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.
感谢这部电影让我找到了男朋友。可是22年1月底分手了，希望他可以一切都好，他的下任男朋友可以像蠢太一样守护它。
my kind of person🥹（导演厉害，对多动症日常生活里的那种破碎拍得也太细了
被片名吸引来的，感觉乔安娜既不幸又幸运，不幸是因为自身的病症和家庭，幸运的是遇到了她，这个电影总体还行，不是很能理解
这部电影总体来说还行吧，就是时间太短了，不过讲的是关于爱情方面一些的，有些话语和经历在现实中也是存在的，只是很少有，像这样的爱情在现实中几乎没有几个人能做到。
每个枪，烟雾弹，手雷等都展现的挺好的，主角1v4挺厉害，手速真不错。
营销做得蛮凶的，放在网大的维度或许就算是佳作了，但放在电影的维度还是烂片～枪弹、飙车的实景特效也就能在电脑上看看，故事情节也很粗糙陈旧，父子的感情戏更是硬凹，完全打动不了我～唯一可以称赞的是导演将游戏电影化完成的还不错，让非玩家也能体验到游戏内部的热血与魅力～
拿着沙县的钱吃了顿米其林一星了属于是。居然还不错（女一要是没亲男一这片在我心里分能更高点）
更沒有辦法對愛著自己的人敞開心扉
剧的第7集和这部补全了准太的世界，我突然好爱这个角色。好爱他们的故事。因为一人世界被点亮了色彩，为了相守而耐下短暂的分离，带着脆弱变得坚不可摧…都是因为爱。
本片没有在影院上映是同期院线电影的幸运，枪战的视觉效果玩出了新花样
PS.青岛的学区房要700万？吹牛逼呢？你是不是做梦把自己当TM一线城市了？
宅男的毒鸡汤电影，穷就穷了，最可怕的穷人有骨气，已经穷到交不起房租了，孩子的教育也是稀烂，居然还天天在家打游戏，如果打游戏是一条出路，那也得面对现实啊！剧本就是长江7号+少林足球，但是故事本身也没讲好，资本为什么要主角输？黑鲨和主角之间的对立也是有点莫名其妙。最后的大战拍得非常乱，全靠解说讲解剧情了。
1.在爱你的人面前装傲娇，在你爱的人面前做舔狗，这就是人的本性，不论男女。2.把自己不想提及的事情在喜欢的人面前隐藏起来，其实并没有什么错，更不该被谴责。3.原生家庭的不幸，永远是一个人心底最脆弱的地方，能不碰尽量别碰。4.到底在哪才能那搞到这么一个又好看、又温柔、又善良、又大包的小炮友，这也太苏了吧？
2后边女主努力还男孩子钱那块真的很感人
妈呀，以一己之力拉高网大平均水平，冲冲冲！故事背景、人物设计、配的音乐和玩的各种梗，真的就是同龄人的电影，有的小细节还很细腻，为同龄人打call！
唯一不喜欢的就是准太在西班牙对高人说的羞耻的话，让我觉得像羞辱
还可以，把那些烂俗片段删一删的话可以打个四星。网络大电影＋手游有没有搞头？有！
剧情部分真是平平无奇，但是游戏部分拍的太好了，热血又燃，看得出导演花了很多心思烧了很多钱真的热爱才会这样。能为自己喜欢的游戏拍一部还不错的电影，也值了。
制作和剧情交代上有点儿乱，但作为等了一年多的剧场版，为了高人老婆！五星！
我只想看涩涩…… 为了爱的人变脆弱这个点挺好的
