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.
"正发生”这个片名起得很加分 要是制定和子宫相关教条法典的人也大都长着子宫 那绝不会到了公元2022年还有十几亿人可能会在巨大的生理痛苦和心理折磨下因为拿掉了自己体内一个胚胎而被关进大牢
恐怖片有几种境界：最差的是香港东南亚糊弄小孩的鬼片，其次是欧美一惊一乍的血浆片，更高明的是日韩的心理恐怖。而本片是恐怖片的最高境界，因为它所营造的恐怖不是源于虚构，而是来自真实，一直在重现的真实。7
7.1/10 ago, agis, agit, agimus, agilis, agunt 浅焦与近方形画幅模糊了时间属性，维系未来的脐带被剪断，共感的疼痛属于每一个当下；作奋勇状，用进行时的鼓点，奏响那时态的咏叹
泪流满面，太痛了，只有女性能懂的痛，只有女性会得的病。
情绪电影，不同于《四月三周两天》直指国家和男权，《正发生》注重临场感，让观众与女主一起感受到切肤之痛。过去，现在，未来，正发生。
没有什么比最近看完“堕胎三部曲”更应景的事儿了。如果身体都不是自己的，那还有什么是自己的呢？
7。还是差了口气，无论是题材，还是摄影，都没有新意，唯一让人眼前一亮的是女主的表演。
3.5 好想知道被刪減的那五分鐘內容。「一種只會攻擊女人的病，一種會讓女人成為家庭主婦的病。」
《四月三周两天》《从不，很少，有时，总是》《忍者宝宝》还有《正发生》的反堕胎法案
没有想到回忆录改编尽然可以拍的像青春thriller
7.6/很多面部特写，这层铺垫以致后面DIY和第一次堕胎两场戏聚焦的面部都让人心里有种生理上的共鸣。在毅然决然下，恍惚中那声“自然流产”让人终于平静。
要不是这片我都不知道第三共和国立法禁止堕胎和避孕，直到60年代末才解禁，本片故事应当是发生在解禁前夜。视听年代气氛足，年轻演员表演到位，但故事层面只是一部直给的口号电影，细节不连贯，除了表现痛感的场景，关键情节都靠转场划过，人物很多选择缺乏逻辑基础，我觉得是因为人物传记做得不精。《四月三周两天》比本片成功在于没有逃避联系上下文推演的关键情节。女主眼睛像蓝宝石，很适合这个角色。Louise Chevillotte懂电影会挑戏。本片明显比《钛》更适合奥斯卡，我只能解释为这是对奥斯卡的抗议。片名L'Événement我只会翻译成“事件”，不知英语翻译成Happening是否主创本意，是的话则有蹭话题之嫌。
结合最近新闻，感觉同一片天空下，女性的一切都不属于自己，而男性却可以在法律之外，轻松自在。这部电影可以成为推广性教育科普的影片，而不是成为一部禁片。当然一些男性只会批评影片拍的如何不精致，重点永远不会放在女性本身。
有《四月两周三天》珠玉在前，这一题材很难再超越。这部能拿金狮自然也有它独到的地方，4:3的景别下容纳不了第二个人，心理生理所承受的巨大痛苦没有人能够分担，只有在这狭小的画框内独自承受。大量的中近景镜头更是将女主挤压得透不过气来，仿佛肚中那个急于赴死的生命。两者最为接近的时候是海中游泳一幕，海水似乎要淹没银幕，犹如浸满羊水的子宫。大量身体的展示是为了让观众最大程度的“触摸”到女主的身体，以便在关键时刻体会到最大的痛感，这一点上倒是与《钛》尤为相似。

克制隐忍的现实主义力作 浅焦的运用得当
#SiskelTheater 跟姐妹一起看, 她哭的稀里哗啦不能自己。不能为自己身体做主的痛苦, 男性永远无法体会。做同样的事情, 女性就要因为运气不佳而承受额外的痛苦, 也正因如此, 得到的机会才会倍加珍惜。
一种女人才会得的人造疾病 每天都上演的body horror半个多世纪后我还能看见每天流向union square的人群 ing ing 他们千方百计地抑制你成长为想要成为的人 期望世界上的每一个anne都能够不疼痛 自由写作
疼。不单单是视觉维度通过画面传导的“共情”的疼，还有由影像调拨其他感官所造成的拟态的疼。三场戏中，这种钻心的疼痛感不断从边缘推移至中心，由掩盖着的表情-声音描述到最后的直视血腥，紧张与不安逐渐被幽暗的环境、糟糕的基调挤向高潮，再于最后的一片白幕中被瓦解。可悲的是，虽然是那个时候「正发生」的痛苦，在如今这个渣滓泛滥的年代，我们也无法不怀疑它不会「再发生」，甚至愈演愈烈。
60年代、女性堕胎、第二性
