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.
大家都不会难过」
看过的最棒的疫情题材的法语片了，隔离之下，有争吵，有疯狂，有猜忌，但一样也有温情…on naît, on vit et on meurt这就是生活…
片中警察说，隔离已令人变得神经兮兮。影片前半部分搞笑，后半部分逐渐走心。对于正处在全员居家隔离的人来说，十分应景。
这是我看过第一部讲述关于新冠疫情的电影，看着电影里居家隔离的邻居们因为疫情从彼此陌生到相互熟络，从彼此猜忌到相互理解，不由得感叹疫情带走了很多，但似乎也留下了一些东西，法国人用他们特有的法式幽默，展现了他们面对疫情时的乐观态度以及种种看法。看到他们不戴口罩的时候，我不禁替他们捏了把汗。疫情无情人有情，比病毒更可怕的，是人们的无知和冷漠，愿逝者安息，生者坚强。
疫情期间法国抗疫众生相缩影，艺术加工后变得温馨快乐
游戏场面热血，构思巧妙，现实故事虽然剧情老套，还好表演剪辑摄影细节说得过去，不觉得烦闷。青岛人表示看见流亭机场有些念旧。
WFH一個月了，看到最後，突然斷網。
基本没有拖泥带水的地方，该温情的地方绝对赚泪，该激烈的游戏场面，也三秒就沸腾！可以说整部影片看下来，真实感足足的，贴近普通人的生活，吃鸡玩家非常有共鸣。
很真实很简单有点搞笑结局又很感动！致敬团结一致的人们！
注重细节，在取景方面也格外的用心，父子俩被迫赶出家门，留宿海洋馆时，淡蓝色的光晕打在二人的身上，虽然有些落魄，但更多让人感到的是真实的温情，有时观众不需要多么完美的特技或者感情渲染，平平淡淡散发出来光芒才是最暖人心的
小朋友演得不错，挺可爱！故事有些老套，看了开头基本能想到结尾，节奏也有些问题。不过网大能拍出这么一部动感十足的游戏电影，还是值得鼓励的。这电影比较适合00后的口味，游戏与电脑场景制作得不错，真实生活与虚拟空间交错，还是挺好玩的。
用法式幽默和浪漫再现了隔离初期法国人的日常，让我想起了那段有点恐慌有点不安不过心理还算平静的去年春天。埃菲尔铁塔亮起的Merci，每晚八点阳台上的欢呼声和掌声，出门一趟全副武装，安静得看不到几辆车的马路…人类在面对流行性疾病的挑战时或许开始总是不知所措，但好在还有希望还有团结，还有爱。A l’humanité solidaire.
最高分的网大了吧 这俩导演以后拍院线片要火 ACDC《big gun》
其实很多事情都跟玩游戏一样，做成功了就名利双收，被人称为牛逼，失败了什么也不是，还会领个傻逼的称号。
C’est important de rester vivant, mais c’est encore mieux de rester humain.
既然要做到以情动人，麻烦将感情线做扎实，父子情靠完美小孩来推动，降低了可信度。这种电影像游戏一样虚幻，爽过之后，依旧要面对一地鸡毛的人生。
不玩吃鸡，但是拍的确实不错，在国产片里算好的了。7分吧，就是最后学区房涨价，是羞辱全体劳动人民吗？控制比赛被依法惩处，控制房价的人呢？
父子俩被房东赶出家门，儿子再彷徨手里也牢牢握住爸爸的奖杯，感受了这孩子对于父亲能够再次成功的渴望。最后肖汉赢得的不只是比赛，更是向肖太阳证明了他心中的超级英雄一直都那么棒。
拿游戏动漫拍IP的快学，不怕剧情中规中矩，把特色部分的刀刃打磨好，我特别有沉浸感的是真人还原游戏场景中的演员动作，有机械感的拿东西、趴下转向、切车位、被击中后在地上爬，都是非常还原细节的，空投、手雷、平底锅梗也都有，编导钻研足够，热爱拍的这个游戏，感觉有玩这种游戏都会被诚意打动。其余情感部分就是老老实实不出错也挺好。也有很感触的台词，男主说打游戏是因为公平，输了重开一局，赢了可以暂时忘掉烦恼，但那些烦恼很快就会回来，所以你就不停地再打一局，再打一局……游戏不遵循现实法则又给人精神寄托，但确实无法解决现实的事，热衷游戏的人可能都会在某个时刻因此失落。
原来法国人被隔离也跟我们一样，有直播，有的特别怕，有的不在乎，有的逃离，有的为了抗疫付出很多，只是他们显得更民主一些。结局很温馨，但现实中有点难。
