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.
真相的揭开感觉是强行解释，就像男主弥漫全片的疑惑感，不知道导演想讲什么主题，或者表达什么，这个电影感觉没有可信性，因为所有情节都是靠”巧合”推动。
印度真的有小清新，男主是流氓兔眼睛，看久了有点萌～两星半
这种陷入阴谋的倒霉普通人冒险故事好像也没啥新鲜的，但是这些主角居然都挺能打。
剧情被慢动作拉胯，两个男主每次走出来都是刻意编排，故意做作的表情和动作过火了。
印度也文艺起来了，而且没有丢掉自己的文化特色，还是第一次看到这样的印度电影，感觉是个不小的突破，甚至连尺度也连带上来了一些，单恋和初恋的感觉也表达得不错。男二和老师的颜值身材确实不错（挤橘子那一幕我愿给一个好评），一个禁锢人天性，情感和思想的社会必然导致有志之士的反抗，一个守旧固执的家庭也给自己带来了一对儿女弃家离去的结局，男主和女主作为家庭和社会压迫的两个不同位面以最难堪的方式发现彼此的不堪与伤害，最终也只能在情感与时间的长河里互相救赎与原谅，修女和老师作为两个位面的救赎者又何尝不是悲剧本身，何尝不是偷偷掩藏自己的眼泪…男二是真的渣得可以，最后看他键盘被偷我竟然有一丝喜悦。对于评论区认为这部碰瓷cmbyn的言论我真的很想翻白眼，不过是殊途同归罢了，不幸有千万种，悲剧的内核却万变不离其宗。
女主携带少量装备逃脱，

一个恶人带坏三个人杀了女主闺蜜后被女主顽强反杀
优点是，没有铁血硬汉，没有爽快激斗，只有氛围感十足的异乡追逃，用肃杀的恐怖片拍摄手法呈现一个普通人遭遇生死困境时候的绝望和挣扎，坂本龙一的配乐更是神来之笔，但是整个剧本还是过于粗糙和想当然了，节奏也不好，很多情节处理都有一种毫无必要的冗长，非常可惜。
凯莉的女伴苏菲嘴太碎了，上来嘴臭惹男的简直是在给自己找麻烦。剧情中不合理的情节有点多，我就说两个最基本的，1. 想把苏菲的死设计成摔落悬崖，那乔什为啥要用石头砸脸？就为了把同伴拖下水？但你砸脸和摔死这是完全不一样的，验尸官完全可以验出来；2. 乔什想杀查克灭口，直接一脚踹下去就好了，干嘛用锤子砸头？锤子砸的坑跟摔死差了十万八千里，这要验不出，验尸官就是白痴了，这么干简直是脱裤子放屁多此一举，编导都不想想这样设计合理吗？这样经不起推敲的问题真不少，所以影片无法得到高分不是没原因的。我给3星5.7分，删掉！
【B-】攀岩题材的女性反杀片和密室类型片，虽然入戏比较慢、结尾比较随意、弱化了攀岩过程，但是好在氛围一直在线，剧情一直有合理的事件来推动。
画面色调大量填充了明亮的白色，营造永远是大白天的效果，给观众潜意识里去制造印象恐惧。
我只能说女主真的太牛逼了，打低分这些人看不懂可以不要看，打这么低的分，耽误一个好片。
惊悚逃生片《岩脊求生》虽说剧情上有些地方确实太过刻意了点…但攀岩逃生的戏份还是比较惊险刺激的！抛开有点弱智的剧情的话，看看惊险的攀岩，还有女主的高颜值，此片还是说的过去的…这类型的片子，真的就不要纠结剧情了，你说呢？
太多文学电影元素揉在反而整得整部电影有点四不像了，过度小布尔乔亚不是什么好事。
场面调度人物走位和间歇式配乐都很古典啊，整个风格看去有上世纪欧美黑色电影的味道。但浩大的声势背后竟然是如此的小打小闹，把政治拍成儿戏。或许从车子撞入墙壁的那一刻开始，就是一个美国形象的侵入，这些欧洲国家的政治和运动不过是一场游戏罢了。
🙄 都不够翻的了 剧本里的人物坍塌 情节胡扯 JDW 更是差得不行 开始尬演亲昵戏 中途尬演逃脱戏 最后剧本给了个更差的大使馆白痴死后衬托竟然还能尬演跳车戏 Luca 这种监制真的水货 搬来自己的班底也就弄个四不像 萨永普脱离了阿邦也是什么都不懂一样 p.s. Lena & Eleni 这是在模糊 cue 一下 Ferrante 吗
这种陷入阴谋的倒霉普通人冒险故事好像也没啥新鲜的，但是这些主角居然都挺能打。
虽然并不新颖，但是包含“求知”和“爱欲”的影相总是有其迷人处的，一些符号意向很好，有点消费主义的美感。love is blue。
渣男是真够渣的，但是，爱让人更勇敢了，不是吗？
