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.
8.5/10很棒的漫威电影，堪比复联的精彩。
实在不想看到旺达变成纯反派，由于有更多魔法和多元宇宙元素的加持，故事情节相比于之前的单人电影没那么单薄，视觉效果基本也是最顶级的。对于熟悉旺达的人来说，可能这一部配上旺达幻视的剧集，更能让人体会到她的母爱吧
I love you in every universe 一顿哭
看到光照会还是很惊艳，女巫大杀四方，现阶段除了雷神凤凰应该没有人可以和她抗衡。瑞秋还是那么美！
这超英团战比无敌少侠第一集还血腥。
所以这一部里奇异move on了，美国小姐学会了控制能力，旺达各种被编剧虐😂恐怖氛围做得相当不错，就是音乐对决那一段太扯了
emmmm剧情冗长 没想到是部惊悚片 特效元宇宙穿梭那段挺不错 ，前99%都被猩红女巫虐菜鸡一样 ，最后1%还是自己幡然醒悟，这个反派戏份有点多。最后三只眼睛可太吓人了
打个7分吧
horror这个tag打得果然很对 Wanda和剧衔接得很好 可怜 但是又恨不起来/ 解构真的很天马行空 优点缺点都很明显 胜在时长适中 逻辑没什么大问题/ 总有一个宇宙可以说我爱你 总有一个时空能圆满？ 还挺浪漫的
黑化旺达干了那么多坏事，但我看电影的时候仍然爱她。
9.5欧看了原声，听懂了好多！除了一些他们的自造词，普通对话包括解释内容都听懂了！我好棒！太帅了卷福，大帅哥！惊悚片实锤，被吓到好几次
那些不愿放下的人最后都成了漫威宇宙的反派了吧
仅仅止于一些有趣的idea…然后恭喜二郎神加入漫威宇宙！
部分段落极佳，但凑到一起就显得乱/血腥恐怖元素挺含蓄了，但还是很难想象有那个爆浆镜头还能被分级成12A/旺达是一天正常日子都没过过啊…….
一如既往的没有引进，似乎钢铁侠一死，那个本该链接我们宇宙的mcu就消失了，取而代之的是一个妄图侵略我们宇宙的一个不合理混乱又混沌的多元宇宙，这大概是重启宇宙以来mcu最为黑暗邪恶的故事，所以说“知识是人类进步的阶梯，书中有一切”
宿舍显示屏外放和舍友一块看，也有点电影院的感觉
在每一个宇宙里和爱的人都不能在一起…实惨…
“一曲肝肠断，天涯何处觅知音！” 平行宇宙的特性导致桥段之间略显跳脱，像无数个短视频拼成一部大电影。不过这样做的好处是扎扎实实地做出了一场视听盛宴，我已经很久没用“视听盛宴”这么俗的词形容电影了。再回到老生常谈的争论，电影可不可以是主题乐园？ 也许可以……前提是这个主题不至于太过幼稚。比起蜘蛛侠3，虽然超级英雄的终极大招还是“话疗”，不过这个多重自我与无限宇宙的呈现还是要技高一筹。
故事进入了多元宇宙，但感觉越来越儿童化了…但特效真的很棒呀，期待影院还能上映…
黑化旺达大杀四方，只为做个妈。X教授和神奇四侠店戏份是想说明其正式加入妇联宇宙？但这两个工具人有点惨……最后死灵奇异博士蛮出彩的。
