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.
评分有些偏低，但我看得很开心，个人觉得比第一部有过之而无不及。该有的元素都有了，就是木村看上去这张老脸有些臭，呵呵。
最后的破案比较莫名其妙，整体依旧比较平淡。
这次连感情戏都这么烂 这么单薄…..弄啥勒
剧情推进跟前一部一模一样…麻美面相更加老气跟大神反而不配，cp感0
故事本身有點無趣,但看到結尾跟第一部互相呼應,就加你一星吧！
可能因为看得不专心 整个动机完全没明白 看个热闹
原著是续集电影自然也是续集，一切都延续了第一集的阵容又讲了一个故事，本次倒是没那么多与主线无关的内容，推理破案部分有些弱，不过看过原著也知道改了不少，鉴于原著到此为止要不要把《假面前夜》拍成个电视剧？
开场五分钟，酒店前台都能用气球遮挡广告牌了，离谱到家，第一部《假面饭店》已经够难看了，没想到还能继续往下挖掘。烂片，五分钟弃
“为了客人能在酒店享受幸福的时光，我们一直在守护客人的假面。”长帅哥的店员测试，惩罚婚外情的恐怖妻子，为妹妹复仇获得快感的男装女性，喜欢她人却不得始终的弱男，木村拓哉很帅
赵婷是疯了吧？这拍的啥啊，是在YY自己是被几个白男追的圣母亚裔吗？而且逻辑混乱，人物动机莫名其妙。漫威已凉。赵婷，给你个建议，下一步可以考虑出演奈飞版程心。
形形色色的人在职业性极强的酒店过新年夜，就像是推理悬疑版的《有顶天酒店》。精彩程度不如后者，基本上全程看麻酱了。
在拍原子弹之前，有几个大屠杀的镜头过渡一下，可能会调节一下观感，至少不让人反感。
一开始设定了一天之内，一上来各种密室、场景、线索和人物镶嵌，我就以为鸡汤少了，结果是我想早了，后面有的是。其实所有人戴面具这个设定，不管在视觉或者类型融合上有很多可能性，但呈现出来的是这种过家家水平的货色，实属说不出话。不过我必须给多一星，演反派的麻生久美子演的很不错，气质超级英俊和魅惑。
太傻逼了，从故事到拍摄到演技。PS：如果我住酒店的时候，酒店工作人员协助其他客人送我礼物或者邀请我见面，我只会想投诉+报警。
电影说，“来酒店的人们都戴着假面”。我认为人有多面，去酒店的人反倒是为了卸下假面，更爱自己。
活整的太烂了，下次别整了。不知道为什么上一部还很来电的长泽雅美和木村拓哉，这一部却很不来电…酒店管理整的像抖m人群聚会一样，可能这就是日本的酒店文化吧…
铃木雅之可能真的是为数不多我看场面调度就能认出来的导演（不是因为好，是因为熟悉）。都这么久了看木村穿白衬衫跳tango还是会心动。过于注重群像导致案件本身反而站不住脚，动机和作案手法都经不起推敲。
和第一部最大的区别就是把几天的案子塞到了一天中，木村拓哉惯例被怼，长泽雅美按头说教。盘凶过程也是大差不差，第一个处理的case就是凶手，连准备动机都是先来酒店看一看警方的布控情况。
看到这觉得这两部电影最大冲突与张力就在于，极度维护隐私的酒店方与探究隐秘的警察间的碰撞。真正的故事藏于隐秘之中，悬疑只是表象。木村的演技还是欣赏不来。
名侦探柯南剧场版既视感，人物众多，铃木家的化妆舞会、杀人预告、情感羁绊、唯独差个动作结尾。
