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.
虽然哭了好一会 但是拍的还是好烂啊啊啊啊啊
片名起得真好。当动作悬疑片可以看得很爽，唯一遗憾是结局太傻了，最后那个觉醒突兀到让人怀疑漫威投钱了。
没什么逻辑的剧情，前面既不够甜蜜浪漫的纯爱，后面又不够煽情和催泪，为了虐而强行制造了一些冲突和别离，但完全没达到那个效果，很多地方的设定和处理都是没头没尾的。有病为什么不能在一起相互鼓励和陪伴，就硬要提前分开了，就那么挣扎一下，就没了联系，等到快死了才跑来见了一面，是爱还不够么。为了片尾野田的歌勉强三星。
坂口健太郎真的好像小狗啊，每次他哭都好让人怜爱。天空树，初诣，樱花，烟火，海边，野餐，滑雪…可能只是每对普普通通东京情侣的老套约会日常，但在女主眼里也是值得记录下来的不可多得的奢侈记忆
经典的故事情节，画面很美
俗套又拖沓，我小学的时候会为一公升的眼泪和在世界中心呼唤爱痛哭流涕，不代表这把年纪了还会被死人纯爱骗走眼泪。
低沉的情感贯穿整部电影，剩下10年的生命，找到属于自己的美好
是春天街头的樱花
受不了。。。真的好看吗。。好慢啊太拖沓了吧，好无聊。但是生生死死这种东西总是感人的只能这样说。
总体来说一般 但合格了
抱着高期望来的 比想象中差些意思… 通篇相对台词矫情 没让人入戏 小松菜奈还是很美的
卡司基本都是我喜欢的，并且宣发期剧照拉高了期待值，但电影呈现稍逊。
看得出电影各方面挺用心可是剧本确实没什么新意，勇敢去爱的界限到底在哪里毕竟死亡这个东西总是会沉重。我作为观众看到非要等到快来不及才开始奔跑这种场面是很难受的。喜欢各位演员，坂口还是好帅呜呜演这个角色我其实觉得很贴合，最开始的样子很能共感的。
这牛逼得卧槽 尽管我猜对了剧情 但是还是吊

电影画面美哭了,有樱花,有落叶,有雪,
nana和坂口的超长mv，各给一🌟还有一颗🌟给黑木华，镜头不多但很有感染力。
温子仁回归老本行，中间恐怖的地方成功让我躲离电脑屏幕三米远，最后的反转也足以让所有细节全都连起来。整体看来其实跟他之前的恐怖片都还蛮不一样的，除了剧本以外，整体的风格还有氛围营造，其实都游移在某种随时要“掉链子”的边缘，但最后又很惊险地兜住了，呈现效果又意外地搭调，以及包括血浆虐杀类型的杂糅，倒是有一丝创新在吧。恐怖片里这些人怎么老喜欢单枪匹马战斗呢，看得我也是很崩溃。看最后似乎是会有续集，期待了。三星半。
配乐似乎借用了Pixies的Where Is My Mind，剧本其实非常有趣，铅黄、鬼宅、动作片、身体恐怖（柯南伯格、帕尔玛之外，还想到格德勒《恶神》），繁复的外壳包裹简单故事，情节在各种恐怖类型中无缝切换，但最终效果实在令人不敢恭维。帕尔玛式pulp故事确实很能检验一个导演，同样爱用镜头炫技，帕尔玛、阿基多都是为了悬念服务，而到了温子仁这里，精致华丽的俯拍、倾斜、越肩长镜就成了拖沓累赘的漫长趣味展示，放在动作片里还算恰当，而在恐怖片里，就既不中看也不中用。恐怖形象方面，温子仁（和他的朋友们）似乎已经再也离不开“扭曲人体”这一个创意了。
虽然剧情很简单也很普遍，但是画面真的很美啊。导演说想看坂口和nana谈恋爱，我只想说干得好！！！这两个人都太好看。还有这部剧有很多官方胶片照片，太美了受不了，存不能停。最后是洋次郎的歌，爱了。
