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.
一个干净的故事，简单而饱满地演绎。不煽情，不啰嗦。点赞张导，他真的是品质的保障。
希望可以拍一个《浅草基德2》，『 浅草kid 2 』。一是给兼子清(兼子二郎)戏份太少了，这个人物可是北野武成长过程中重要的关键性角色。二是其实更应该去拍一些北野武早年接触电影的开端，比如他在60末70初到底有没有在若松孝二等人的片中跑过龙套，因为没有露脸也无从考证。然后还有他第一次给动画《小诚》客串配音，以及第一次客串《翻斗车候鸟》的幕后和内心情感。
张泽没超过3分钟镜头 章居然当主演了 原来是老乡 难怪说长得像一个球友
最近看的战争片最好的一部了。唯一的败笔就是最后开挂。迫击炮没搞死他，重机枪没搞死他，狙击手没搞死他。一个连没搞死他，这一个连就跑了。。。
疫情是一场战争，一场和资本主义，帝国主义，修正主义，官僚主义的斗争，坚决和与病毒共存的投降主义观点斗争到底！
票房输给水门桥正常（毕竟水门桥更商业），但是输那么多真的觉得我们的观众电影鉴赏能力太低了。
整体拍得比较克制，视听语言洗练干净，基本只有黑白红三色充斥全片。故事线也还可以，小视角中腾挪辗转以小见大，三五个交手回合呈现得也算清晰，但唱歌那段真的太突兀，时间也过长，感觉是点明中心思想生怕不突出，非要点死为止。另外，旁白叙事还是生硬了些，最后结尾高潮对决坦克的前因后果交代不明，场景也做了转移，过渡再平滑些就好了。四星。
穿西装的模样太帅了，感觉有点像太宰治啊
日本不少这样的全能芸人，北野武是，剧团一人也是。
狙击手对战戏份挺精彩的，但个人觉得个别重要的具体故事情节刻画地有点过，比如步枪攻击坦克，朝鲜小孩数次在狙击战场上无所畏惧地跑来跑去，美方狙击手后来的畏缩言行，另外志愿军几乎每击中一次就会有子弹特效出现，以及唱歌时表达的本意应是意欲唤醒的焦急心态多于无畏牺牲的悲壮，表述过头而让人觉得不真实，有那么点主旋律影片的意思。
讲北野武拜师出师的故事。深见千三郎对北野武来说亦师亦父亦友，表达的感情真挚，导演在一些段落处理甚是催泪感人。
不值四星，每个人物都刻画的很不错，片长也很适中，整体故事完整，凡事都怕个但是……但是美军两个头目不合差点狙杀指挥官，和最终志愿军连长来接人的场景对比太鲜明了，这个有必要么？坦克内两个美军的对话是什么鬼，这个部分的剧情设定太尴尬了，最终的政治正确丝毫没有意义，完全不如前半场的双方对战，各种人物情绪的表达显得丰满和真实，总的来说，三星可看
遗照的使用方式最棒：给你一个表情你自己去体会。就这么被励志酱了——北野武老师。细细一想还挺漫的。
主角的成长。没有浪费的场景，作为一整部长片似乎小了一点，半个小时的精彩内容会不会更好看
讲真还蛮失望的。优点是单一场景聚焦一个故事的初衷，但说实话故事讲得真不怎么样，很难说精彩。后半段更是敌军智商跟战斗力都突然下降，有点抗日神剧的意思。最差的是人物塑造，都太单薄到几乎没有，除了章宇那个班长和男主爱哭之外其他人都毫无印象。配乐也有点拉胯。得去复习复习之前大家都是咋夸的，我是真的不懂了。
老谋子又一部没有让我失望的小成本电影，章宇越来越成熟，演技也日臻娴熟，虽然剧情简单了一些，但在当下拍出这么提气的电影，向当年所有参加抗美援朝战争的英雄们致敬，更为中国的强大而自豪！
一开始觉得柳乐优弥太帅了啦，不过后续凭借演技还是能带入戏的。老师傅真是德艺双馨，多亏了这位伯乐啦！
从前慢。怀旧，致敬，哀悼。几段蒙太奇不错，行云流水。影视剧中的死亡总有预兆，一段小高潮，一番小华丽，之后便是落幕。俗套，但赢在流畅和表演。阿武，你这不是去给师傅送零花钱，你这是去给师傅送终。都是宿命。
无论是短剧还是漫才，剧场还是电视，阿武从来没有忘记过师父跟他说的，“不要扮丑被人笑，而是要靠表演逗人笑。”电梯里的踢踏舞，第一次的女装登台，消失的手指和call back的高跟鞋，居酒屋里的对手戏，棋逢对手的大泉洋和柳乐优弥，上演了一场场令人动容的师徒情谊。曾经有过的热闹时光，即使剥落了也会留下美好记忆。PS.门胁麦美出新高度～
有笑点，有泪点，实景拍摄，切入点小，没有一味地歌功颂德，90分钟体量，是近期难得看到的类型。没有抱有期待，没想到感动而归，老谋子还是老谋子！
