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.
视听语言无懈可击，音乐音效超级用心。就是画面太昏暗，加上影院侧面的位置看了快三小时有点坐不住。结局有点落俗。
看完了产生和现实的隐隐对应，如果以揭穿谎言之名来彻底毁灭，也是种困局，这故事就简单而无法推陈出新了
“同志们，永别了，我想念你们”
研究生毕业的时候写的王苹的导演艺术，那时候的学习很懵懂，但是王苹的作品感动了我，她的作品漂漂亮亮，人物有情感、有层次。这么多年后看修复和彩色版，觉得主角配角都鲜明，尤其是两位配角还有着30年代上海滩的特制，过瘾。
所有（私人）情感表达刚露出一点苗头的时刻，一定会被一句“这是命令”代表的革命理想堵回去，与此同时，对延安以及对战友的情感不断得到主张，一个不那么恰当的迁移，夫妻关系从来不是儒家文化的主轴，而是作为附属。@崔永元口述历史中心 胶片放映
但是故事实在太无趣了，又这么长，简直折磨
看了故事里的中国过来的，正如胡歌所说，烈士的一生就像一根火柴，一直潜伏在黑暗里，但恰恰是这根火柴，点亮了新中国的光明！向所有为国牺牲的先烈致敬！
吹五方史上最迷人蝙蝠侠就有点过了吧？全程看得到几分钟他的脸？整个节奏太慢了，砍掉半小时观感会好很多，和猫女的情感线真是没必要。
＃新蝙蝠侠
影片分别截取了国共对峙时期、抗日时期、建国初期三段历史截面描摹我党地下工作者在上海的种种，琐碎的生活细节里包裹着家国主义。原来敌特剧历来如此，这不就是余则成和翠萍么，六十年前怎么拍现在依旧怎么拍，乐此不疲。三个阶段跳跃感强烈，生拉硬转。孙道临的优势在于始终给人以缜密细腻性格的外观，是个谨慎的情报工作者形象。最后一句当然不是“永别了，同志们”，完全属于影视作品的戏剧化改编。
3.5/5，如果不是蝙蝠侠那过于中二的面罩和黑色眼影，真的和普通犯罪片没差了，超英的风格只在打斗和小孩戏份上得到展露
不管怎么说，能看到一部认认真真讲故事的超英已经很不容易，尽管仍然在讲一个几十年前的政府腐败梗。就算比不过扎克·施奈德版，也是值得鼓励。如果缩短到两小时，删减掉有的没的墨迹废话，屏幕再调亮点，让蝙蝠再酷点，才会勉强及格。5
救命终于看到罗帕蝙了我已经死了，好喜欢，这就是我最喜欢的蝙蝠侠了(꒦ິ⌑꒦ີ)用涅槃的《Something In The Way》作为主要旋律真是太对味了……（想看 2021-02-02呜呜呜再看不到罗帕蝙我就要死了）
太中意这种阴暗风格的电影了，罗伯特·帕丁森从今往后值得拥有名字，我再也不叫他嫩牛五方了……DC的超级英雄这么拍就对了
夹在红楼梦里，是由你送出去的。
没有刻意搞笑，没有巨星闪耀，射灯荡开迷雾，希望氤氲其中。终于等来了一部以电影的方式解决问题的蝙蝠侠电影，在谜语人的悬念之上，更引导观众关心蝙蝠侠本身和哥谭，所以不再有文本昭然若揭后的垃圾时间，三小时竟然都嫌短。主题音乐里，选择了跟命运交响曲开头差不多的四个音（三个同样的音+一个大三度下行音），然而命运第一句是稳稳的小调I级和弦，这部主题却在下行音走向VI级（如果在关系大调里它就是IV级，感情最强烈的和弦），而且跟Something In The Way副歌的Mm…mm…一句音程关系一样（时值不同），看完出来之后还一直在哼这个乐句，回味无穷。
我猜要是在影院看质感+音乐肯定就5星了。回归侦探漫画了不过槽点也不少，时长也没必要这么长要是拍动画也就是＜1.5小时的体量。马导做起来商业大片还是比老本行感觉缺点啥。（btw没注意下的是德版4k我还疑惑了很久为啥谜语人一直要写德语...顺便夸一夸德版制作很用心）
有些许闪光点，不过人物塑造脸谱化，整体太“样板戏”了，同时也是毫无意义的上色修复。
