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.
当全球影视都在文艺复兴哈哈哈哈，凯奇:我复兴我寄几！
但是为什么这片可以让我看我
虽然比姆逃亡路上遇到拉朱的未婚妻太巧合，越狱那段略夸张，但是还是很感人很好看，两人人都为了自己坚持的目标而奋斗，挺像神奇的动物邓布利多和格林德沃的对决，不过还好两人误会消弭。
影片名字就是《燃燃燃》了，还有啥好说的，双男主设定的题材很新颖。印度的电影基本都是这样的！别指望什么牛顿之类的，是神的国度，脑洞有多大，电影就有多爽。。
为了养眼还是一分钟不拉下看完，结论就是：日、日、日，这也行！
我以为影片用意是要让人民武装起来搞场大革命推翻英国殖民者，结果还是两个孤胆英雄你救我、我救你、然后干翻英国大本营
很《喜劇之王》，一面是演員事業的困境與野心，一面是被意外捲入的黑幫事件，區別是，一個是龍套演員的奮鬥史，一個是過氣巨星的翻身仗。Nicolas Cage、他扮演的Nicolas Cage、他扮演的諸多電影角色，形成了有趣的三重關係，尤其是看到他在電影中自我調侃、自我嘲諷、自我解構，會有種經歷魔幻時刻的真假難辨，可惜，後半部分太類型化了，結局的底也太常規了。PS.《卡里加里博士的小屋》值得被所有人喜歡！PPS.《帕丁頓熊2》也值得被所有人喜歡！
可以对标几年前的“灾难艺术家”。原本三流的特工犯罪剧本，因尼古拉斯·凯奇饰演尼古拉斯·凯奇，而生出化腐朽为神奇的喜剧效果。从分裂出的自恋人格，到惯性调侃自己的电影，我们知道他演了很多烂片，他知道我们知道他演了很多烂片，最好笑的是导演假装不知道...
明白了为什么加勒万河谷的三三们
有些特效还不错，音乐可以，能感觉出印度人民的那种民族自豪感，就是有点夸张，有点神，感觉再给编剧两个小时时长，这片可以拍到印度占领伦敦。。。
好燃哈哈哈 有的画面蛮美，看到了巴霍巴利的影子
桥下救人佩服三哥的想象力，后面天神下凡也是燃值拉满了，突然觉得三哥很不容易，真真的被殖民了那么多年啊
此片为印度抗英“神剧”不在于逻辑性，但注重观赏性（所以影院观看视听会很爽，如同夏日里的冰可乐，但回味起来就是糖水！）。剧情：“胡子兄弟”的抗英传奇故事（的确有《巴霍巴利王》元素……）其实借此从另外一个角度说明一下，印度电影还是很强的，片长基本3个小时左右，如同短剧集合。如果换成其他的影片，相信大多都会导致结构松散，招架不住，败下阵来！（能把神剧拍摄的如此唯美，由此我到是希望我局讨厌的咱们的抗日神剧也拍出这样。影片在当前俄乌冲突时期的推出，不知多少会有点意图吧。）
献上我的膝盖！太牛了！不仅是壮烈的民族史诗，更是浪漫唯美的bromance，三个小时毫无尿点，一旦不去在乎那些夸张的部分，你会发现这是一部极美、极有血性张力的电影！一群野兽从笼子里跳出来和化身箭神的那两个画面，我估计会记一整年，太特么有冲击力了！动作设计、美术、摄影更是肉眼可见的用心，每个打斗场面都极有设计感，极力推荐。
和前作《巴霍巴利王》风格一样，夸张的动作场面极大的释放了民族情绪，这力度不输吴京。就是3个小时太长了。
场面夸张是夸张了点。
最多两颗星了，这片子居然是今年的票房冠军，阿三们的智商太让人捉急了！看评论说历史上真的有这两人存在，那印度早就该统治大英帝国，不不不，应该是统治全地球了！我也不明白英国人居然不抗议，好死不死，一个英国人向印度人挑战跳舞，我都快疯了！看完本片真的能头脑发热的民众应该从来不懂历史，英国压迫印度是真，然而印度几乎没有像样的反抗，而且至今仍以英联邦国家为傲，也不是印度自己争取的独立，而是英国经过二战后为了甩包袱强迫印度独立！
想给四颗星，但是开挂不合理的地方实在是太多了
无数次忍不住自言自语道：真tm牛逼！尤其是双塔大战，卧槽真太tm牛逼了！
印度咖喱原味唱跳 太给力了 无歌舞不印度 ，印度战虎在线开挂大战带英殖民者 射手雷 这创意不错。 从头到尾都在开挂又如何，看得爽就完了！成本和票房都很高啊。
