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.
歧视女性、操弄舆论，印度社会的问题很多，但至少法律还是管用的。
我看到了一个评论，简单的说就是韩国在描述人性，日本在描述小人物的日常，印度在描述他们种姓制度下的一个奇特环境，而我们呢？？？

前一个半小时不懂为啥8.6，后一个半小时这8.6打的值👏🏻
还有端起酒杯时 或真或假的风流往事。
中年人的爱情戏最好看。
其实只值七分多一点，各种反转突兀且套路，音乐和慢镜头毫无增色，同题材的沉默的真相各方面都比它丰满太多。但真的希望这样的题材能多在大陆看到
全程无感，惊讶于一片叫好声。跟上海文化始终有点隔阂，也的确不欣赏这样的电影，像那种听来的别人的故事，停在表面，没有纵深。
"我们都是傀儡 在这个世界上"
影片想要表达的东西很多，强奸、种姓制度、权力政治、官僚贪腐、高校压榨、舆论操纵……关键是这样多元深刻的主题能够被编剧巧妙地用故事串联起来，虽复杂却不至于强硬。当然更佩服的还是印度人民如何将片子搬上大银幕。三层反转，有了法律意识我就意识到了结局肯定有反转。
总体还行，看完感觉看了个开头的意思，8.6有些过了
如同影片拍摄外景地的房产中介广告里优先推荐的二手房租赁图文信息
“因为你的沉默就是他们的通行权”看前面就想道我们的唐山事件，面对不公总有人选择站出来
做烂片不难，但要烂到这种程度其实是有相当难度的，你要同时做到：没有一处逻辑不弱智，没有一个情节推动的人物动机立得住，没有一个人性有立体性，没有一段表演不像过家家，没有一个社会议题的讨论不像是在强奸人类智商，没有一段法庭戏不让人发笑，没有一个参与庭审的角色哪怕装出来受过基本法律教育的样子（一法律专业的瓣友说欧美法系国家小学生模拟法庭都都比电影里这个专业一百倍），没有一次反转不让人尴尬的想把脑浆子掏出来甩墙上....至于节奏、配乐、转场、剪辑，我都懒得骂了。所以这部电影唯一的现实意义，就是通过它低劣的品质（感觉侮辱了低劣两个字）与高分好评的对比，折射出中印两国主流人群的心智低幼状态已经到了骇人听闻的地步，事实上已经基本阻止了社会进步的任何可能。
轻巧但不轻佻，浓厚又不沉重，玩形式也不让人跳戏，这里藏一点文艺的小梗，那里再玩一点戏中戏，快到矫情的禁区线时，就安排角色先自我解嘲，把开始变重的东西消解掉了，劲儿很巧妙。导演看起来没有负担，不背负，不隆重，反而让观众也一起松弛下来。这一年里，院线电影实在让人提不起兴致，年底这一部小小的，轻轻的东西倒是一点点惊喜。
印度电影人已经意识到，以种姓制度作为内核，可以包装出各种各样有力量的电影，很容易得到全球观众的认可，本片亦是如此。导演在故事讲述的方式上很下功夫，先将案子抛出抓住观众，随着男主角在影片过半时登场，抽丝剥茧，真相一层层被剖开，几次反转合情合理，每个人心中都有一份正义，很热血，很励志。问题在于，故事讲的太满，越是宏大叙事越应该留白，留一些观众思考的空间，太满了反而显得炫技了，破坏了观影感。“一个国家的尊严，就等同于它给女性的尊严”，为这句话加多一颗星。
以为又是一个普通的为强奸受害者申冤的故事，没想到还能有这么多反转，律师在法庭上的一次次发问简直振聋发聩，直接将故事升华了。缺点就是警长态度变化太快，那个议员脑子进水了才会去伤害他儿子，直接让他叛变。
国产电影里难得有如此开明的爱情观：轻盈、自在，成年人之间的爱情同样好“嗑”。上海话温柔好听，烟火气十足。“白老师”徐峥、“老乌”周野芒、“小皮匠”宁理组成上海男人群像，多才细腻、精致细心，宁理老师每次出场都仿佛阿拉丁神灯那样的爱情精灵，只不过召唤他不是擦灯，而是擦鞋，修鞋、丢鞋、不让赔鞋几场戏 每句台词都让人回味无穷。上海这座城市在编剧导演邵艺辉镜头里，不再是那种脱离现实的昂贵与华丽，而是结尾白老师在小院里支张桌子请朋友们吃晚饭也要铺上桌布，放上桌花的仪式感。同样喜欢老乌的结局，太浪漫了！不管几岁，爱情万岁！
挺有意思的，讲了很多印度🇮🇳社会问题，反转也蛮精彩的。近来看的最有意思的电影。
徐峥的角色简直是失意中年男人yy的天花板：有钱有房有技能、离婚但是他没犯错、儿子高高帅帅、生活小有情调、什么都会一点、做的一手好菜、能耐心照顾孩子发福但是没脱发、三个女人都喜欢他，一夜情一波接一波，这哪里是讨论中年人的爱情，简直就是爽文模板。跟人滚完床单还一副委屈巴巴的样子，总让人觉得像个完美受害者。
