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.
好甜好可爱的浪漫喜剧 漫改就会有学漫画的夸张真人版里很正常 2个小时有趣好笑然后看帅哥美女谈恋爱就得了
还有一些词语故意不翻译，阿b真有你的。
还原了很多名场面，演员梗也很有意思，不过还是看过原著再看比较好，前半段实在是让我尴尬到退出了好几次
男主不帅，女主太胖，书记，，，唉，没有可爱的感觉，，，，
前面的小幽默都不是韩寒的真正实力，演唱会后的故事节奏才是真正的韩寒，无人能取代。另外，戏外看起来那么茶的刘浩存，戏里却总能够繁华落尽见真淳，如此极致的塑造力，怎么不算天赋型演员呢？
就电影本身而言，怎奈《窃听风暴》是无法逾越的高峰。
20220516 太中二了，不过这不就是这部剧的特色吗，哈哈，一边尴尬着一边看还是挺好玩的
没看过原作，非原著粉。演技和台词很尴尬，看不下去呀。
三体人的降维打击，真人漫改的升维打击，绝杀。如果没有动漫先入为主的认知，如果少一点尴尬夸张的表演，也会是不错的青春恋爱电影吧。结局改编很不错，比漫画好多了，就像一个结束也是另一个开始，他们的故事永远在继续。
《辉夜大小姐想让我告白》宣布制作续集，第一部讲述具有全国顶尖学习能力的学生会长白银与大财团的千金辉夜，为了让对方先行告白展开的恋爱头脑大作战。
2.5/5 比第一部好太多，奉心祭气球告白有被惊喜到，后半部分的节奏比前半部分好，但不妨碍尴尬依旧。ED五人跳恋降る月夜に君想ふ才发现佐野勇斗真的好高（鹤立鸡群。
比第一部好多了，情节流畅，结局合理舒畅，值得。
好甜好可爱的浪漫喜剧 漫改就会有学漫画的夸张真人版里很正常 2个小时有趣好笑然后看帅哥美女谈恋爱就得了
不过还得说真的不希望他再接少女漫改了 不是别的 就是觉得不太适合有刘海的造型🤣🤣以及希望今年能够有点资源吧 太惨淡了！
永远不要低估邪恶的底线可以去到什么程度，毕竟是基于历史真实人物的再创作，有史可鉴。拉斯·艾丁格无与伦比的演技撑起了一个平凡的剧本，把自身内天使与魔鬼的不断博弈厮杀所呈现出来的彷徨、无助、分裂、挣扎，演绎的如此鲜活和真实——极权之下，无人可免于恐惧。
对于平野紫耀的粉丝可能是享受，对于我这个纯粹的i电影院来讲就是灾难，如果无聊也能杀人的话，我今天大概已经死了一万次了吧🙉
没有看过原版漫画、动漫。 但是会长入学那里真的看到我头皮发麻了。 太可怕了吧，辉夜。 极端有钱的富家女，极端的喜欢自己。 搞这么多东西只为了得到自己的心。 拒绝完亲完之后，搞失踪，转身在大学捐了一栋楼。当上副会长。还给自己谋了个会长的职位。自己坐的专机出的国。还一直让人监控自己的生活、精神状态。玩弄、操控自己的感情。这太可怕了，这心机。 假设是我在大学遇见辉夜，我会转身就跑。 还扯什么喜欢不喜欢的，不喜欢不喜欢不喜欢！！！可怕 关键是这两人完全不是一个阶级的。男的穷到出个国读书都要坐两星期的货船。父亲游手好闲不干正事。会长最拿的出手的只有他本人了。 啊，这站在女方来说是倒贴，但是男的也没有占到什么好处吧。 我真的不懂了。 两情相悦，就表个白的事情搞这么复杂。我真的不懂了。 气球表白很浪漫。
居然真的告白了~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
太无聊了。韩寒你拍这么无聊难看的电影毒害春节档，赔再多钱也是应该的。
就是说 再看不到平野紫耀上剧的话 我的一些 就是比如说我的容貌我的身材 还有我的社交的礼仪 还有美好的品德 美好的性格甚至灵魂都会被毁了
