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.
能理解一切不满健听女孩拿奥斯卡BP的声音，毕竟网飞以罗马，爱尔兰人有着极强作者表达的电影在奥斯卡奋战了那么多年去证明流媒体声音，等待学院承认的时刻却被稳扎稳打的类型片健听女孩划上了句号。但观影终究是私人的，对于处在夹缝中生存的那些人们，我能产生极大的共情。电影里的一场冲突戏写得极好，父亲打着手语对母亲说：“她从来就没当过宝宝。”母亲听完后的那一楞饱含着太多太多真实的情感，看似微不足道，实则成为了整个电影剧作中的重要一环。最为出彩的两段则是两场表演，音乐之于聋哑人是种伤痕与剥削，但因为爱与情感，他们选择为其欢呼，在最后父亲与女孩坐在车上，四目相接选择歌唱的时候，其实也是聋哑人与健全人两个世界的和解，自己与生理，过去的种种痛苦的和解。积蓄着这样的力量，在伯里克利的表演才变得理所当然，真实可信。
不争气的看哭了，想到了16岁时默默走出校门的自己，我知道不读书意味着什么，可是当初还是因为家庭而放弃了读书，我比女孩还差劲，因为我连梦想都没有。
如果忘掉它拿了奥斯卡，那我看的是非常愉悦的。
就挺好看的……但也就三星半吧……就这就最佳影片了……？犬之力太太冤了也………
獲不獲獎誰在乎，就是最傳統工整的電影的樣子。多給的一星是給New England的！（Cape Ann到Boston其實也就一小時嘛

6.5/10。重拍了一版《贝利叶一家》，质量比那版好很多但没有了当初看时的惊喜感。大量“听不见”带来的黄色笑话让我梦回青春派的性喜剧年代，发现这个本子很适合中国翻拍啊～哥哥和男友都比原版帅很多。（得了奥斯卡最佳影片后补一条：bye）
还是更喜欢法版，美版虽然更加流畅了，但也更加刻意了，太商业。还有片子里的音乐也还是法版好听。
不过女儿的声线真的好棒！！！爸爸的演技真的可以！！！
不知道说点啥，对这种鸡汤不感冒，不获奖永远不会看。就是那种作为“电影”来说硬件都合格没毛病，就是无法引起情绪上的触动。
音乐会的听障无声片刻、父亲用手搭在女儿脖子上听女儿唱歌、面试唱歌时给父母的手语。
鸡汤片真好看，每个人物、节奏都无比精准、催泪
叙事很传统的励志片，触动点在音乐会上爸爸的无声视角和哥哥的那句“你没出生前，我们这个家都很好”，其他整体还是规矩了些，惊喜不大。
每个人都有权利追逐梦想，尤其是在你非常有天赋的时候。即使你需要思考很多可能阻拦你前行道路的问题，但是，如何突破阻拦才是你真正要思考的事，尤其是在有家人支持的时候，什么困难可能都不会是困难。
看完只想要个神仙老师包分配又包对象（误）～脚本监督都娴熟完美一气呵成 明知现实不是如此 短暂的沉浸在爱与和平里也是好的。（麻省的Gloucester，在波士顿东北方向的一个半岛上）
应该是《贝利叶一家》的翻拍作品，周末早上哭着看完整个人都不好。对命运不屈服，用心倾听，珍惜身边的人，这电影在独居生活的大城市真是莫大的教益。电影里每个角色都很出彩，他爸身材真好简直是海王，他哥也有自己独特的见解，他老师最逗末了还来个彩蛋，为什么他老师出身名校抱着满腹才华会去一个🐟village的村小执教，因为电影里他自己讲自己毕业的那个年头，那年不好。
暖心、疗愈。// Mr. V这样执着于本念的老师是多么可贵、可爱。 // Family, makes one hate them to an extent that one eventually realizes this feeling is actually love. // “I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now, from up and down, and still somehow, it’s cloud illusions I recall, I really don’t know clouds at all.”
3.5 亲吻亭类似的肥皂片凭什么来冲奥？谈内核coda可以，法兰西特派为什么不行？同样的套路套个话题翻来覆去拍，美国青春片真的受够了../隔天又忆起这部电影，情绪稍微委婉下来，认为观影前若以对Coda群体（女主）的角度始发探索，给的分会些许偏差。coda的世界是复杂的，残疾的父母在青春期的孩子面前有多么无力的存在，叛逆的路上就有多大要学会释然和解的挑战。当你站着女孩的角度哀怨其累赘时，电影又慢慢揭开父母的世界，自卑的，无力的，苟且挣扎，却也敢笑敢爱的普通父母——会害怕女儿看不起，不够亲，没能够互相体会而惶恐无措的母亲，是会无声愤怒自豪且极力想爱女儿所爱的父亲。赚取的泪点就是这love from both sides的力量。相反如果只是期待又一部青春电影如何打造新维度，那收获的失望便是必然的。
新颖special的视角！平平淡淡，但是代入父母视角静默听对唱时，看到女儿手语加唱地表演时。。。
影片翻拍自法国电影《贝利叶一家》，Apple TV+光是购买版权就豪掷了2500万美金。《健听女孩》做了很好的本土化改编，加上好听的音乐做催化剂，成为观赏性极佳的心灵鸡汤。
