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.
让所有高度戏剧化的电影叙事消解于庸常极简的日常对话，早已忽略观者的感受，他们只是沉浸在喜欢的艺术创作方式中顺带炫耀羡煞旁人的爱情。
前面3星，后10分钟直接冲到5星，狗粮的极致是真爱和真爱的表达，缺一不可。
导演夹带私货已经没有上限了，敏后表演最松弛的一次。虽然我还是不怎么喜欢，但是能看敏后和一众熟悉的演员们每年尬聊一次，就已经很好。
《洪尚秀导演给爱人金敏喜的电影》。虽然一些角色比金出场时间长，台词比她多，但彩色一出来，导演隔着镜头跟她互道“我爱你”，我的天。
在第一个场景中，小说家便要求放弃听觉，将表意集中在视觉之上，随后正是通过陆续几次视线的引导，实现了望远镜中的金敏喜、窗外的小女孩以及摄影机背后的丈夫的出场，又或者说是视线创造了裂变以及角色。在这部电影中，叙事的结构与路线的结构重合为一条环线，沿途拾掇然后回到起点，在金敏喜的入睡中休止，随后另起一章，既可以视作在同一条线路上直接往下延展，又能依附于入睡时刻形成上下的层级关系，甚至在此发生了小说家/演员之间视点的分裂与偏移也并不重要，因为她一早便是从视觉中衍生的。
因为太典了，所以适合想喊口号的时候。其他真的不愿再说……彻底见识到把电影完全拍成private game会形成怎样的风格。（episode：跟我妈一起看的，没想到她对扯蛋流的接受度意外地特别高/但结尾阵亡于理解这俩人和电影和电影里的电影是什么关系）
你比她还爱她的生活吗？
他们的对话效率很低，做事却很高效。镜头内流动着徐缓，镜头外充斥着爱意。
洪常秀信手拈来的小品。
对金敏喜夹带私货的彩虹屁让人不断分神，这样的故事似乎让纯业余电影来讲述更有「元电影」的味道，而洪常秀充满程式化且自我炫耀式的腔调则越来越令人生厌。
洪导的电影虽然多数我也都很喜欢，但这部真的是洪导最近这几年最牛的一部
-，目光变得极柔和的女性电影，纯粹作为客体形象的金敏喜。
昔有褒曼捉鸡，今有敏喜拾叶。既是爱的宣言，也是电影创作宣言。
洪尚秀的无聊对话电影通过建立在导演对于电影本体探讨，人物的视角转换，身份的对立融合变换进而分化充斥在电影平淡剧情之中创造他所谓的这个时代的电影艺术价值。现实之中的电影导演创意远远落后于小说家。甚至现在拿着一些理论你也可以分析最早的电影，然后从这些电影之中看出微言大义。电影之中的小说家灵感丧失转战电影。（好像电影更容易似的）更是莫大的讽刺。
故事主线借由女作家的坚持传递自己的电影作者观，戏中“戏”则继续摇滚到底地向世界宣誓他们爱的主权。如果真有什么能够温暖四季的，大概就是金敏喜面对爱人时，那足以消弭一切的笑吧。
年华，情感，人生价值，疫情时代，戴口罩的金敏喜。
爱情啊，真伟大，
看完全片的我：骚瑞，作为多年洪粉，我对洪导最近戒烟还是戒酒毫不关心，对洪导有新欢（即使不是金）也无任何意见，但是看着一脸精明的金敏喜佯装单纯天真的忸怩作态，真的倍感恶心......但她和洪是绝配，因为两人骨子里都很享受名利带来的拥簇（也就是无论制作什么作品都会有人给出长篇大论的赞美），但在表达上绝对遵循“这是我自由的选择，我只渴望自由地自我表达，我追求纯洁的艺术，名利对我来说什么也不是”。不过洪的狡猾在于他会设置某些场景嘲讽自己的虚伪，而金在他的视角下永远无法开口，永远死气沉沉。
不知道该打几星，两星四星似乎都很合适。行了行了，知道你们很甜蜜了，下一个。
不知道是不是因为过于自然了反倒显得虚，依然不太能接受洪尚秀式尬聊，人物和环境脱离，就算掏心掏肺也让我觉得有所保留，无法接近。小说家的创作焦虑，因为把微小的事写得很夸张而产生自我怀疑，借由不断与一些认识或不认识的人相遇来倾诉，文本看不出亮点，所以电影到底需不需要情节呢？
