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.
反转好突兀 最后进度条都快没了 才反转 然后又反转
想学《母亲》？
。
中午去看的 都没几个人看 一开场就闹哄哄的 剧情不可 看着都要睡着了
古董界的卷起来不仅需要会围棋还要熟悉摩斯密码【英皇影城
三个主角互不搭调的程度也是很难得一见了，大幅修改原作虽然是不得已而为之（一方面是篇幅一方面是视听呈现），但是抽掉硬核的文物鉴赏之后，补进来的围棋谜题就比较俗了，后半段就是瞎糊弄。
剧情有些还是不那么严谨，但主题和视角挺新颖。校园霸凌，这次聚焦的不是作恶的孩子，而是不以为意更徇私舞弊的父母，更揭示了这种恶屡禁不止，就是家长的庇护和无视造成了孩子的仗势欺人。后面几番反转也很有意思。本来以为攻守同盟的家长团体，突然因为孩子们讨厌其中一个同伴而把他推出来顶缸，刚开始还有所不解，后来真相大白发现原来那个同伴一开始是霸凌的受害者，因为自己的害怕和懦弱出卖了朋友成了新的霸陵团体一员，也是挺让人唏嘘的。全员恶人的权贵家长，即使看似公正的前警察也不例外，分工合作，玩弄受害者与法律于股掌之间，又黑暗又血淋淋的。最后一番律师父亲无意发现，自己以为可怜被欺凌只是误入歧途的孩子才是幕后悲剧真凶，那种一时震撼与恐惧，但平静后仍是毁灭证据掩盖真相，最后一刻恢复平常，挺黑暗也挺现实，反而力度感很强。
中规中矩商业片，越演越无聊，李现成功做到凭己之力一张嘴就让我立刻出戏，anyway开场雷佳音的旁白真的舒适
施暴者变成了被害者，最后反转还是压死骆驼的最后一根稻草。老师在当时知道律师儿子也是被霸凌者的时候，为什么没有表现出同情？最后其实不大能理解为什么死者觉得律师儿子更可恶啊？不是被逼的没有办法吗？最后律师儿子把他推下河这一段剧情真没必要，纯粹为反转而反转
啊这，短发演技我惊呆了
古董局中局，大佛头里头。阴在阳之内，真在假之间。
古董局中局，大佛头里头。阴在阳之内，真在假之间。
当剧情设定和人物逻辑充满槽点的时候，你就很难再对里面的煽情部分共情起来了。
抛开性别，就是青春期到成熟时期喜欢的情感与社会桎梏之间的拉扯。学校的风纪到社会的眼光。是细腻的表达，连配角的反映也很接地气。
世俗的压力也许存在，其实还是会认为传达错误的价值观，不被允许女孩和女孩在一起，失恋会喝酒，失恋会失控，会试探，生活未必会这样。生活也许很平静。初恋也许是件美好藏在心里的人，没有接触的感情也不能称之为感情，只能是情感
韩国现在校园暴力问题很火，本片精彩的在后面，一步一步交代绝不在前面露出一点线索，确实，比起那三个施暴的孩子，律师的孩子更坏，人性的劣根性最后表现无疑，孩子像爸爸。
以爆米花电影的角度看，影片算是合格的爽片。悬疑探险，机关重重，可以参考《寻龙诀》，人物配置，情节推演，都有较大的可比性，所不同者，少了点超自然现象而已。第一次看李现的戏，霸道总裁的范儿还是妥的。大头也是接地气的。在某种意义上，这片也算是导演郭子健的一场小小的翻身仗了吧，续集大概也提上日程了吧。
持续以奇观来掩饰内容的单薄，前面鉴宝比拼、拍卖会砸场，还算有叙事和人物塑造，后面河南农村那些新道具、新场景、新人物，完全是在水时长。有那功夫讲讲人物前史行不行？父子情占比不少，但让人无动于衷。马伯庸善故弄玄虚、不会塑造人物成为行业共识了吗？他怎么还不跟五元文化合作？你们简直天作之合，国产影视圈两大瑰宝。
【21.12.3，万达，7.5-7.8 out of 10】非常合格的商业电影，有瑕疵，但是瑕不掩瑜的作品。因为时间篇幅的限制，肯定不得不作大幅度的删减。电影上保留了许愿一家三代人为了保护中国的文物默默牺牲和奉献的主干，电影里对于中国的文物，围棋，法身佛和报身佛基本佛教知识都有涉猎，要让观众在120分钟内强行理解很多文史知识，确实是比较冒险的尝试。许愿和药不然的三次比试谁我很喜欢的部分，尤其第二部分在魁市的拍的尤为好看。阿如拿饰演的反派角色这次得到了一致好评，他演的很不错，但是在电影里我觉得喧宾夺主了。李现的药不然的戏份被删减太多了，所以药不然和药来的故事线没能很好的展开太可惜了，书里我还是很喜欢这两个人物的。非常期待继续有第2部，在2021年看过的电影里这部是我比较满意的商业电影，为了平衡
最大的问题还是太不讲动机了，一路想当然到底。5
