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.
不好看，浪费时间，完全不用脑子拍的，男二有特点，女主漂亮，莱托依然gay
很水很水，就是不好好讲故事，也可能是被剪辑的面目全非……
竟然是小馬哥導演的，斯國一，很久都沒有看到這種good old fashioned犯罪片了，還有點想念。小馬哥被嚇得花枝招展的樣子好可愛，哈哈哈哈哈哈，很多地方一本正經地搞笑就更好玩了，不過本質上結局還是很悲慘的，再加上活死人軍團裡面小馬哥的結局，就更慘了，QAQ。
很无聊的前传。。。甚至比不出正传前传哪个更难看
以身试毒，挑着MattSmith的戏份过了一遍…演员都很好，但剧情真的土，土得我想给奇异2打五星…索尼我劝你放下IP立地成佛…
为什么要对救了你性命的兄弟？？中国人最几把反感忘恩负义的东西了。你能不能花点耐心给你兄弟解释一下，这个药剂有缺陷，但请你别他妈伤害你兄弟的心，操傻逼导演编剧
从一部电影中的一个角色衍生出了一部电影，人物不单调并且过程很有趣。但它整体缺乏一种电影应该有的东西，就是那种令人激动和惊奇的东西……
小哥还是一如既往的可爱。弥桑黛不爆炸头刘海很适合她诶。美丽。剧情过于顺风顺水。开锁全凭听总觉得对不起大师设计。但是可能最重要的是故事和感情吧。虽然最后也不知道他懂了啥。看个愉快是足够了。山寨金刚狼真是惹人厌。嘴里念念叨叨爱吃东西的人都不会太坏哈哈。黑客女孩也很乖。还挺想看续集。不是活死人军团啦。哦对了，小哥的穿搭都很好看。鞋子貌美。
我不知道为什么保险库没有保安把守而且铁门打开，但影片对塞巴斯蒂安·史来希特-沃纳特的角色塑造很完整，马提亚斯·施维赫夫自导自演，扎克·施耐德作为制片人，我对活死人军团系列宇宙很感兴趣，但剧本还是得细心打磨才行，影片拥有好的想法与创意，但剧情没有像正义联盟那样足够精细。
不差。爆米花电影。
除了剧情无惊无险、解锁如同儿戏、主角CP不太来电之外，其他方面都挺好挺认真的。
在宏大的故事展开之前，在僵尸危机迫在眉睫前，却完全是一个充满了喜剧色彩、几分浪漫还塞满了套路的劫盗故事。这种独立的气质会否进而影响 （和鼓励）其它角色篇的不同延伸- - 比如Tig Notaro帅气的“Marianne”，声量虽小的Theo Rossi（“Burt”）还有真田广之（与他的赌场）；让人充满好奇，也有值得执行的动机。因为本身很喜欢Matthias本人和“Ludwig”，他将这份讨喜的特质放大；就当是造福粉丝的加场放送，也未必不可。不用细究太多，也喊俗套，坐下享受就好。【Zac Efron“中招”了，一秒破功哈哈哈】
没想象中那么难看，也就美剧的水平，但我觉得比之前的毒液好看多了。而且这个暗黑“蝙蝠侠”比DC的蝙蝠侠能力强多了，莱托也有种吸血鬼的病弱美。剧情挺俗套的，想不通自幼的伙伴为什么会突然性情大转变，他咋不会操作蝙蝠呢？彩蛋挺没意思的， 没有想看的欲望。
突然就杀掉兄弟了
男主自嗨式流水账电影
我已经忘了上次在美帝电影里学到新单词shi1啥时候了
盗窃过程拍的太儿戏了，毫无精彩可言，观影效果不如活死人军团
这不是挺好看的的嘛？豆瓣的分真的不能信，期待后续。
莫比斯有点自私，解药研究出来了，却不愿给从小到大的死党、头号赞助人使用。说好了要自杀，最后还把女友变成了吸血鬼
6.0分！一般般的群盗开锁商业片，女黑客身材超级棒，颜值虽然不算顶尖，身材好到爆，我超喜欢她的欧派！
