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.
虽说不是这类影片的受众，但是导演和创作团队的用心程度大大超出了网大水准。打斗戏的设计，兵器的设计，加上带有西部片风味的配乐颠覆了以往观众对网大的认知。
这个年代还愿意拍武侠片，到如此程度，不易了
从来没有见过全黑人的美国西部片，实在是太装腔作势而且男男女女都长得很丑，这就是好莱坞的政治正确？
西北刀客的武侠故事。有点古龙小说的味道。作为腾讯视频独播的小制作，这种质量已经算不错了。
故事很简单，打戏是真的用心，良心之作，值得一看。
“他妈的又戳我这里！”哈哈哈哈……
感谢网飞，完美无瑕的戏剧配乐，星光熠熠的华丽卡司，台词、剪辑、调度拳拳到肉的酣畅体验

没报什么期望看完后居然觉得有惊喜，索然剧情俗套但看得出诚意满满，三星的水准是有的。其中台词不乏亮点，“他妈的，又捅这里。”“命运都是幻像，一切早已发生”，不错。
《东邪西毒》+《倭寇的踪迹》+《绣春刀》，可能还有一点《双旗镇刀客》，拍摄得很用心，动作设计可圈可点，演员有型但表演略差，可惜剧本毁一切。
低配绣春刀，及格了，比目中无人好。目中无人这么瓦塔居然都上7分了，这片我只有多给一星才公道。
不太行，没有目中无人好看，武打确实也好，但剧情有点狗血。
刷新了我对网络电影的观感，看得出有在努力的拍一部好片给观众，比一堆无厘头的网大强多了，满星鼓励
武侠片已经成为历史了，扶不起来啦。不建议看，最多三星。
我觉得画风，运镜，配乐演技都还不错，很有大片的感觉。武打的话刚开场和坟头的决斗不错，最后那场打的有点乱。人物的行为逻辑比较拧巴，最明显的就是陆谦，来来回回不知道再搞啥，使得剧情不是那么令人信服。不过还是要挺下导演，希望下一部能补足短板，好看的武侠片不多啊。
至於劇情...，樓上簡介都說完了~
打斗不浮夸，不错的，最后让小孩死是为了补偿么?
故事不算新，全体黑人有点太刻意了吧。配乐和画面是比较出彩的。
小成本武侠电影能拍到这个程度真的很不错了。虽然借鉴了很多风格，有点杂糅，但是整体武侠片的气质还是完整呈现出来了。值得花时间一看。
伪西部片。一群黑人浮夸地自娱自乐，意淫而自得。崭新的房屋，絮絮叨叨的对白，偶尔还有点所谓幽默，时不时的还要唱两句！唯一的惊喜，来自结尾，乔峰变萧峰！
