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.
毫无长进，毫无新意，剧情敷衍。为了敷衍特效大段大段的夜晚场景，索尼想搞自己的蜘蛛侠宇宙也麻烦用点心。
上一部本来故事就很蠢，但是靠着合体的奇妙化学反应撑起了全片。这一部两人的合体没有任何新意，甚至比上一部差太多，然后再套上一个观众起码已经看过十遍的故事，真是难看死了。
功夫里的狮吼功加大喇叭功力可翻倍，毒液2里的狮吼功却被大喇叭压死了。毒液的嘴也太碎了，可能是小鸡脑壳吃多了
6.5分。作为一部爆米花是完全合格的，各种基本的期待也都拉满了。但就如第一部，或者说还不如第一部那样，整个故事的“格局”实在是太小了，作为反派的屠杀还没好好刻画就直接被吃了。原本其实屠杀和尖叫两人之间能力相克是一种很好的设计，完全可以展开很多，这样草草收尾挺可惜的。还好埃迪和毒液还有安妮和丹这样的四人组合相互之间有那么点火花，否则这片子真的没啥看点了~~~最后的彩蛋不错，值得期待~~~~
好凌乱啊。。。一种可以，但没必要的感觉。。。最大的惊喜是彩蛋
昨晚看了，是真的很无聊的一部续集，整部下来就是一个人的自言自语 然后自言自语生了个儿子 儿子打老子没打过 就结束了。 跟1没得比！
故事很不好看……唯一的看点是彩蛋和姆爷的片尾曲
都什么年代了
汤哈迪+筋肉触手=辣上加辣！这个超辣套餐真是狠狠戳中本淑女一些点，我的理智飞走只想被他按在地上摩擦🥰作为漫画cp粉，总是对小两口的感情戏有更多期待，希望下一部再多些争风吃醋吵架和好互诉衷肠的恋爱日常。沙滩落日我爱你，不接个吻合适吗😿（ps：居然还有二册客串）
看了毒液2，实在太让人失望了，整部片水的不行，去掉片头和结尾字幕，才80多分钟，一半时间汤老师都在和“毒液”打嘴炮，无聊透顶。
因为不是迪士尼，而是索尼拍的，所以这片拍给13岁小孩看的燥片。但是看过漫威电影的观众，没那么好骗的。
伍迪哈里森很适合演坏人，坏笑。毒液是真的丑呀。如果我有外星共生体，我会疯掉。精神病的爱情故事。无论你有多奇怪，都有人爱你。片尾有彩蛋，关于蜘蛛侠。
太呱噪，毒液卖萌卖的太过火了，整体没什么创意
明明是第二集了，但是光是让屠杀出现，就用了30分钟，全程都是毒液和宿主的碎碎念日常。其实在第二集，索尼应该是要讲更多关于毒液后续的内容的，这就需要交代更多的背景知识给非漫画迷了解，但问题是非漫画迷其实更关心的是整个电影的逻辑顺序和故事性，而不是靠一些彩蛋引起的高潮。主角和毒液还在纠缠于吃人和不吃人的问题上，毒液像一条被抛弃的流浪狗，然后一出分手又和好的戏码。就决战来说是合格的，问题在于能不能不要夜戏，真的很多战斗场景都太黑了。
全片去除片尾不到九十分钟，剧情相当简洁粗暴，又吵又闹。
毒液：我们刚失恋，所以不跟你计较。
主要是第一部就特别不喜欢预期拉得暴低，这一部冲伍迪哈里森的邪魅表演倒没觉得那么难看，反正就依然是预算有限不思进取继续挥霍设定的平庸续作呗，找了两个相互克制的反派也是挺迷的，结局也比较坑爹。。至于彩蛋，我只想说不要辜负大家的期待吧。
毒液2将尚气和黑寡妇都衬托得无比优秀 导演安迪瑟金斯老湿 你是猴子请来阴汤老湿的救兵吗 演咕噜金刚和人猿凯撒不香吗 非得拿喇叭当导筒 还是Sony给迪士尼漫威甩脸色撂挑子
浪费一小时的烂片（快进两倍速看的）威廉姆斯大美女怎么还是那么好看
零分。非电影。说是为最后和蜘蛛侠的联动彩蛋而拍的这片我都信… btw: 单就视效的精细程度也远不如第一部
