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.
狗好烦 一直鬼叫鬼叫，机器人也有点烦，话痨聒噪（最后的明信片上干嘛不画杜威？！虚伪的对狗的爱）
《芬奇》又是这样一部典型的作品。末世人类的世界设定，关于抵达目的地同是又是自我认知的追寻旅程。主角芬奇与机器人杰夫互为镜像同时又成为了传承。以上这些其实仍然是常见的公路电影的内在核心。只是《芬奇》显得更有决心，因为整个片子的正序叙事中没有出现第二个人类。也正因为如此，《芬奇》唯一的缺点可能正是过于工整，过于四平八稳了。
也许有一天，人类终将因为各种各样的原因而走向灭绝，人类的遗产将被某种硬件或软件继承，只要人类的爱意如果也能被继承下来，那人类就没有灭绝。
相当于《爱死机》的大电影呈现，真的很好看。几乎是汤姆汉克斯一个人的表演。……末世是个背景，这一切犹如他的个人救赎，随着公路片的进展，他也渐渐说出自己的故事，敞开心扉，直到离去。……有的影迷纠结导演留下的开放式剧情，完全没必要，那就是开放式的，薛定谔的猫一样，怎样猜测都可以。重要的是芬奇个人的感受。……导演证明了一件事，只要有好剧本，我就能拍好，《权游8》的烂，和老子无关……。尼古拉斯凯奇之后，布鲁斯威利斯变成了烂片王，汤姆汉克斯依然在线，难能可贵。
一个四不像，十几年前的WALLE都能在一个让人萌爆的机器人设定上碾压，I am Legend虽然颠覆了原著思维，但末世孤胆英雄+一条狗的故事双重碾压Finch，公路片？你是基丁吗？Jeff凭什么诞生，不解释；太阳爆发能破坏臭氧层是相当严重的，不仅是紫外线和通讯失效而已，全世界如何，不解释；连Finch是个什么样的人都没解释清楚，不愿go to the world和不合群不信任人是两件没关系的事，如何能从他的几次讲故事里拼出他这个人？好吧，我想多了，看了一眼imdb和mc，这就是个普通中等制作，根本没想把故事往有科幻完整设定的路上去走。。。但就是，何德何能在豆瓣拿到8.4然后把我骗进来啊。。。
m（21.11.21.13:28）看了半天看见弹幕我才认出男主是汤姆汉克斯😓 唉 要是小杜和芬奇都在就好了
不是汤姆汉克斯资深粉的是不是看不下去？反正我是一度看得要睡过去了。节奏太慢，剧情简单，治愈温暖没有感受得到，只闻到了美帝国主义一贯的鸡汤味。杰夫是照着张国伟的形象设计的吧，明明系统都设置好了却总是各种好奇宝宝，犯错了被训的委屈巴巴的模样真的很茶，但也惹人怜爱，特别是代入了把抖音当朋友圈发的张国伟的形象后。
象征着希望的太阳成为了摧毁一切生命的源头，于是汤姆汉克斯又一次诠释了captain这个角色，肩负起了寻找希望的使命！啊不对，应该是jeff啊！这片应该叫jeff啊！
一开始以为会很普通，因为感觉一切都像是末日大片，跨种族友情，蒸汽朋克的公路电影的缝合怪。但是怎么说呢，他烹饪的方式还是很让人舒服，主要塑造的是两个戏，外界的坏人是一个若隐若现的麦格芬，隐去的很巧妙。没办法，汤姆汉克斯看到蝴蝶的那一幕还是感动了，带两年了口罩已经强迫症洗手的我，无法不代入。
看演员表里还有“母亲和女儿”，还以为是芬奇遇见了别的人类，没想到是这么发生的。在芬奇离开后，只剩下机器人和狗的画面，太像动漫了。
4、这是一个小到不能再小的故事，我却从中看到了许多，感悟了许多，热泪盈眶，回味满满。
本来以为是部爱狗片，没想到讲的却是人工智能的成长。
配乐特别好，apple tv还是没有一部非常出色的电影
以前汤姆克鲁斯演达芬奇密码，现在只有芬奇了，他还演鲁滨逊，这种一个人玩的电影适合他。一人一狗和一个机器人的末日公路片。
你可以告诉我金门大桥上有多少颗铆钉 用了多长的悬索 桥有多高
看多了人与人的感情之后
开头很像WALLE，Tom Hanks越看越适合接替Ian演甘道夫了😂
对毛茸茸的小可爱没有抵抗力。
完美，集合所有我喜欢的元素：废土、未来、科幻元素、狗狗。Jeff的演绎非常出色，细微的动作传达出丰富的情感，虽然是机器人，但是你能感觉到他的体温。最后太催泪了，呜哇，眼泪它就是停不下来啊啊啊！！！！
被感动的是机器人的人性，按一个人来写机器人，一不小心就容易强加于机器人人性，电影拿捏的挺好，智能和笨拙同时在杰夫身上。当狗狗也死去，杰夫看怎么办呀……
