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.
罗伯特帕丁森扮丑有点秃然 哥谭黑暗破败风格很还原漫画 蝙蝠侠重新塑造了大侦探形象 变黑人的角色较多略政治正确但也可以接受 故事60%以上的部分直接照搬telltale版游戏 猫女的感情线塑造还行 有点乐子
某馆这修复的啥，且不说黑白电影转彩色就是对黑白电影的不尊重，你这把还没修复完的残次品放出来是什么意思。一星给孙道临。
如倒悬的蝙蝠一般冲出火海步步逼近、目送镜中的尾灯消失在道路尽头的迷雾…让人印象深刻的镜头真的太多了。这可能不是最好的蝙蝠侠，但却是最像艺术品的超英。
热知识：DC=Detective Comics
请称呼我最可爱的人布鲁斯韦恩
啊怎么办，我也想看萝卜下海啊啊啊啊啊！！！🤡
也是发生在上海的故事，没怎么给孙道临施展演技的空间
女主成长线，男主事业线都不错。叙事节奏明快，结尾运用蒙太奇手法很巧妙。521看红色电影真有你的
很电影，但很不容易看。带着看一部轻松超级英雄电影的心情，结果看了一部沉重的文艺犯罪片。很黑，很重。
暗红血色，潮湿糜烂，颓废帅气，很好看！总之给爷涨分！！！
吹五方史上最迷人蝙蝠侠就有点过了吧？全程看得到几分钟他的脸？整个节奏太慢了，砍掉半小时观感会好很多，和猫女的情感线真是没必要。
＃新蝙蝠侠
怀念孙道临~~~~
黑白转彩色4K修复@同一个东西前后色调不一致，白色总看上去灰不拉几。所以这样子的彩色修复值得商榷。不过这一次看完反倒流泪了。
应该是最近看过最气人的片子了，甚至比永恒族差。剪辑乱用，镜头杂乱无章。最难看的打斗，毫无冲击感，复仇者联盟都比他好；车战学一下柯南伯格好嘛；多处运镜毫无美感，请导演多看看film noir，营造恐怖气氛请麻烦学学大卫林奇，黑泽清；一直念叨的恐惧恐惧，嫩牛五方一副瘾君子的样子恐惧个屁。灯光倒是有模有样，但剪辑打断了氛围营造。至于文本，在一堆缺点衬托下，甚至感觉有点安慰。还有一堆槽点，根本说不完。好莱坞工业休矣。
镜头和音乐挺不错的，黑暗的哥谭、病态的蝙蝠侠，都很有特色，就是故事有点沉闷了
哥谭的黑色基调铁打不变，故事上能看到有做出“新”设定，没有按常规套路走的叙事，不无敌时显脆弱的韦恩，不圣人各存问题的父母，对抗谜语人全程被线索牵着走，又在最后高举信号弹拯救市民化身哥谭希望之“神”，从“去神化”到“象征化”，有自我成长的意味。五方版蝙蝠侠可以看，忧郁内敛感拉满，时长其实能压缩短些。
李白同志，您期盼的黎明，到了！
三个小时的时长确实劝退了很大一部分观众，因为它并不是那种依靠特效爆米花来轰炸你的视觉感觉的电影，而是缓缓讲述一个蝙蝠侠探案的故事，并在其中探寻蝙蝠侠自身的家族认同、自我认识的问题，但画面确实太暗了加上缓慢的节奏，让人有点打瞌睡……
在看的时候脑子一直在想这部电影的小作文，从蝙蝠侠故事式的悬疑到如今这个时代下超级英雄的可能性，蝙蝠侠与布鲁斯韦恩的割裂，以及蝙蝠侠的成长。但看到第三幕的蝙蝠侠跃入水中的那一瞬间，感觉前面想的那些评价与思考都无所谓了，在第一人称旁白出现时更加确立了我那一瞬间的想法，这就是我想看的蝙蝠侠电影，也是我想看的超级英雄电影，黑暗与复仇已经抛之脑后，超级英雄的意义还是带给人光明与希望。
