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.
一个温馨又感动的故事，AI诗音在八年中付出的各种努力就是为了让悟美幸福，这纯粹又执着的感情，与平常我们以为AI太智能会威胁人类的想法完全不同，前后呼应，借用月亮公主这个主题，贯穿全片的歌声，随之联系起来的友情爱情，看到最后的时候真的是让人热泪盈眶！
我觉得还挺好看可能因为我喜欢歌舞动画片 而且大家有魔法都好酷啊 我好喜欢那个独角驴 还有变回自己后不完美的姐姐 做自己才最酷 迪士尼还cue let it go 虽然主线很简单也没有足够的戏剧冲突但是把它当成儿童片就好啦
又是被迪士尼的偷懒解决冲突的情节骗眼泪的一部。喜欢大力士和花姑娘两位表姐唱歌的段落，好美。
练静蹲的时候看看，挺好的，至少时间过得没那么慢了。

Shion设定的内核还蛮不错的，但剧本写的俗套并且低龄，算是通病？
女主会吟唱魔法啊，你们怎么会觉得她没有魔法呢！本片就像是一则强人政治寓言，女主从一开始的被冷落，不被看好，到游说家族内部各股势力，经历一场动荡之后，完成政权轮替与交接。可惜当地社群的统治权力，仍在女主家庭内部流转。她会是下一个LDH吗？
没有创新、只有炫技的迪士尼这次让人太失望了！
开始看评分太低，一直蛮抵触的，但看了发现明明很有趣很可爱呀，绝对是及格线以上的动画作品了，歌也超级好听~故事性确实弱了一点，但动画歌舞片看得开心就最重要嘛。每个家人都好有特点，特别喜欢布鲁诺舅舅呜呜~如果人人都能有主题曲就好啦，看着感觉太短啦！
魔法，鲜花，沙砾，坍塌。我就是喜欢这些呀～每一个角色都喜欢，二姐路易斯的歌好好听～也许实际并没有魔法，魔法可能只是爱的反光～
比同期BELLE好看多了！中间哭了好几次…TOMA跑到台上唱起歌的那一句 我直接暴风哭泣了 555555青春和爱和友谊最美好了
AI都比人类感人系列·片里的AI简直智能超神了，大概是作者梦想理想中的场景吧，如果能实现的话真的是很赞，公交车AI驾驶简直炫啊！还有女孩的家中设备👍🏻！
多少有点尬，只能说适合不带脑子看，人物画的比较讨喜。
动画版的歌舞剧～整体和海报一样充满了绚烂明亮，活力满满的南美色彩。音乐，画面都丰富流畅，视听体验很好，魔法房子的部分也很有趣。剧情相比疯狂动物城、coco稍弱一些，以至于一些情节的介绍、情感的转折只能靠歌舞撑起来。但总体轻松欢乐，没有巨大的矛盾，没有残酷的现实，没有深刻的顿悟，一切困难都能通过家人的互相支撑与爱化解，十分适合节假日里全家一起观看～另外开场动画小短篇也超喜欢，看哭了。
比较平淡的一部工作室作品 故事太过低幼，彻底的童话作品：一切仅仅只是灌输一个规则信条给儿童去相信，但形式又太过简单乏味。歌舞喧宾夺主。
尬的我脚趾抓地，这还不如寻龙传说好看，尤其是矛盾的化解办法就是唱歌跳舞抱一抱，这太离谱。
有点一言难尽…也算看日影常有的时而吐槽出声时而notwithstanding被感动到的体验了：）中途数次为对“幸福”的纯字面痴迷性重复皱眉时又不禁审视起这种批评：为何我（们）会将繁重的伦理框架及对某种反思或警觉的期待在先地加诸一个以AI为主题的故事上？如果把一些表达理解为“设定”，看法是否会相应变化？（当然这与讲故事方面的欠缺是两件事情）这是否说明，即使是在科幻里，某种现实主义倾向也在入侵？或许可同19世纪末Romance vs Realism的辩论相连，也又想起之前看特德姜作品改编时想到的问题。而如果一种“幻想本位”的观看被允许（由此，批评对象是此种观看方式或者文类，而非被置入现制伦理框架的作品），那么本片对于公主童话的看似不合时宜的坚持可谓自洽：它的叙事本身就是传统童话而非现代小说式的。

不需要敌对势力的抗衡就能支撑整个故事，非常不容易。虽然后续拖拉了一点。看到有评论问房子怎么就破裂了，怎么就修复了……我只想问，这都看不懂的话，就别进电影院浪费这个钱了，看看网综挺好的。
哼哼，那些悲观的技术决定论者啊，看看，这繁华盛世可不如你们愿捏。
