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.
我有点没看懂那句，我要是也能喜欢你就好了的意思。真的看不太懂，有没有解答的小伙伴
可能这是审查制度下，我们能看到的GAY片了🌈
强烈怀疑陈正道受到曾国祥启发终于找到了适合自己的创作方向！
不愧是《盛夏光年》的导演，用这样的方式来讲一个不能说的故事，大开眼界。
“如果在未来，我们喜欢的人也能够喜欢我们，该有多好啊。”爱而不得，是多少青春的常态；哭到泪眼模糊，痛到心如刀割也难以解脱。《盛夏未来》其实讲的就是青春爱情的得与失，要勇敢接受喜欢的人不喜欢自己，虽然剧本整体有些禁不起推敲，部分桥段幼稚，但是给了我一种笨拙的真诚。PS：吴磊的哭戏感染力太强了，心已经在碎了。PPS：里面所有的配乐很大程度上挽救了电影。PPPS：因为ming是男的就对导演和电影做出各种指控的人根本没有在好好欣赏并理解这部电影吧😅。拍电影就是一种创作，创作就是一种作者本位的表达，从来就不存在你去直接用私货两个字拍板定性这一评价标准。并且ming是男生更深层次地去丰富了电影的主题——那些本该在青春里正常存在的边缘爱恋就一定要被忽视吗？它有存在的必要性，并且它被拍出来是很珍贵的事情。
天啊，无敌难看，如坐针毡!难以置信现在还有人拍这种电影，第一次觉得电影票血亏。
NBA粉丝必看，客串的球星太多了，詹姆斯客串一下会更有趣！剧情其实很老套，但由于对NBA的了解，让这片的励志显得更加熟悉。比较尴尬的是''Bo Cruz''后来在凯尔特人没能打出成绩，打了18场比赛后就被交易了，这个赛季也是各种流浪，如果结尾加盟的是埃尔南戈麦斯的第一支球队掘金可能还好点。爱德华兹演得真是坏啊！p.s. 本来是想拍来中国寻找一个草根球员的，但由于种种原因改成了西班牙，也是非常可惜。
学渣+富家子+电音DJ小网红，为见对象高考弃考，复读。
看完回来刷豆瓣才明白到底是个什么故事，为自己的智商感到担忧。
国产青春片清流了，生动诠释“青春片不和青少年恋爱那点破事较劲之后会有多广阔的空间”。主题词是“接纳”。吴磊花期快过了演技也马马虎虎，但帅。张子枫太抬戏了，快给她发奖！结构很像《壁花少年》，五月天的歌声响起，陈正道算是初心不改。
实在没有意会到“盛夏”的含义，满屏都是清新的自然风，难道是我之前低估了吴磊好张子枫的演技吗，这里面竟然竟然觉得两人还有点儿CP感。
故事虽然俗套，但每次看到这种真情实感去讲相信奇迹的故事，都会被感动。任何时候，梦想都不会也不应该廉价。
意外的好看。有时张扬有时隐忍，真是耀眼的青春啊。在如今的环境里，还能做出这样的电影，十分难得，创作者很厉害。吴磊饰演的男生，哭了好几次，男生也可以脆弱。而张子枫演的女生，倔强又易感的眼神，令人十分动容。最喜欢的一个场景是他们穿过重重彩色飘带去到音乐节现场，欢笑声，喧闹声，到处都是人。对照今天新冠的情况，也不知道什么时候能再有这样的时刻了。陈正道别拍花架子悬疑片了，再给其他弟弟妹妹拍点青春片吧。8月3日于影院
有遗憾，但是翻身仗。有后劲，延展性也强，《Moments》用得又俗又好，太准确了，太高中了，那音色和节奏，就是我对初高中的听觉印象，即便这歌之前从来没听过。与Z世代同频的华语青春片，暗色是《少年的你》，亮色是《盛夏未来》。©华谊兄弟。
如果未来某一天大陆官方支持LGBT了，必要记上陈正道的一份功劳，毕竟为同性也算是出了十分力了。
陈正道好会拍青春片哦 我们大陆终于有自己印记的青春片了 恰到好处的音乐，无伤大雅的笑点，不做作的台词，不矫情的感情线 而且，高中生就是要起哄啊！！太怀念了。 但是，“要是我也能喜欢你就好了”，说完，全场骂声一片 至于男主的隐形感情戏，他5月20日发的抖音，是“哥让我练习”。说说看，那个人大他八岁，年上挺好的。 另，片尾花絮比正片甜5000倍
无论ming是男是女 都不影响这是个美好的故事 这就是夏天 炽热的盛夏
PS：张子枫和吴磊好搭，突然好想嗑这组CP。╮（╯▽╰）╭
2018年在LA聊这个项目时，主角还是个中国人……
这才是青春片最该有的样子嘛，不再狗血，更多的是温柔还有治愈啊
