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.
“他如果不交代，我就要来硬的！”……荒原狼搞得笑场好几次，嘴炮类boss典范，攻心二流，战斗力三流。
再版加长也改变不了其烂的本质，对白僵，剧情僵，人物刻画僵，打斗僵，总之是从头僵到尾，每个人都是一脸屌样，片子再烂帅就对了，英雄组团的意义在于即将到来的危机足够大，需要集结起来抵抗，这也是片头蝙蝠侠的初衷，几个主角聚齐之后一个劲地吹捧超人，没他不行，影片过分强化超人与其他成员的实力差距，超人复活1打4，超人归来反派扑街，神女海王只有补刀的份，不禁想问组成这个联盟的意义在哪，其他人都要倚仗超人那跟普通民众有什么区别，钢骨他爸死得莫名其妙，蝙蝠侠一点没体现出智囊的人设，最后还用起了枪.....还是重温下14年的正义联盟战争抢救抢救吧，心脏不好
【C－】四小时的电影时长本质就是作弊，因为任何导演在这个时长下都能把故事讲得清清楚楚，甚至在如此时长下反而会让影片塞入更多无意义的臃肿桥段，而这部《正联扎剪》便是最具代表的反面案例。无论文戏还是武戏，永远都是慢镜头在肆虐横行。扎克放弃华纳所给的导演费用，换来了对导剪版的完整掌控权，以全力展现他对《正义联盟》的艺术构想，说的难听点，他可以全方面喷泄自己的电影品味，让慢镜头彻底化作强奸影像。可能扎克自己也知道，这是最后一次指导超英大片的机会，于是便将一切构想全盘塞入影片，无用的故事细节和灾难的慢镜头实在太多太多，实质仍是空洞无比。唯一有价值的片段仍是最终大战，尤其是闪电侠逆转战局，特效的完成度与想象力值得肯定，但也仅限于此。到这个份上也别互相甩锅了，扎克、华纳与尾灯，全是啥暖。
It's what it is. An unabridged but also unnecessary version with too much redundant detail.
鱼人问蝙蝠你爱过谁时，他沉默的片刻我都幻听了，“超人……不，小丑。”
感觉在看“our planet”，画面美美的动作慢慢的。蝙蝠侠这么没朋友的人居然要当精神领袖，闪电侠人肉发电机苦力好可怜啊，海王到底有个毛线用，媚拉的头发在阴间滤镜里不红了，郑恺戏份不重要但总是出现在你面前。
虽然超英和反派都越来越同质化——不是部落之王就是异星骇客🤔，各种特长也几乎被耗尽了，但还是热血沸腾了一下，还对Victor好感度大翻一番。荒原狼比小号灭霸有血有肉。唯一想吐槽的就是小丑，太弱了弱爆了什么有气无力的弱鸡发言啊！！！
不得不说这次DC成功不容否定，复联和扎导版正联完全平起平坐，用不同手法展现了超英团体教科书式电影，但就算这样不知道未来DC电影何去何从，不知道我们还能不能看到扎克施耐德指导的正联2
For Autumn.
确实比院线版好多了，但这分也太虚高了，远远比不上导剪版守望者，还是一部粉丝向电影。
也就结尾和一些角色有出入，九成主干和公映版一毛一样。渣导退圈吧，真的不想再看到你了
就这？说好90%不同呢？这不就是个开卷重考
太好看了！这才是该有的正义联盟，剧情完整，场面宏大，全场最佳非闪电侠莫属，DC宇宙开了个好头，17版那是个什么鬼东西
如果有的话，请给我6个小时的剪辑版。所以之前那部存在的意义是什么，它是怎么做到毁掉每一个人的高光时刻的。
看完扎导版《正联》，我笑了，因为扎导让我看到了正联该有的样子。
很抱歉我忍不住看了leak版，扎导的作品仍然把我感动的像个傻子，我爱D C
7.我爱这部电影，满分是五分，我愿意为了自己的私心再多给一分。
毫无疑问，相比院线版，这是一次全方位进化
又草草看了尾灯版的，扎导剪辑剧情还是差蛮大的，最讨厌的闪电侠摸胸也删了，团队的作用也增强了，整体色调更阴郁（特别最后超人的披风）
比院线版好一点但并无质的提升。反派塑造依旧薄弱，前半段不同角色段落展示毫无剧情递进关系。扎克·施耐德肆无忌惮炫耀慢镜头+配乐重复运用完全是MV式拍摄手法，如果只是两小时的电影可能无伤大雅，可怕的是这个电影有足足四小时，导致最终只能逼迫观众选择快进倍速。
