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.
就是说朱一龙和贾玲……太尬了，类似不能理解的情节还有不少。最大的问题还是配音用力过猛，配乐也过于努力了。
剧本本身一般，但反杀段落和配角设置还是有些新意的。
演职人员一个不认识颇惊喜的小成本片。鱿鱼游戏姐妹组织么啧啧
哭是哭了，笑也笑了，但是真的好无聊……剧情稀碎……
有点恐怖的。真的。我觉得还是值得一看的。弱势群体本来就应该站在一起，而不是为恶助力。
5/10。以交友软件介入故事，Noa为了获取Steve的信任而选择吃人肉，以及Steve对Noa病态的爱，主创团队显然不只想做一部单纯的惊悚片，可惜仍旧没玩出什么花样，更谈不上深刻。此外，许多角色可有可无，比如Ann、Penny，以及Paul，Steve口中的亿万富翁们也没有在电影中发挥作用。
所以，人变态到一定程度就会吃人，而且觉得美味；
食人魔里最恋爱脑的，恋爱脑里最会吃的。表面上看反抗有力讽刺十足，实则唯唯诺诺连女性选角都得兼顾三种肤色，碰瓷也麻烦走点心
平庸乃至无聊，后半小时勉强拯救回来一点，但不够
好看！！很有意思的现代寓言故事。如果你遇到一个特别完美又非常爱你的陌生人，那他肯定图谋不轨——吸烟刻肺。
想看的东西都没有，有点裤子都脱了给我演喜剧的还逗不笑我的感觉。
Normal people的女主，winter soldier，懂？这电影有点一言难尽，好像想吓人又好像想搞笑，尤其最后bartender溜走的对白噗。每次看到这种电影都不寒而栗，以前我这么逍遥自在地旅行，却从没有想到有一天我或许就被抓走卖了或者分尸。女生在外面真的不要随便吃陌生人给的东西
感人的是真实，不是片子。导演不太会煽情，倒是压迫感很会拍，开头看得我头皮发麻
不懂为什么有这么多感情线，这种改编是对抗疫的不尊重，还有能不能好好戴口罩啊
很fresh的观感，联想到2000年代的一些电影。最后的部分可以更好。Daisy 真的好好看。Sebastian 终于接到好剧本！
前半小时可以全部删掉，剧情也没啥新意，尺度也一般，不值得浪费时间
有谁会拒绝塞包要电话号码呢？看开头知结尾，不过中期后期几个镜头，尤其食人那段确实会引起生理不适，高潮戏撕巴在一起看的还是很有意思的。就是这个套路有点俗气。
帅哥可能会吃了你。可以和《支离破碎》对着看。有钱老头吃女孩，联想到《逃出绝命镇》。太拖沓了，控制在90分钟以内还行。
太适合作为周五晚上的freaky film，虽然是cult片主题的最保守拍法，“食物”镜头是预置语境让观众产生反胃感，但也能收获到愉悦而不用动脑的快感，只有女性被端上餐桌（因为市场需求和“美味”），男性却不是任何拯救者的角色（就连黑人酒吧也在一声枪响后落荒而逃），Daisy演的真好，跳出剧本发挥出魅力。
结尾真的是绝了😂，一言难尽。完全没有解释为什么？唯一忠告大概就是不要恋爱脑
