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.
难以想象，为什么会有一个一边说着南无阿弥陀佛，一边哭的柱
对普通人来说，生活本身更有意义。大的历史背景下，人会生不由己，但随波逐流还是特立独行，是你自己的选择。
4.法比安为女友写面试台词，女友深受感动，俩人隔着玻璃接吻，预示相爱的两人地位即将发生变化
忍姐姐quq 三只豆豆眼小妹很有萌点，不得不说，炭治郎这个意志力，不愧是主角！
这部是蜘蛛山和列车中间的部分，主角们回复治疗的过程还是有点趣味的，只是没有可看的砍鬼故事。可惜和之前的故事不算太连续，没看到主角的第一次任务。
拍的有些拖沓，但手法新颖，技巧花哨，剪辑流畅，叙事风格是教科书式的。电影通过法比安的第一视角将1930年代初的德国用主观臆想描述开来，每个人都在边缘挣扎，都在往堕落的方向倾斜，最终堕入毫无希望的沉沦，腐朽，糜烂。生活到达了绝境，能选择的只有死亡，然而，这样的环境中，那些有尊严的人选择了自杀，余下的人们已经学会如狗一样生活，人道、体面一文不值，死亡也不再成为选项。孤独、寂寞，如浮萍，如落叶，随遇而安。可是电影仍旧保留着温存，这份温存就是爱，就是人性，无论现实多么冰冷残酷，倘若能够遇到刹那间的火花与美好，人们都紧紧把握，纵使心碎，在所不惜。法比安的死是宿命式的，令人难过，可是当收尾时，死亡是他唯一的归宿。结局我不喜欢，一方面是类似电影的终结套路，另外一方面现实里的人生更多的不是死亡而持续沉沦堕落。
6.不管怎样，生活是最有趣的工作
人物传记史/时代悲歌，游移长镜头，道德秩序毁灭，死在家乡阳光明媚的河底，烧毁书籍-个人记忆被历史磨灭，保持清醒/怀有希望即不合时宜（法文跟1号厅一样热
人生是荒诞的 用力的 柔软的 感人的 你我之间的
我靠，导演心是真黑啊……听到妈妈坐火车回老家德累斯顿我心就一沉，这结局甚至没让法比安等到战争爆发……逝去的人烧毁的原稿，一切美好都在逝去或终将逝去
结局会马上想到《横道世之介》。不该死的人死了。
除了转换场景的动画和片尾预告和tv版好像一点儿区别也没有😂
前十分钟，节奏轻快，历史记录感明显，适当点评和心理分析有助于理解！
83/100，一個浪漫主義的色彩的康德主義者被一個道德淪喪，集體有意識發瘋的失控時代碾壓摧毀的故事。沒法說不好，但就是因為太好了，從拍攝，鏡頭調度，各種學院手法駕輕就熟，湯姆希林演這類的角色自然不用說，一如既往得好，好得在此種氣質的人物里無法指摘。也不知道是不是導演為了儘可能忠於文本而把結構內容鋪得這麽滿，太眼花繚亂反而少了一些風格的統一和驚喜。就是好，肯定是好，但也依然少了些跳脫，多了幾分中正的德式匠氣。當然是得再看的。
绝对是一部需要一定门槛才能看得懂的电影，但即使看不懂，也不影响这是一部有吸引力的电影。
这个影像本身很有魅力，哪怕风格不是很稳定。在这个疯狂的世界，做一个醉着的清醒人，其实很痛苦。
法比安的结局让人唏嘘，他一直都悲天悯人，让流浪汉进餐厅，帮打扫卫生的女生解围，解救落水的男孩，只是忘了自己不会游泳，没想到男孩顺利上岸而他消失在水流中～那是一个让理想坍塌的社会，苟且活着吧，不然就去死，像拉布德～
两天前看的，那时豆瓣因为没认证身份不能标记。我恨豆瓣
艹我好喜欢这部！啊啊啊。我以为是有点无趣的文艺片，没想到有几条故事线，还有很多设计的技巧，有些地方看哭了。。。男女主裸着5号房换到6号房，跳舞、ML，女孩怀疑男孩偷钱给她买裙子，隔着玻璃亲吻，舞台上方看着下方女主背出两人真实际遇的“台词”，拉布德父亲哭泣，男主去学校质问教授，那位有钱的大姐姐和男主的几段偶遇，都好喜欢。。。哎，汤姆希林真的演得好好。
实话实说，我看的太没意思了，断断续续，还是我层次不够啊。
