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.
渣东是真的没有下一部了吧。哎，看到star的时候突然咯噔了一下，还有在心里默默想起了哈鲁马～
实在不知道这部闹剧是怎么演了这么多部的。麻酱残得好厉害……
犹豫了半天 还是下不去4星的手 虽然摒弃执念 接受新生活的主题表达还是相当戳我的 但这又一部像极了这几年的皮克斯——无比工整 但也毫无新意 我已经快忘记我爱着的那个皮克斯是什么样子了
67，中规中矩，目前四部剧场版印象最深的是公主篇。
首先是《玩具》世界观里，上世纪的一部老电影。《光年正传》显然被赋予重任，旨在打造经典电影，可惜未能如愿，交的这份答卷实在差强人意。皮克斯灵魂招牌的人物故事情感全部丢失，只剩下迪士尼的庸俗套路。★★★/6.6

没想到最初的欺诈对象只是一个幌子。最后的2.5次元音乐剧实在是太可爱了啊。
还行吧，各个部分的剧情总感觉不均匀，可能这也是电影特别的一部分吧，巴斯正经起来了，少了一些中二的欢乐，本来也不一样！陪孩子看的，还行！
比上一部好得多 回到平均水準 star和傑西依然在別處閃耀 誰不想做努力的子貓 永遠守護達子的笑容呢
不知道为什么，没有以前欢乐了
4.5/10。差与无聊是一线之隔，时空跨越带来的物是人非之感比《飞屋环游记》封神的15分钟表现差远了。少数群体太难了还要被这样“消费”。后半段的冒险是主打怀旧吗，以创新闻名的皮克斯接二连三怀旧风？我对这部电影有火气的原因是它用了巴斯光年这个形象，我童年里的玩具总动员啊！在动画电影中主角长差不多比真人电影更灾难。
好奇是怎么取景的 疫情期间拍异国风情不容易啊 虽然挺套路的但还是看得很开心而且看结尾彩蛋应该还会继续 行骗宇宙赛高！这部里面新登场的真木阳子目测会在下一部大有作为 PS：总觉得麻酱胖了（当然我麻怎样都好看啦）
依然骗得很开心，麻酱吃了保鲜膜吗一直这么美丽！小少爷实惨哈哈哈哈
东出昌大这个角色可不可以自觉一点选择自杀？
看到演员表里面有结子和春马，但是在影片里面没有看到，或许就是他们最后没有拍完的吧，故事还是传统套路，没什么好，也不算不好。
赤星你清醒一点！！！你这样怎么进军地中海地区啊喂！！！

其实起承转合达到系列平均水平，没想到才第三部剧场版就开始审美疲劳了，没有了像当初第一部胡子男片尾曲出来的那种惊艳感，一堆东方人在西方讲西文始终感觉怪怪的，日本李易峰一点也没受出轨离婚影响也有点意外
光年正传和玩具总动员一点关系也没有，通篇是以人类为视角，各种作死征服太空，再次沦为了俗套的冒险电影。ZZZQ和各种同性恋桥段看得也很无感，Chris Evans配音又如何？他只不过是个为迪士尼打工的旗下艺人罢了。imdb目前4.6分，皮克斯所有动画片里的历史最低分！
800个800个心眼子！！！
