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.
今天网飞年度热门大片是灰影人，去年是红色通缉令？
比网飞一般自制还是好一些的，开场的烟花戏打斗很漂亮，布拉格的电车戏也算是相当有诚意了，高潮打美队的设计差点意思，可能美队太贵了，打美队就够了
犯困，故事超无聊，一群人为一个小破内存卡瞎折腾。画面不够美，风景不养眼，没啥意境。说一下角色的服化，毫无谍战动作大片应有的那种质感，衣服鞋子手表都是穿的啥啊，一群情报局精英，美元按千万算的，就只配穿这。
看到出 大制作！ 不过有够烂的( ̀⌄ ́)
巨烂无比，罗素兄弟还是别拍电影了，从荷兰弟那部独角戏到这部高司令版007，只有愚蠢的对白和尴尬的演技！Chris Evans的油腻胡子男形象简直是吐了！
随着各种网飞动作片释出，拼盘玩法已经日渐令人生厌，一手好牌被打烂。但即便剧情俗套得一塌糊涂，但耐不住有安娜·德·阿玛斯！ PS：一代男神高司令也不敌杀猪刀……
2046的粉丝们是可以看看哈，但是这么多资源随意使用警方随便打真得不太讲道理……香港地址都暴露了为什么不转移，而且哈佛到底有啥好吹的啊……做这一行又不能放到领英上。还有小女孩的心脏比一般人都要好吧！！杀手x少女的戏份永远不过时的吗。
大制作爆米花，剧情毫无新意，怕是经费光花在动作场面和大牌明星上了。
这种套模板的故事还是改编自小说的啊，大概可以想象出原著是个什么样了…动作戏时不时地能看到些《美队2》的影子
又一部看的时候还算爽，看完就忘的好莱坞爆米花片，但是人家肯花钱咱也不花钱就能看，为何不看？毕竟国内这样的大场面少之又少。
就这水准还敢标榜《碟中谍》？罗素兄弟的脑袋怕不是秀逗了吧。人物行为动机不明，动作戏一盘散沙，剧情推进全皆是似曾相识的情节套拍，这种电影出现在2022年还想征服观众完全就是「痴人说梦」（远不如同日出的《犯罪都市2》更有诚意）。高投资（两亿刀）电影为什么总是令人失望透顶，高斯林+美队的组合几乎让人完全失去欲望甚至看着难受，除了文本之外，Netflix是不是该思考些什么呢？目前看来，就这拉胯的玩意，还是别拍2了。
电影的投入也不小，眼花缭乱地在全世界转场。看高司令和美队两大型男对战也真是过瘾啊！剧情比较简单，反水间谍被全世界追杀，传统套路。最精彩的是中间布拉格街道一战，精彩万分，足以载入动作片史册！只可惜高潮来得早了点，后面的戏就有点没味道了，尤其是结尾，真是无语，就死了个美队，反派啥事没有同，这算什么啊？明明应该小黑反派下台，美女主管上位代替成为新反派啊！
今天网飞年度热门大片是灰影人，去年是红色通缉令？
各种剧情和设定都挺无趣，但是高司令在片里养眼，美队反派还算成功，加1星，不知道美队是档期不够呢还是什么原因，大戏替身用的也太多了吧，高司令就不清楚了，要么是不明显，要么是不多😂😂😂
哈哈哈一点都不无聊啊 无脑到好笑啊哈哈哈哈 不过我现在真的是 看到安娜就开心也是没救了
无脑爽片，又科普了世界上许多地名，包括半个欧洲。当然最出彩的是动作戏！与家人免费观看得津津有味。结局很开放，期待续集。另外克里斯·埃文斯饰演得很欠儿！
to网飞：有钱也别乱花啊！正如网友所言克里斯·埃文斯果然是周树人造型啊哈哈哈，罗素兄弟何必呢，简直是在力图证明美队2的成功不是自己的功劳....安娜妹子依然很能打，可怜的一堆莫名被破坏的好建筑好地方啧啧
ps.亮点全在布拉格
开片两分钟交代任务，联邦监狱内，CIA招募罪犯主人公成为代号six的佣兵杀手来解决高级别罪犯，以换取出狱机会。然而事情并非那么简单，一次刺杀行动中，主人公从目标对象那里得知，被杀者竟是和six一样同是被招募的佣兵。并从其手中得到了一件关键证物，不料引来杀身之祸。弃。枪战，武打，飙车，各种动作特效大场面的堆砌。想看的话还是适合在影院看，那样才有震撼的效果，好莱坞爆米花电影图个视听刺激，看完就完了。
把Ryan Gosling和Chris Evans请来就说了这么个故事？你还不如让他辆演同志爸爸为了美丽女儿的抚养权大打出手最后激烈性爱和好呢。
