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.
现代童话, 一个包容一切的母亲（jamie的控诉可能也是真心的)。各种会遇到的问题和家人以及周边的关系都浅尝辄止的点到了。This was me这一段我很喜欢，捯回去看音乐剧原来是新加入的。各有取舍，我都挺喜欢的，毕竟drag算是小众。
有点难想象这种家庭故事在是否在美国的很多家庭中上演

挺好的，没有歌舞，就是最后那个炸弹解除看不懂，按钮没信号割电线就可以？明明炸弹在国会，你把手提箱里的线隔了有啥用？
虽然动不动就唱歌，结局部分也略脑残了，瑕不掩瑜，运镜动作我给满分，请恕我没见过世面，剧情紧张程度也不错，开挂战士贼猛！
73/100。直观上，本片在歌曲与编舞上的吸引度，让《致埃文·汉森》马上变得毫无魅力；话题上，对于LGBT人群中不常出现在影视中的“T”的深度刻画，也比《致埃文·汉森》并不稀奇的青少年危机问题变得没了什么意思；但是在剧情上就跟《致埃文·汉森》半斤八两了，虽然都有一些不那么平庸的点（《致》的善意谎言的建立和戳破、本片中认清“道不同不相为谋”的事实），但整体还是有些没劲甚至不符合电影的定义，而本片更是利用了许多煽情的桥段来扭摆观众情绪，一下子让逼格降了不少。不过对于人物的刻画还是很丰满的，男主和Richard E. Grant自然不必说，但让我印象最深刻的却是Sarah Lancashire，她可能塑造了今年最伟大的母亲形象，而她角色的所作所为，更可以让某个还将“娘炮”视为错误的国家自惭形秽。 @2021-10-12 17:07:04 @2021-12-23 01:22:14
引用片中一句台词：我们被训练成无情的适应性，就要用好它。所以，就有了这一群优秀退伍军人组成的雇佣兵，派到世界各地打砸抢杀，名义上是为了国家安全，其实为了某些人的个人政治利益。克里斯派恩在剧中的表现挺硬汉的。就想知道他的妻儿是否因为他的“牺牲”得到了那400万元？
男主是真他妈帅，皱纹也性感的要命(又是一位年龄越大越性感的类型)。动作戏也都还可以，空乘也好美，没和女科学家搞在一起很好。动作加上sci-fi更好玩了，有点像Jake 2.0
三哥拍动作戏还是有点东西的，但是文戏就算了，毫无共情，而且还安排一些降智剧情和傻子来恶心观众。
还可以哦~帅哥美女~超级未来战警~~~~大场面，不错的片
前面太缓慢了，主题也太旧了，动作场面一般。突袭研究中心那场戏，进玻璃门时有穿帮...
很多细节（包括部分台词）很不错，准确精炼。与之形成鲜明对比的是调动不起来的整体剧情，以及因此不得不从头到尾硬拉紧张气氛、过于有存在感的配乐。
从柏林街头无脑射杀男主开始，情节就一路崩。疫苗那个线索毫无作用，最后都不知道怎么处理的。动作戏份还停留在十几年前，没有大场面，最后决战跟过家家似的，连个能打的都没有。
复盘一下，当初新冠刚出现的时候谁最先站出来说自己有特效药的？有疫苗的？
虽然故事情节很老套（老板欺瞒手下去干脏活，完成任务后还想杀人灭口，结果反被手下复仇），但还算合格的商业动作片，有《谍影重重》的影子，影片影射了部分美国当下的现实。
剧情老套 结局收尾草率 boss战也不激烈
小烂片。首先剧情烂，但帅哥男主还可以救一救，偏偏选了个Chris Pine——我真的全方位360°无死角打咩。
尼娜霍斯也是一枪爆头 戏份太少
=。= 居然有人不知道，美国军队的私人承包商制度，并以此衍生出的一系列私人武装和根本管理不了的混乱么？斯诺登也是私人承包商，WarDog是私人承包商，战争之王里的军火商其实也是。这些承包商干得烂事罄竹难书，作为军工复合体的重要组成部分，同样是权力旋转门的变现渠道。
4.9/10 即便剧本与同类型有极高的重合度, 但若活用题材与设定, 本可完成一本颇具思考价值的剧本。 可惜故事内容过满只得压缩, 可压缩之后故事又欠缺逻辑与条理。 并且本作更为致命的部分, 在于这个故事的深度与复杂度, 使场面不得不让位于叙事。 尽管动作戏观赏性极其优秀, 但简短的时长未能使其掩盖住剧本的不足。 最终以剧本与场面互相牵制的状态, 奉上一部失误满满的影片。
