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.
前半段过于平淡，全篇不如预告好，用漫画这个想法不错，结尾很有趣加一星
婚姻复仇爽剧啊！从此以后你要画我和别人的外遇故事了，你开心吗？
为什么我觉得算是很有意思的一击，可是冷静下来想一想，凝望深渊久了，是否也会变成恶龙。
這故事挺有意思 虛實交錯的劇本...... 柄本佑演技最佳
不知道为啥看了黑木华这么多电影就是喜欢不起来，所以每次遇到她演的电影也就跟着没那么喜欢，还好这次的男主比较喜欢，本柄佑出身于演员世家，演技有种不漏声色的随意与自然可爱。漫画和真实穿插的部分很可爱，一度有了悬疑的味道甚至被导演骗了，以为是女主对男主的试探和考验，谁知道最后是女主真的出轨了。片中的两个男子都像是女性的工具，可是爱情是什么呢？学车教练仿佛是她报复丈夫的工具，而最后口口说着我还爱你只是无法原谅你转身离开就是洒脱吗？把画作署丈夫的名字是施舍吗？不过日本人在探讨爱情方面总是更为直接新颖且大胆的。喜欢女主妈妈的大房子和庭院。以及夫妻没去成和情人去成的蓝色大海。幽默是有的，不过大概是因为疫情吧感觉电影还是局限在小空间里。
前半部分，要睡着了～
加菲和托比出场时候全场的欢呼和尖叫不就是你们口中最纯粹的迷影情节吗，这怎么可能是主题公园呢。
这电影看得让人不知该抱着何种心情，若是改编成恐怖悬疑的精神病分裂又平行的情节，会一点也不费力吧！可是人家偏要拍成黑木华的单眼皮恬淡笑容+柄本佑哎哎哎的痴呆傻样，你能有什么办法哈哈哈～
怎么觉得奈绪的真爱是漫画或者黑木华呢23333
三蛛同框不仅仅是蜘蛛侠影迷贯穿二十年成长的Celebration！三只关于过往伤痛的对话更像是不同成长阶段的自己与自己的对话，这和自我关怀疗愈中的空椅子疗法异曲同工。中年的托比告诉青年的加菲，嘿我和MJ过得不错，蜘蛛侠和彼得帕克的身份可以做到平衡，你也可以！托比和加菲对更年轻的荷兰弟说，嘿，我经历你经历的，我感受你感受过的，我们都曾认为那是My Fault，但我不想你再承受我曾承受的痛苦[泪]所以最后的拥抱才会如此治愈！那是对自我的和解与关怀
这三部蜘蛛侠的剧本真的是一部比一部烂，电影前半段我真的要骂娘了（除了某惊喜现身时刻…），太儿戏了。后半段纯靠情怀拉回一些分数，赚了我一些感慨+几滴眼泪。不过整体上仍然是食之无味、弃之可惜。结尾两个彩蛋，第一个联结《毒液2》结尾彩蛋，后一个直接放了《奇异博士2》的预告片，很期待但是漫威也真的是越来越偷懒了。
“丈夫”这个角色很有意思，当然，柄本佑的确也演得好，黑木华也是我喜欢的，里头的漫画也好看，很愉快的观影过程。
被编剧玩死了＞_＜漫画家这个身份和现实的交叠这个设定真是很妙啊。
非常极度不喜欢女二的キャラ什么明るいbitch，男主，キモ。
比现实更实的漫画在对生活的重复之中夺取了诠释的所有权力，一种轻盈的摆荡和反复跨越，这里女性的伎俩把男人耍得团团转。这种面纱本身是对男人的诱饵，不断让你猜猜看；而对于女人来说又是无足轻重，是随时可以丢掉的（就像作者的名字让给你就好了，我有我自己的享乐），在了解了规则之后，决定不再和你玩了，而是对规则的戏耍。本以为黑木华不太能演这种片子的，但是意外好！（黑木华和柄本佑都好好看。我果然喜欢看起来汗津津脏兮兮的男人，笑。）
前半部分，要睡着了～
报名驾校五年了都没去考，看了这个电影决定去考！
整个剧情来说没有太多惊喜的地方，如果抽调漫画这个独特的想像载体，也许就是一部家长里短的肥皂剧。
1.男主女主“大和解”后，并头开始画漫画，把小三感动得两眼冒星星，这是哪个鬼才想出来的啊？
一开始导演就各种暗示老公跟小编辑有一腿 车里老婆用老公手机给她打电话很微妙 这部电影设计微表情很巧妙 这个老婆好聪明 设计了一个老公无法跳出的圈套 老婆漫画都画出来她看到了你们kiss了 你还不承认哦 这老婆是要成全老公吗 以后还要定期画漫画寄给老公 自己找了个驾校教练 挺冒险的 认识时间并不长
