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.
3-，传统“父结”，浩克是死侍的爹，科幻温馨家庭片。
险恶的电影，好像篮球一点都不重要。就跟扬尼斯的球品一样。
说纪录片那些人不知道你们到底看没看啊 这根本不是纪录片好吗 话说回来其实拍成纪录片会更好啊 就让这些当事人接受访谈搭配字母哥的场上场下表现都够够的了 现在的结果就是全片都比不上最后一段真实片段
把光剑还有打斗的部分去掉，增加一些家庭戏会更好一些
If It’s to help our family , I wil get that good .
电影中，戴安娜在丈夫出轨后想要挣脱皇室的牢笼，和小K试图冲破戴安娜这个人物的外壳，两者同构。前者的落脚点没有说服力，后者显露极大的不自在和不信任。最后原来是整个皇室的人都帮着戴安娜觉醒，挤兑查尔斯啊hhh爽到了。影像配合绿木的音乐很有感觉，但一想到故事和表演都很做作，作为观众也产生戴安娜/小K般的不适了。
boring as hell… 果然是Netflix做出来给人杀时间的
在某种意义上，肖恩·利维是一个非常精明的抖音系统导演，他清楚的意识到采用什么演员、背景、娱乐元素、主题才能够做出一部合格的网络大电影。他所采取的办法正是当下短视频创作团队的创作思路：拆分与重组。将80S大火的《回到未来》式的穿越冒险作为故事背景（包括配色），主打怀旧色彩（与《失控玩家》一脉相承）。再将死侍绿巨人葛摩拉等一众准一线演员找来做明星背书蹭漫威热度（漫威大牌明星出演，质量有保障，而且都是熟客）。然后将父子情，母子情，自己与自己和解等诸多感人场面以嘴炮金句贯串一气，套个《星球大战》的动作外壳（武器以及人物造型）。这种由点到面的拼盘创作思路是如此的好用且有效，你用了就出活儿，上线就有人夸，以至于各大抖音机构的老师都在传授这种以融梗为核心竞争力的创作方式。这是一种傲慢而悠然自得的不思进取。
字母哥的真实励志故事，他说“When you are a little kid, you don't see the future, right? And if you have a good parent, youer parent sees the future for you. ”。非独生子女很能体会字母哥和哥哥弟弟们的感情，友爱互助的感觉真的棒呆。Friends come and go,family forever. 不标记完就没法去游泳了，终于标记好了。
其实讲的是面对父亲的离世，在不同年龄如何面对和治愈自己。
其实作为纪录片，拍的挺一般的，不过还是觉得字母挺努力的
五星的故事却被拍成这样，抬头一看迪士尼……
这部片要是在我年龄小五岁的时候看就好了，体验感刚刚好，现在看了后，觉得是偏向儿童类型的科幻作品，甚至想加个标签，适合家庭观影的温情动作片。
中规中矩的传记电影吧，字母哥父母的刻画很细致。
这就是那种方程式电影 一些因加上固定等式结出固定果 也没毛病 也没意义
从不关注NBA，看了其他人的评论才知道是有这么号人物，一家三个都在NBA打球。电影的话，拍的很好看，典型的励志片。不要怕失败，终点到来之前一切都是未知的。
这电影挺有意思的，尤其是节奏。12 12 123 12 23 234 34……这种感觉，就像是运球在拉扯一样。由于真事改编，选的历程也真是蛮有意思。但是没能沉下去，稍微可惜点子。
作为一名扬尼斯的粉丝，五星好评是唯一的评分，当然这带了私心，但无需掩饰。一直知道扬尼斯的励志经历，通过电影，更全面的了解了扬尼斯怎样接触篮球并且如何参加选秀，机场送别那一幕，扬尼斯说我会让家人团聚，包括弗朗西斯，最终，他真的做到了，希望更多的人能看到这部电影，了解真实的扬尼斯，我相信你一定不会讨厌他，我最好的字母哥🤜🤛
无功无过合家欢，比起去年的《红色通缉令》，网飞的这部开年大作好了不知道多少倍！
把这部电影定义成《传记》是不合适的。
