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.
是不是如今重启作品不调侃下影视行业和之前几部都不算重启，编剧恐怕借鉴《黑客帝国4》剧情开展从回忆杀抓住老粉心情之后掺杂当今主流消费者思路。本来无脑片如今改成剧本杀版无脑片，换汤不换药的做法这系列能做一辈子还是坐等《惊声尖笑》吧
万万没想到，主创玩得这么开放，疯狂吐槽调侃恐怖片及续作套路，大玩特玩好多迷影梗。原班人马回归也是非常有诚意了，强烈推荐
比想象中好看也 官方吐槽玩梗🉑️ 适合对第一部记忆犹新时看

《Babadook》《It Follows》《Hereditary》……命硬老妹恐怖片品味了得；本片严格遵守赔命守则；爆头官宣第三幕；虽然没有火焰喷射器，但薪火相传是真的很大火；F$ck Elevated Horror！For Wes！真爱粉丝致敬作，有被感动到
属于看过就会忘记的电影，恐怖片系列电影，基本上就是借着原有口碑，继续圈点钱。这部是讲两个重度影迷，不满意第四部的电影剧情，决定自己来扮演恐怖杀人狂，然后打打杀杀，最后被主角干倒了。

一开始觉得女主角不是心中安妮这样狡黠活跃的性格，看到后面，女主角不一直自白认真投入人物本身时觉得演绎得又毫无问题。结尾真的幽默又美好
生活流无出路故事，但是困难设计和表演都比较一般，结尾开推土机还挺有意思，6.5
讲述的是女儿惠英(金惠允饰)挖掘遭遇突如其来的事故中父亲行迹的故事。
事实证明看这部新作之前重温第一集非常有必要，二者关联不小，连着看增加不少乐趣，不但把铁三角请回来了，还把第一集的大房子也请回来了，做了一次很完整的致敬，不过因此让凶手身份很好猜了，也导致了明显的漏洞。。。问题很多但保持了系列一贯的娱乐性，比起《月光光心慌慌》那样打不死的杀人狂还是好看很多的，最后反杀戏太爽了，“永远别搞杀人狂的…..！”牛x
影调太现代化了（烧女图的画面很好看很古典但我确实看不下去…）但是故事还有人物形象我很喜欢，或许可以看看07版的。打破第四堵墙的设置也意外的不违和。但是啊这个男女主确实是没什么cp感…看不出来爱情的火花擦在哪儿了

女主虽然很帅，打架也爽，但脑子实在捉急，气！
看完只有一个感想：小朋友你的心中是否有许多问号？
就是给粉丝的吧，不懂外网评价怎么这么高，是当年那些粉丝都长大当影评人了吗…唯一优点是对requal的吐槽，但是自己也狠狠踩中每一个槽点。而对于一个新时代的系列来说，创新点太少（可能就第一场戏对手机的利用吧）。前作第一部的成功我觉得最重要的就是对之前八九十年代恐怖片的一个累积吐槽，而新系列完全没有贡献新的吐槽，不过可能因为猎杀恐怖片本来已经不是现在的主流了。
吞声忍气 抑或 殊死一搏
