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.
没有对比就没有伤害，2021年已经有非常接近院线电影的网大了，而同时还有像这样烂俗的网大，就，很丢人啊，不要再搞这种东西了好吧……
很难想象有这种级别的美术水准被导演拍成这种鬼样子……网飞爸爸果然人傻钱多 \ 就算定位是儿童片，我依旧无法接受一个小屁孩的表演举手投足都是一副大叔样，油腻的样子比走ins嘴贱网红风的女巫还讨厌 \ 片中片的artwork非常棒，彩色版早古默片风
剧情确实属于比较老套的，但是网飞超级清晰的画质欣赏法国的美景实在是太棒的享受了，特别是悬崖边的飞车追逐戏，简直是速度和美景的双重享受，还有法国田园风光的航拍，都非常好看。个人最喜欢的还有超市卡丁车的追逐戏，看完非常想尝试但是现实不允许。
算中规中矩的网络电影了，剧情整体还行，梗概还不错。话说韩栋的戏份也太少了点吧，加起来有两分钟没？
恐怖当催眠曲的女巫 吸收仙气的女人？？？一个小保姆 还有一个儿童写手？？？一头雾水
四星鼓励，虽然是小成本的网大，特效画质都很一般 但是剧本还是挺扎实的，故事比较完整 惊悚氛围到位，有点民国版水形物语的感觉，讲述封建迷信下人性善恶以及姐弟亲情的故事值得一看。ps：看到水猴子就想 @小亮
从第一部就觉得挺捧。 没想到第二部也很不错哦。 真的精彩 ，越到后面越紧越入戏。看着看着全家都看起来了😄。 大女主是真勇为敢为。演技炸裂。
不好看，看到一半就觉得浪费时间但强迫症不看完不舒服，看完更觉得浪费时间的那种不好看。可能适合儿童吧。很久没有哪个电影镜头能让我反胃了，这是一部，锅炉里那会。
最后居然看哭了 这个是上海女子图鉴的主角
不要轻易地让别人知道你的弱点，弗吉尼亚真的很坏
猫猫，女巫，恐怖故事。儿童奇幻向一千零一夜。爱好恐怖故事的孤独的孩子，以及可以被有趣的故事催眠的女巫。虽然挺老土而且还有点弱智，但对于喜欢恐怖故事有趣故事的人来讲，这是一个还可以的童话
本来想给四星 可是女主太白莲花加绿茶了 居然背后捅刀我的漂亮女二～这讨厌的性格我直接给三星😂😂导演拍的很不错
好看的！电影前期紧张的氛围渲染的很到位，恐怖氛围拉满，情节发展自然不突兀，最后的结局很感人，女主超级飒！
她的鞋每双都很厚底😂颜真的很🉑
看到中间真以为你们要共同进步奋斗双双得奖顺便谈个恋爱😭凯特你为什么不相信她😭
6.7/10 Ritter怎么不拐我，我愿意永远呆在那
鸡皮疙瘩类型的故事，还颇喜欢的，有种怀旧感……
非常常见的黑白斗嘴警探二人组 为什么宣传片里他们非要打太极呢？
意外还不错 有一点点盖曼风格的儿童奇幻+80s B级片最喜欢的液体浇头
