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.

电影本身一般般，反正雷导用人脉拉下大牌花三四成功力就收钱皆大欢喜，不过这部似乎比金钱世界更加漫不经心，家族内斗戏充满各种插科打诨，同偶尔忍不住流露出的苍凉底色互相冲突。人物掌控也不好，范思哲、Tom Ford和Vogue总监都是有分量的人物，出场连个基本响朵都没有，要靠盲猜。很多桥段明明还可以继续情感推进就突然换场景（而且往往是换到光影底色完全不同的场景），各种意犹未尽感，剪辑师要分锅，也不排除是资方嫌片太长要求剪掉有意义的对话。这个底本让马丁斯科塞斯、史蒂文索德伯格甚至昆汀来导演的话应该会非常精彩。演员倒是有亮点，媚眼肉鼻丰乳肥臀的雷帝嘎嘎配古驰套装相当抢眼而且演技持续进步，莱托再次奉献毁容式角色不过做派异常夸张堪比小丑，帕西诺拥抱他那一段分分钟出戏下一秒就是教父爆头，亚当司机反被比下去了
令人失望。
两个女演员挺好的，很有青春气息，只是如果已经做出选择了，就别揪着过去不放了，让前任当伴娘这个挺残忍的。
难看就算了，最可怕的其实是无聊，怎么可以这么无聊，甚至都没有什么值得说道的片段。

拍的稳倒是挺稳 可就是没啥意思 唯一的趣味点是lady嘎嘎的造型 每一套 每一身衣服 都像是什么温州女老板 让人出戏哈哈哈哈
陷进去了
以及我不理解为什么要在女同性恋纯爱情片中加莫名其妙的男性角色、结尾为什么be我get不到逻辑。😅
大概就是當初看Timing的感覺，編導跟技術真的都是emily level？但可能是血液中有著tvb的因子，又或是演員的功勞，後段還是有被勾到一些情感（但實在太多其他電影的影子了）
无法不去注视老鳖的上嘴唇还有那凹凸不平的脸，没有细节的流水账是什么鬼，导演赶紧去拍异形前传吧，这种乱七八招的别搞了
？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？导演执导自己在拍什么吗？？？？？？？？ 老子长这么大没看过这么莫名其妙的东西？？？天呐小时代都比这个好看！！！！我的天哪小时代太好看了！！
真的 也太平铺直叙了 司机戏份这么多我也看得好无聊
Gucci家族生意史，以概括叙述，尽管两个半小时的电影，能看出省略的地方还是挺多的，不能算全面，但看下来是流畅的。故事中，这个漂亮女人一步步引导着男人依着她的欲求追逐。不甘于平凡，开始了欲念的前奏。欲望一点点增加，其所获变得不再平衡。最后由爱成恨，是循序渐进的过程。
大柔光我确实不太喜欢。还停留在用肉体疼痛表现内心痛苦的层面，高中生时期的感情幼稚一点我还能接受，一直到三十岁还用很梦幻手法表现未免太表面。
除了25号色之外，对GUCCI的所有了解几乎都来自这部电影。看完之后对ladyGaga真是由衷敬佩，又能唱又能演身材还这么好
优缺点都很明显。表达情感够真挚，但技术及能力欠缺。花活太多没必要。李芯悦这个演员以后应该会出来，层次感表现的可以。三星
拍的还是不够细腻，香港进入21世界后新电影的通病
剧情上有些跳跃，也不喜欢这个结局，这可能是现实状况的无奈，也太过刻意营造出氛围来渲染，但是有很多好的镜头画面，演员的表演，尤其喜欢短发女主，有种清新俊俏的美感，还挺像年轻版叶童，点开一看还真跟叶童一起拍过戏。
我们真的在滂沱大雨中宣告爱意，我们依然走过教堂，为你带上了戒指。冲破不了世俗，绑架了自己，如果这个世界再宽容些再好一点我们会是HE。
