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.
好多不合逻辑的世界观设定 但看个乐子还OK
是非常非常典型的皮克斯动画创作套路，也的的确确非常有用，除此之外角色的设定也非常有趣，加上极具动画假定性的表演形式，以及对二维技法的应用，使其看起来还是非常别具一格的，另外其中还有不少迷影情节。
以前我没得选择，现在我想做一个好人。老少咸宜的合家欢动画片，放在当前的内地院线真是可惜了。
和希希在电影院看的又一场电影，但是更适合大人看，小孩在思维上不一定能够理解影片的主题……
大体剧情老套，甚至荷兰猪教授作为大好人一出场，就知道最后可能会反转。但一些小地方设计的真的很有趣，电影看下来既省心又开心。wolf是真的帅，看着他完全能理解了福瑞控的心情了。全场最佳女州长戴安。
【1.5】惊呆了，简直胡拍一通。像在看糟糕一百倍的费里尼，更何况我本就不喜欢《阿玛柯德》以及《浪荡儿》。
我喜欢灰狼和狐狸戴安跳舞那一段，和最后陨石被炸狂风席卷时，蛇吐信子的那个场景，这个吐信子真是好酥啊。戴安狐狸是全片我最爱的角色，狂拽的猩红之爪是她，迷人大气的州长也是她，啊，我的女神，真是拜倒在你的裙子和战衣之下了。还有几句话我也喜欢，“都是我们光明正大偷来的。”“现在我知道被偷是什么感觉了。”哈哈，你们太可爱了。还有那个鲨鱼也太有戏了，直接来了一个即兴表演“我要生孩子了！”而奖杯从裙子里掉出来后，“我的宝贝！”以及后来哇哇大哭时用小小的手拿着冰棍嗦嗦的样子，这段萌死我了，那么庞大的身躯撅着大嘴嗦着小冰棍。蜘蛛妹妹毛茸茸的，和戴安狐的那趟“女生之旅”看着好爽，下次带我一个啊。我就喜欢看帅妹子飚摩托车，比如超人总动员2的弹力女孩。都是又飒又帅又美又性感。
近期去看的所有电影里最不会出错的电影，老少皆宜。
这部片子最让我震惊的是那不勒斯人竟然随时随地里面穿着泳衣，走着走着就会突然跳到海里游泳？？？？
7.5 甜蜜八部半两连发，想当年变浪荡儿，once upon a time in Naples，海傍万点灯光，多凄美、的境况。
3.5星。合格以上的动画电影，结构、形象各方面还是很套路化。可以带着小朋友去看。虽然电影院只有不到十个人，还是听见了小朋友的笑声。看过了《疯狂动物城》，不看这部也没关系。
似乎少年在世俗家庭中怀着理想主义情愫成长的意大利电影实在有点多。也许正是因为半自传才导致它对很多冗余的细节舍不得割舍，又没有那个期待看到的“上帝视角”把主角拉到另一个层面看待世界。只有“上帝之手”踢进了一个球显示了带着嘲讽意味的神迹。但对于非足球迷来说，马拉多纳、足球和上帝的观念一样都可观赏但无法为之动容。
点开的前十分钟就后悔了，为什么要点开。整个故事实在太低幼了。从内核到叙事到画风到逻辑上的低幼。如果非要说优点，即使不通顺不合逻辑转折生硬，但至少塞了足量的剧情，没有在一个小点上做太多的气氛煽动。
很尬很幼稚 不值得去影院看 （ps 这片真的需要3D吗？如果是2D考虑多给一颗星……
标准套路的动画（褒义），大盗集团各有所长分工明确，最大的好人反而是最大的坏人，一见钟情，反转再反转，毛茸茸的动物。把这些经典的元素和桥段做好也是一种明智的拍法。食人鱼情急之下开嗓大秀歌喉那里有笑到。
如此工整的动画在2022显得弥足珍贵，乐呵乐呵就完了。
跟走私的浪荡儿在海上荡舟，走私者闭上眼滑稽又纯真地模仿着“海船时速200公里的声音”，是我最喜欢的段落。
和珍珍两人瘫在沙发（床）上一边吃卤鸡爪西瓜膨化食品桃子瓜子儿一边看，老头的快乐！
就还可以。。
工整流畅的福瑞控同人，到了动画里奥卡菲娜还是那个边缘亚裔技术宅角色，这就是好莱坞
