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.
有点悲哀。我国战争片拍了几十年了，到现在还都是一个模子，一点点的创新都没有。
画面太空 前7分钟没出现任何人物正脸 我以为导演要憋什么大招 唯一出彩的就是范伟的演技
这导演就不会写故事，更不会讲故事。三星全给服化道摄美录和范伟。还有就是……什么样一个导演会不要脸到挂摄影指导和剪辑指导的credit……服了
这种题材不好拍，太写实就平，夸张了又出戏。

以铁道游击队为主题的抗战片能拍到如此平庸乏味也是很不容易的，看的脑袋昏昏欲睡。影片在为铁道队举行入党仪式中达到高潮，念着那宣誓词，配着响烈激扬的配乐，让我感动的热泪盈眶。真不愧是爱国主义的献礼片，对目标观众的目的达到就行了。这大雪纷飞一刻也没有停过，挺浪费雪的。
影片节奏出现很大的问题，前面太散，后面太赶。人物的扁平化，范伟老师为角色增色，但也掩盖不了背后的单薄。整部影片和铁道的关联似乎不大，只是为了展现一些视觉奇观。
影片画质出色，冷色的色调，偏暗的画面，让空气中弥漫着一股肃杀之气，拍摄手法也非常专业，故事剧情完整，情节跌宕起伏，充满了历史的厚重与质感。范伟老师的演技太绝了，当他饰演的老王被五花大绑押上火车，对着周政杰饰演的石头笑着说道，“臭小子，叫爹。”我的情绪立马就被感染了，眼泪不受控的流了下来，这个片段拍的太有感觉了，一个年逾花甲的老人在生命的最后仍在找寻着亲情的归宿、对自己所做之事的骄傲自豪以及对生死的从容不迫，尽显一个中国人的骨气与尊严。影片根据真实的“铁道队”队员的事迹改编，哪里有压迫哪里就有反抗，只有共产党才能救中国，也只有共产党才能带领人民团结一致，走向胜利。
“德帕尔马式”抗战间谍片，全靠美术摄影撑着。质量比前几年瞎胡闹的闹剧版好多了。
没有想象中那么震撼，高能热血沸腾的桥段太少，好多地方带过的过于简单，所以还是要让专业编剧多校正剧本！开片一个多小时都是平平淡淡，看的都要睡着了，魏晨的角色出来后，稍微进入一点高能，但是还远远不够！唯一出彩的角色还是范伟老师，演的真好，手榴弹炸汉奸是最解气最好看的一个桥段！
想起小时候看的铁道游击队！！！！！很感人！

3.5，这不比《长津湖》好？虽说作为一部谍战片叙事节奏的拖沓松散是个大问题，但不搞那些无组织无纪律的莽冲和人海战术的堆砌，敌人为我军“肃然起敬”的结尾，塑造出有勇有谋的战士形象就已经强的多了，更何况还有范伟影帝级的演技加持，真将一个人心机演绎的淋漓尽致，前期极尽谄媚敌军的程度之入木给人憎恨，为的铺垫后头一颗手雷带来的巨大人格反差，还有其中一只颤巍巍拿烟的手和一挤眉弄眼的微表情直接托出人物内心之妙笔，简直满满的都是戏，谁看完内心不会想说一句范伟老师nb的呢。
大闷片，主旋律电影也不是这样拍的，我宁愿看成龙的铁道飞虎
国产主旋律片越来越丰富了。形象虽然单调了些，但发展下去一定会更加吸引人。
纯情怀续作，故事上把过去的东西加了一些简单的现代创意之后重新讲一遍。对话中有很多编剧的对于华纳这种狗尾续貂行为自嘲，加上基努的疲惫不堪的表演，渴望利用过去的情节来勾起粉丝一丝的感动，但也就这样了。没有了雨果叔的史密斯，再怎么闪回也没了那个味道。
中规中矩的命题作文，最出彩的要算是范伟，其余一切都在意料之中。
智取威虎山的成功与近年红色主旋律在商业市场上的持续升温，并不代表这类项目攒个不错的班底卡司就能值回票价，华谊近年颓势渐显恐怕也和经常踩不到点儿上有关系。铁道游击队的故事其实很适合电影改编，画面感扑面而来，但是本片呈现的效果来说却有些温吞，人物普遍比较脸谱化，剧本又缺乏足够抓人的点，用相声术语来说垫话太多耽误了正活儿，张涵予一如既往的正面英雄人物缺乏起伏变化，倒是范伟老师一如既往的不会让人失望，全片最让人动情的桥段戏份都在其个人魅力的发挥上，让整部片子的可看性抬到了及格线上良好线下的水平。
我完全是因为错误的原因喜欢这个，但导演对华纳和娱乐产业的“明涵”，让我觉得全片有非常符合加速和躺平时代气质，哈哈哈哈哈。
张涵予会不会披上硬汉的外衣就脱不下来了，每次饰演的都是差不多的人物形象，表情也都差不多，有点审美疲劳了。周也也是没什么存在感，护士的职业也没什么太大的意义，就是刚好张涵予受伤倒在她回家的路上，被她捡回家疗伤了。印象深刻的反倒是最后他们集体入党，宣誓的时候在玻璃上画出的党徽。
