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.
卞约汉真不错啊。
类型: 动作 / 历史
可以打7分左右，因为武打部分打四星，非常精彩，剧情如果打磨打磨就更好了，网络电影里属上乘
题材选的不错，可惜整体做得毫无惊喜。男主长得好像张国荣
你们韩国高空抛物不犯罪是吧，还往下扔空调。
这样的电影只有网络电影可以审查通过，这是中国电影的悲剧
这画风是我喜欢的风格，动作也够凌厉！！谢苗早应该拍这样的动作片了………这作品值得推荐！！！！
还不错，武打多但不够精彩，可以删减，剧情略单薄了些，可以再多层次点
导演: 张哲
一旦上钩，成功率80%
挺好看 但是麻烦您不要抹黑你中国爸爸please
其实是冲着金武烈来看的，金武烈发挥得中规中矩，演得人物有点变态哈哈。
本质上是武侠片/功夫片，只不过加了一个具体的历史情境，比一般网大制作讲究，但比徐克黄飞鸿系列的观赏性和思想性还是差好几个level，尤其是最后又是暴打西洋大力士，能不能换点别的？
为妻报仇，千里追凶
一分给场面调度，一分给反派，一分给摄影。最出戏的部分就是瞎几把描写我们的警察，冲上去就拿甩棍打诈骗分子，这动作和韩国动作片里的警察一mu一样
挺好的看的比较有意义，电信诈骗的题材 不错不错
蛮好的，武打动作看得过瘾，情节紧凑，演技不拉垮，值得一看
网大的中上水准，剧本没能把林和华两部分做一个比较好的融合，观感上总是在正剧和武侠之间反复横跳，很难入戏。动作设计有点浮，有时候扎实，有时候轻飘飘，相对来说更喜欢东北警察的整体性。
这算是小谢演的这么多片子里略微好一些的，可能是题材成熟，投资和演员班底都跟得上一些～只是编剧仍旧短板，结尾有点莫名其妙的安排了～姚橹演坏蛋多了，怎么都不太像正气凛然林则徐，老觉得他会卖官贪腐，气质问题～杜玉明对打谢苗，还是有些可看的～可能谢苗想学当年的劳模刘德华，大量拍片堆积磨练，总有出头的一天～
这个片名为啥不直接翻译成电话诈骗，惊魂听着以为恐怖，实则犯罪片，只是打斗场面也不够惊魂。天天diss中国看习惯了，经费不够吧也不审查下文化背景。不过看韩影，好的是演员演技能打，中坚力量小角色演员都出色，中国的casting导演制片人就知道挑流量。
