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.
其实要单看的话这一部还行，但要放在《哆啦A梦》这个系列里就比较失败了。和以往对老版的改编方式如出一辙，在剧情的整体框架内进行改动，对比之下有利有弊。原版弱化了巴比和人民大众的作用，新版则加强了不少，这方面是我觉得改动较好的地方；但是新版对原版的诸多改编导致原本的笑点、剧情的合理性、甚至反派的智商都被削弱了不少，而原版对许多经典电影的致敬，在当中所表达对电影的无限热爱，在新版中基本全无，这是我觉得最可惜的地方。不过还能在影院里看到手绘的机器还是很感动的
如果把电影看作是一篇作文的话，导演已经跑题了。
【276/166】电影整体看完给我的第一个感觉剧情和电影名字不配套（也许是我没理解到深层含义😂）虽然有些部分能知道接下来发生的是啥，但每一位演员的演技都是很到位的🐮很好滴把小人物的悲哀与大人物的“傲”展现在荧幕之上。虽然“有的孩子是孩子，有的孩子不是普通的孩子”，但这并不应该成为黑暗权势一手遮天的手段。毕竟有些林日朗似的家长可以为了自己的孩子做出一些自己都无法预估的事情。也许最难受的是那些“中间的”官员们，他们正如电影里说警局高层无奈滴说出的那句“越往高处走，能掌控的东西就越少”。事实可不就是这样嘛…………
感觉国产的这种片子的后四分之一都是各种找补为了过审。
剧情就禁不起推敲，但肖央的感情很真挚。其他人物角色就跟玩似的，围观群众的人物群像刻画也挺刻意的但有时候真的这样，喊打喊杀的是你们，10分钟后喊英雄欢呼的还是你们
平庸，与误杀1相比过于平庸，不管是选角还是剧情，都是公式一样的套路，煽情也过于刻意。
怪不得要在泰国拍，这电影在中国拍能上映吗？后面几个反转，确实没想到，每个人物都在自己的功能。这部续集很容易提高了期待感，和第一部没有任何故事上的延续，但是说的确实是电影名字面上的意思。估计叫误杀之叉叉叉也行。
看完第一感受：误杀一的好，也许真的是偶然。
剧情推演太潦草，全是bug，配角们的行为也很反人性，不让人信服，中途一度觉得有些崩坏。好在结局拉回来了不少，表达和概念都算清晰。属于提前弄清楚想表达的是什么，类型风格很清楚，但打磨得还不够的作品。
节奏不错，但跟误杀没啥关系。每个人都心知肚明的道理，普通人能活下去就是奇迹。
精神get到了，故事讲得好像蹩脚，台词也有点尬。。所以“误杀”了谁？
每次看哆啦A梦都因为太过美好而想哭，有哆啦A梦陪着长大真是太好了！唯一需要吐槽的是小夫你穿着绿衣服开着绿坦克是怎么拍绿幕电影的啊hhhhh！
最后这个结局没有任何美感，人性希望的破灭，没有奇迹临幸，只有死才能换回本应得到的尊严。
全片120分钟 90分钟以上在煽情
补充下：
情感铺垫不够自然，太多为了巧合而巧合的设计，肖央的表现稍微加分一点。
什么误杀啊简直你泥马的诈骗！！！自己前作热度都蹭！！
2】各种模仿的大杂烩：背景音参杂了美剧《黄石》 片头模仿007警察从天花板上掉入现场，别和我说都是为了致敬经典啊！
这个没天赋又爱装逼的陈思诚，真的是我国电影界的毒瘤。除了魔改和乱入，就是一股脑的骗钱。
改编自美国电影《迫在眉梢》。
