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.
剧情还是太简单太理想了，但动画里的世界，就允许他理想一点吧。运镜和动作戏非常加分。
没想到还有点小反转。但是对于出轨的丈夫，这报复还是稍微轻了点啊。喜欢这种填满画面的尺寸。
奈绪可爱一如既往 柄本佑是真的狗！吃饭那段我笑死了！
好久没看到金子大地演这种安静 性格又好的帅哥了，少演点儿搞笑男吧kkkk
emmmm，可能小朋友们看这个阴谋剧情刚刚好？？技术和节奏都还有空间
画面人物，像疯狂原始人那边直接拉过来用的，换了身衣服与背景。。。
故事超级老套，但是海兽真的很像我家喵喵……太可爱了。
感觉完全是驯龙高手的套路，海怪的皮肤堪比坦克。
完成度还不错，小女孩作为导师角色挺新颖的，导致导师比英雄戏份更重。主题挖掘不算深，冒险占据太多部分，没空间施展了，不过对于历史虚伪叙事、男权社会好战本性的触及在动画片里已经足够了。另外提醒我了，动画片里的台词能简约就简约，一句废话也别说。
还不错，挺好看的，画面非常的精美，色彩真的非常鲜艳，看着挺赏心悦目的。各种人物造型上还挺q，剧情上，开头有点像加勒比海盗，但整个故事相对来说还是比较套路的，结尾竟然还是无敌嘴遁，有点让我意外的是，帝王号也太炮灰了，连配角都算不上，简直就是一个龙套！还有就是片尾是不是有点太长了？影片显示两钟头，结尾将近20分钟。其他的还不错，可以看一看。
漫画家的情感复仇，切入点挺有趣但不是我会喜欢的电影题材
三颗星其实有点多，电影还不错，但毫无新意，故事从开始就能猜到结局，所有的情节和人物都在意料之中，我说这是大海版驯龙高手一点都不为过。
倒真是有日本阴郁疑虑的风格。出轨的柄本佑巧妙地衔接了黑木华和吉高由里子hhh
之前看预感以为是悬疑片，没想到是喜剧片（x
红兽=中国，故事书=媒体，闭关洗脑的漂亮族，好像都对得上。不知编剧什么背景，有点反向洗脑的意思了
内核和雪怪大冒险相近，但后者要有趣很多。本片的叙事太普通.工整了。
太低龄了吧，故事没讲明白，全靠一个小朋友莫名其妙就和平了，大人们全是脸谱化的工具人
漫画家用漫画的方式来展开对出轨的丈夫的复仇。最后还给渣男留了一份不错的工作，虽然有点羞辱性质，但实在报复的不够痛快。选角都好合适啊。或者应该说黑木华和柄本佑确实都演的好，奈绪演这种表里不一，皮笑肉不笑的小三简直驾轻就熟啊。
结论就是 小三到底看上废柴哪一点 偏要垃圾堆里挑人 有些铺垫可能只说到一半点到为止 中间配乐有些精彩值得加分 脑洞和现实交汇 所以说 拿的确实是大女主剧本 从此和小奶狗HE
婚外事件竟然将爱情从坟墓中掘起，延续了爱的生命。
