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.
历史上黑人在那个时期要敢这么玩,全得被逮起来吊上晒成干……
这样子说好了,你就是打着游戏跟别人聊着天,偶尔看一眼,你都不会错过啥。等你回过神再回头看一下,噢,没啥呀。。。嗯,就是这样子的。
怎么这片几天变一个译名啊,前几天还是叫野心难拒呢
太TM难看了 这么好的漫威ip被索尼拍成这样 真毁ip圈钱
历史上黑人在那个时期要敢这么玩,全得被逮起来吊上晒成干……
我要是男主,和莱德谈了十个月恋爱我就去自杀
西部片也沦陷了
剧情中的角色,肤色换成一帮脏兮兮的白人,这个故事会显得合理一点。
三分给配乐和为数不多的枪战场面。一部西部片,表演浮夸也就算了,偏偏台词非常啰嗦,搞得像舞台剧一样。
和舍友看的
闯荡好莱坞的小花哪个不得经历青春片的洗礼。她才20岁,一切才刚刚开始。况且就算片子本身平庸,个人表演上也没掉链子,这个年纪的正常水平和必要过渡罢了。评论区劝人走独立电影路子多接文艺片的也是好笑,饭到你们家吃?
太空洞了,媲美国内无脑爱情剧,这片子连导演都不敢露面,什么情况?
强行制造一个反派,勉强的爱情故事,连CG都能穿帮,这个是不是最难看的漫威电影了。
10.6 Edinburgh film house. LFF #1 开幕片。网飞级调色,近年来流行的娱乐性暴力美学,作为娱乐片还可以,但是正脸大特写好多啊。配乐可以。
有一句台词好喜欢:
有意思!哈哈哈
多一颗星给娜塔莉,太美了😍但男女主角没有火花,不搭。整个片子很青春,歌也很好听。甜甜甜
还是第一次看美国黑人西部片……看了下导演……一言难尽不敢恭维……
5.0分!前半部分还可以的,艾迪与毒液相互吐槽,嘴炮不停,但后半部分彻底垮掉,高潮部分动作场面都有些平庸,最后彩蛋把毒液乱入漫威宇宙了,可以期待一下;
然后剧情就开始松散了,太多无关紧要的情节,这部电影其实可以缩短到一个半小时。
