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.
这个小人物虽然还是开心麻花一贯的猥琐，但毕竟是工程师，没有抛弃动物，牺牲也更多是因为地球有你，而不是你们，理工人有这样的价值观还是很正面的。可惜，就没有任何可以记住的笑料了。
最后还缝了个迪迦是我妹想到的
沈腾在《独行月球》里贡献了从影以来尺度最大的演出，包括全裸和床戏。
整个故事线非常完整，而且节奏非常明快，作为喜剧片真的很搞笑，最后大概就是，喜剧的内核是悲剧吧，然后上了点价值，也挺好的。
可以看到两个文化不同的情形
尝试是值得鼓励的，但最终做出来的不是各种类型的集大成，而是四不像。打灯情节把科幻彻底变成玄幻，泛滥的煽情戏码让人哭笑不得。沈马之间的感情戏真的有必要吗？把男主角写死真的有必要吗？一眼让人想起火星救援，但科幻部分没法比就不说了，居然连让人真心发笑的次数也比不上，确实叫人遗憾。
煽情的部分略长了，喜剧的部分还是很好笑，神马组合太配了！
各种元素杂糅的合家欢，适合轻松无脑开心看。
它唯一传递出有信息量的内容就是，在一个时刻标榜中心论的地方，从来都是不讲科学的。
改掉了漫画版好多重要的线和经典的笑点，但整体的结构也已经非常不错了
挺超出预期，比绝大部分只会装疯卖傻，把电影当成短视频拍的低俗喜剧好太多，特效也不错，但最后的刻意煽情也还是大可不必。
电影院座无虚席，但是看得如坐针毡。这七拼八凑的剧情，基本梗都是能预估的俗套，几分钟来一次的主旋律升华…不如看八一建军。
被含腾高必精品感觉骗了。。。
好难看…中间看睡着了 作为喜剧片笑点完全不密集 科幻片逻辑漏洞太多 催泪的地方也不够催泪 倒是挺爱放歌 一整个太空主题大型mv…开心麻花 请专注喜剧 谢谢🙏
全片的笑点主要来自于类似于小品与舞台剧的那种一秒反转的梗，从情节上说几乎并没有起伏，典型的开心麻花风格，从本质上讲和李茶的姑妈还有日不落酒店这些片子没多大区别。但这种一秒反转的梗好笑还是好笑的，只能说之前开心麻花的片子比没啥变化与突破。
开局节奏真的很出彩，基本上三句一笑点，笑声基本上没停过，并一直延续到了影片中段。
视听很不错了，首尾的动画很好看，几首配乐很到位，喜剧感拉满，但就还是有挥之不去的舞台剧味道，很抱歉我不是这种麻花味喜剧电影的受众。
从一念天堂到流浪月球，其实还是悲剧内核，但是，作品成熟了，沈腾也成熟了。沈马组合，快乐星球
喜剧与软科幻的一次勇敢尝试，立身于漫画原作，所以剧情方面吸引人的地方也有。
