整体结构拖泥带水非常笨重，起承转合基本上都是靠科尔曼女士的怼脸特写撑起来的，以致于没大看出Ferrante的风格，反之却有一种英式的Sally Rooney的感觉？黑发达妹和海滩度假真的好搭，但是她这个角色其实可以再深挖一点，在这里完全就是服务主角有点可惜了，不过没看过原著也不大好评价，之后可能会补。ps.阿尔芭脸啥时候肿成这样了...
依赖了女主角精准出色的表演
生与养是个交出自己，以血肉哺育下一代的过程，自我的完整性遭到蚕食，它需要耐心、技巧、最重要的是协作。当冷言冷语统统指向“母性”，本该美好的亲缘关系便扭曲为枷锁，逃离随之发生，但这不会是出路，而是对男女双方的惩罚，留下的空白阴影吞噬余下人生。作为新导演，她选择以手持和华丽配乐掩盖技巧上的捉襟见肘，企图活化呆板的叙事，无法完全激发几组人物之间的张力，释放“玩偶”这一核心意象的信息，将一个颠覆大胆却又理应如此的故事大喇喇平铺了出来。
