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.
冲着芭蕾去看的 只是舞蹈桥段太少 女主颜值真是可人
丛林的设置成为释放现实压抑的出口 那段视觉太迷人了 情感肉体利益荣誉生存每个人都有自己要爬的山啄的洞 最后那场芭蕾编舞太有冲击力了 那一声声摔落的巨响 每日睡觉时是否可以无所愧 人生低谷是福分 重新崛起也是福分 “金钱爱情 若为自由故 皆可抛”
这个评分这么低？不可思议，被朋友安利到，刚看完，哭的稀里哗啦，民间故事结合鬼怪力神剖析人性，看到最后才反转的好片子
反转再反转，不错。很多的场景就是童年梦想，很好。就是最后有点崩，可能时长不够了。真想像小男孩一样醉心于自己喜欢的文体，笔耕不辍，在自己的故事里汲取力量
故事中的故事有点潦草，其他我觉得设定还不错～
中下水平的一部电影。作为一部儿童恐怖片，影片不可能真的有多恐怖，这也造成影片本身缺乏亮点，正邪双方的故事本身就有些平平淡淡，男主讲的几个睡前恐怖故事，也并没有给人感觉有多恐怖，探案悬疑的部分算是有些亮点，讲故事时呈现的一些画面比较有童趣，但依然撑不起整部电影，另外就是现在欧美不敢黑黑人了，就开始黑黄种人了，如果不是在黑的话，为何结尾男主讲述自己的故事时，他的朋友一定是一个亚洲人，还是各种嫌弃男主，并会引发观众讨厌的亚洲人？实在是有些太刻意了。另外就是，女主明明拿了变女巫的药，也用了，为什么不先去拯救被变成人偶的朋友们，这会不会有些太自私了？结尾还刻意给了那些人偶镜头，这是想表达他们被遗忘了，所以很惨？整体来说就是个流水线下的作品，并不推荐。
网大依然还是那个德行，除了钱多了让画面变得精致了，其它的依然啥也是

还可以，小男孩挺可爱，但总感觉像谁。故事一般，舞美不错
有点类似 怪奇物语的风格 但是不如怪奇物语饱满
…后半段比前半段要有趣很多，男的好适合演这种呆瓜白男，又油又可爱（带上梦女滤镜
在B站睇到有些片段几重口暗黑嘅，就睇咗全片……m……女巫（不是原初那只）几靓女。
整体来说，没啥新意，很早中国版咖喱辣椒比这部有意思，法国式幽默，夹杂着血腥和暴力，碎嘴带着色情，很多元素都涉及，公路飙车，枪战笼战都没有很出色表现出来，只能说表现平平。只是能顺畅的把故事讲完而已。
没有人能讲完一个故事而不暴露自己的内心，好故事永远是包含了真实的故事。剧情完成度极高，高潮反转收尾气息全部给得足足的。小孩子演友谊桥段简直真诚得逼人，未经雕琢的泪水和同情能让人瞬间破防。丽特的反派可爱又无比邪恶，黑妹小小年纪已经起范，细节里笑点相当可观。以及“魔法图书馆、同伴大冒险、勇敢做自己”，just sign me up FOREVER!

can't even finish the whole thing
为什么要让一个小孩言行举止cocky得像一个白男…
边干活边看，氛围营造得挺好的。影片三颗星吧，最后温情部分姐姐带你回家共情了，心疼弟弟，加一星感情分。
PS 中文片名的翻译真是太拉垮啊！这个续集字面意义是远离巴黎环路，呼应10年前的第一集的环路另一侧（也是意指两主演第一次搭档时两个世界观的相撞）。这一集主题也是与时俱进，远离环路来到了一个虚构的山村乡下城市，反应了当代极右的崛起。
474 标准的网飞片，不过剧情有些亮点，游乐场那段拍摄也不错。奥玛希自从不可触碰出名后，说实话一直没啥好片子。包括很火的亚森罗宾其实也挺一般，ps他可真爱穿aj锕
