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.
怎么就这么期待反派能赢呢？有些转折还是太生硬，前面的警界那么官僚，放甄子丹又突然装得很人情。谢霆锋前面都计划周详，偏偏抢银行毫无撤退计划，设定太生硬。
真的好久没看到谢霆锋演戏了，怎么会有人扔炸弹扔的这么帅！陈木胜导演在整部影片都在贯穿一个道理，凡事不是非黑即白，有很多不为人理解的选择，其实是因为他没有选择，而当你站在同一场景下，相信你也会感同身受。
动作与枪战拳拳到肉枪枪爆头，敖的疯癫复仇进行到底有爽到，比起邦，敖更贴合怒火。剧情依旧一眼看到头，但谢霆锋这次是真帅。
爱谢霆锋，但前阵子公司来了两个高考完的姑娘，一个是音乐专业，我问她会唱谢霆锋的歌吗，她说不认识…另一个接话，我知道，是做饭那个
怎么说呢，期望越大失望越大，不仅毁了桐人前期高冷的形象，也毁了亚丝娜坚强的形象，加入这个人的意义完全没发挥出来，以为是中间为救亚丝娜挂了，让亚丝娜坚强的原因，结果发现完全不是，像这样的，宁愿不重置，而且也和进击篇小说差很远，真的失望
节奏很紧凑，初看可到四星，热血褪却顿减一星。主角道德标榜圣人，面对前两次选择，拒绝上司安排的和解以及当庭的指正都选择了道德清正（但若是我，大概都会睁只眼闭只眼，一则就算不和解坚持原则依然不会对结果造成影响还连累了队友，而且一个人的决策大概率会影响结局；二则虽然阿锋确实触碰了底线，但事出有因毕竟可以选择性的看不见），第三次面对自家老婆却放弃了原则，面对责问却说你们也会做这样的选择。可见他的行为也是分亲疏的，那之前两次的圣人行为就变的自相矛盾，所以为了成就圣人而正义，又为了体现真情而突破原则，过于脸谱的人物行为本身标准就是混乱，何谈其他。每个人的行为也都缺乏后手和延续，仿佛都是一时意气，观影时节奏紧张尚不觉得，看完后就索然起来。不得不感慨无间道果然是警匪片无法超越的巅峰。
最后教堂对决有没人跟我一样过度联想到spike和vicious那场，最后谢霆锋跌落，应该慢镜抽帧，来段传世bgm。
但是但是，SAO限定第一层亚丝娜呀awsl
久违的港味警匪片终于回来了，感谢陈木胜导演这一次以及从前带给港片影迷的记忆。打戏和追车戏都特别精彩，甄子丹拳拳到肉，长发谢霆锋的邪魅一笑太迷人了。今年暑期档最值得pick的电影，二刷想看粤语版~
典型的7分港式警匪片。然则后站中时代的港片比如《拆弹2》和《怒火》都涉及基层警员的价值迷茫，并不是一个偶然。小小黑帮已不够看，警匪对决变成了系统内外的警内斗，依然还是你死我活拳拳到肉，令人唏嘘。一个“崇邦”一个“港傲”几乎已经明说了，可惜文戏应该经过一些关键删改，还是说不明白。陈导的遗作很有野心啊。
想象力贫乏，创造力欠奉。子弹、刀刃、锤子，都不会让演员痛楚，所以你也不能切身感受到危险，无法入戏。打斗和枪战从动机到环境都毫无新意，或者停车场或者废弃厂房或者无人商场或者码头或者贫民窟或者教堂。马路追逐中给的镜头稍微顿一下，你就能知道那个人下一秒肯定被撞。你不能因为它一直在打，就管这种叫「经典香港动作片」，最多只能算是，套路。
2.如果命运转换，我觉得邦主也不会走上犯罪的道路
张崇邦双标，但刚敖连没欺辱过他，只是没顺应他心意的人也要杀，这还有啥好说的，伪善的人vs反社会的人，刚敖最后还在问邦主，如果那天是你去审可乐，我们的命运会不会互换，有啥好问的啊，邦主去问可乐就啥也问不出来呗，然后霍先生被杀，全组背锅不能升职就这样啊。
虽然后半内容就是TV内容，但也加了很多新东西，观感还是很不错的，比起刀剑3,4部好太多了……
港式警匪片一贯的简单粗暴。动作戏精彩，结尾教堂那一段打戏的好看程度不逊于《杀破狼》的巷道战。
如果当年你去追可乐会怎样
刻画了闪光亚丝娜的内心，浴室那段之前漫画看过，能有剧场版实属不易啊，刀剑这么大个IP希望能越做越好，期待今年的剧场版，如果每年有一部那就太棒了！
谢霆锋疯批美人人设不错，但剧情里难以共情。回忆里黑框眼镜的造型，真好看，是真的不会老啊。别做厨子了好吗，回来多拍点电影。（不小心剧透了，删掉重发）
这剧情让人想起《杀死一只知更鸟》里的律师父亲
