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.
好酷好可爱，好喜欢这种公路片风格的结尾。如果有续集的话，大坏狼能和狐狸小姐谈个恋爱吗？
应该是2D，制作没那么精美，剧情什么的也比较老套，就追车戏还不错
真不是我妄想症犯了，这导演是不是喜欢秘密特工和盖里奇啊……或者音乐的参考文档里面全都是秘密特工………………
后半段节奏比前面好，就是说没有哪一个狗勾可以拒绝别人夸他是个“good boy”
尬笑了，这套路，第一次看的人会觉得还不错，其实真的做导演是很幸福的事情因为可以不停重复自己还有人看。甄子丹真的想学成龙但是总感觉是坏蛋，谢霆锋做坏蛋比做警察迷人多了
好久不见的电影院，不过3D属实没啥必要。有点疯狂动物城的意思，人设很立体很欢乐，捕捉的也很到位，看得很欢乐。CBD万达。
设定以及剧情走向都特别像《疯狂动物城》，内容深度差的不是一点半点，当然一个合家欢电影要什么深度呢。
6/10。有点无聊，如果主角像《十一罗汉》换成人类这部电影就是不及格的。福瑞控都想吸一下摇着尾巴的大坏狼吧。另外疯狂动物城最后反派也是人畜无害的食草动物，这种反转梗太陈旧啦。
100'有人说，无商不奸。其实，做生意就像打仗一样，没有精明的头脑怎会打胜仗，这个世界谁肯做炮灰，道理很简单，下等人用劳力赚钱，中等人用知识赚钱🇬🇬
开篇抢劫银行前的情节类似低俗小说的开篇，劫狱那段颇有杀死比尔的感觉。总体剧情一般，鲨鱼挺逗的。
“要么当坏蛋……要么滚蛋。”
相当的无趣，众多的人物分散了笔墨，导致任何一个所谓坏蛋都不怎么讨喜也自然谈不到立起来，而故事又过于低龄，笑点也不够精彩，只能说是继卑鄙的我和破坏王之后又一个了无新意虚张声势的流水线行活伪反派电影
谢霆锋好像没演过反派吧，形象好颠覆。ps当晚为爱受了伤
流畅得不像实力派……压缩了剧情时间的爽片……最后还是正赢了，如果他们真的是“坏蛋”呢？
动作戏很精彩，谢霆锋饰演的反派很帅，和拆弹2一样的用完即弃的剧情，整体还是挺俗套的
如鲁邦三世等侠盗故事，好久没看这样亦正亦邪一群动物们搞事动画了。觉得还挺不错的，就是这3D画风有点让我难以接受，哪怕搞成《疯狂动物城》那么毛茸茸也行啊！
最近在带孩子读论语，读到了“见贤思齐焉，见不贤而内自省也”那一句，给孩子把意思讲了个七七八八，然后我们讨论的结果是，关键是你有一颗向上的向好的心，那么无论你遇到什么，都可以汲取到正面的东西，变成自己变好的养料。在这个时候看到《坏蛋联盟》这个电影，感觉在印证这个想法一样。当你想好时，便处处都是向善的动机，不必感谢豚鼠
看完预告片期待过高了，整体很一般，bad guys没啥魅力，还不如megamind可爱，配音也麻麻跌
7分，应该是五一档最轻松最喜剧的电影了。虽然是坏蛋联盟，但同样也是五个同甘共苦的好朋友，绝不能落下一个人。
那我们又该如何面对个人心中的阴影与恶呢？
