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.

无论从摄影调度还是内在表达来讲，都是很中国式的。水墨一般的静谧山水，直面残酷的信仰铸成，都有一种很强的张力。
不过，属实太流水账了。
en。。。画面美。。剧情挺无聊。。。为一些任务。五星吧
战争的真实感不是在于枪林弹雨，是缓慢的危险，是草丛中的蛇，是仓皇的逃跑或追逐，是悄无声息倒下的身躯，是给俘虏喂吃的，是在非人般的艰苦条件中选择云霄之上的信仰
开头还行 先听说了是个文艺片 氛围渲染还是不错的 画面一开始就给我强烈的滤镜感 节奏较慢 人物感情给我感觉都很冷淡 本来用方言应该更加亲切 但是听到后面感觉方言配音后毫无感情 黑白的画面和音效看久了总觉得非常空虚 也可以解释成战争后人们的心都很冰冷 也可以说空虚是为了映照片名云霄之上 但是感觉这些音效和画面更适合一些惊悚片 而非一个战争片 所以还是给两星 感觉影片质量是不差的 但是谈不上好
另类的战争片讲述无名之辈的历史故事，诗意和悲怆感共存，忍不住叫绝。
看之前最好补一下相关历史背景和知识，没有字幕的话还是比较晦涩难懂，方言加文言看得我有些痛苦。病秧美人冲田美哭我。
卡司真心不错，画面也还好，不过剧情太过拖沓，太流水。女性角色真的美必要的存在。
节奏太快了，好多剧情一笔带过，战争场面也不够看，期待了这么久的电影…
太无聊的主旋律了，调色煞有介事，一查 果然是美院老师拍的，电影不是做P P T和好看的桌面图啊
制作精美，场面算是宏大，但以两个半小时的长度讲述一部大河剧《新选组》的故事，注定所有的都是浮光掠影，刻画流于表面，没有重点，处处蜻蜓点水的场面。
节奏太快了，好多剧情一笔带过，战争场面也不够看，期待了这么久的电影…
剧情有点薄，美术风格别具一格。男主的表演渐入佳境，但总觉得神似法老，破坏严肃气氛。虽然总体不如预期但第一次在大银幕上听到景宁话还是十分Magic的。
《燃烧吧，剑》——副长行云流水账似的一生。想想司马辽太郎的原作，人生虽短，其中的每一个人人，都活成了一首首隽永的俳句。
全片只使用了黑白红三种颜色，整体氛围感很特别，长镜头和音乐运用凸显了一种阴森恐怖感，给人一种深刻的压迫，这才是战争最真实的一面吧。
这是一场真实的战争，面对赴死的军令，战士们并不是第一时间就认同，而是经过一段时间的迷茫和争执，将人性抉择还原的很真实，特别圈好感。
6.4+0.2，回想起看到预告片的时候，有失望也有满足。导演以土方岁三的视角拍一版幕末新选组流水账。但杀阵的设计颇有亮点，池田屋里的近藤和冲田不再是大杀四方的模样，以少战多的紧张被表演得十分到位。双剑相交的火花，让剑客之间的搏命更具真实感，+0.2给动作指导。
纪念一下我的第一部豆瓣两星电影，白瞎了摄像老师，影片全程都给我一种割裂感，部分演员的演技更是重量级，建议开除音响负责人和动作指导🙏
以小见大，非常有特色的战争片，人人都能如挺进师战士，又有谁敢侵犯我中华呢！
