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.
看到朱迪科摩被强奸的戏份我后排的摩洛哥男人哈哈大笑 一种和电影的恐怖互文
大自然中一切讲究生物的平衡，而《鬼灭之刃》正是采用了这一法则。在剧情中除了九柱逐个阵亡之外，作者还将画笔转向了主角炭治郎，使其变为了即鬼舞辻无惨之后新任的鬼王，在人类牺牲巨大代价之后将大家心心向往的主角进行转变
三个人物，三个角度呈现三段故事，真相只有一个！
邱炯炯绝对是野生动物。浑然天生，随机又不间歇地溅射生命力（即使传记总是迈入死亡），影像呈现的所有更像是基于美学训练而不是“电影”学院训练，更不能拿Wes Anderson和他相提并论…与他不同，在他之外 @ Anthology
我太爱照相那段了，历史眼里没有欢笑没有人情，看到的只有更迭的政局和转交的权利
三个视角中的不同之处，固然是极为重要的，但三个视角中大段重复，也是很影响观感的。 一个女人，一个人，如果要讲对错，讲道理，分清是非，敢于争取维护个人的权益，是很难的。她受到内部的阻力，外部的羞辱，是不可想象的。帮她主持公道的官方是极为昏庸无道的，在历史上甚至是个傻子来的。帮她恢复清白的方式，是十分荒谬的。客观的对与错的判定方式，寄托在两个决斗的人的武力值上。反而印证了被生活QJ到不反抗的老妈子的一句话：从来没有什么对错，只有力量的强弱。就算是现代，这样的戏码也是多次上演的。然而详说的话，是会被河蟹的。 有些说雷公开始恰女权流量的人是很可笑的。雷公早期拍得异形就已经是在展现女子力量的。 问题来了！最新的异形什么时候上映呢！！！
4.5 今年慕尼黑电影节第一部。看之前没看简介连是部中国电影都不知道，惊喜连连，画面故事音乐都太新奇了，很有风格。不过并不知道老外能不能follow…
为什么只有低沉的时候，绝望的时候才静的下心来看完这样的励志电影，而立之年，负债累累，心累，以后除了爱护好自己的亲人，努力，努力，在努力！
世界观徐徐展开。
在Laemmle看的 川剧魔幻版霸王别姬...
决斗戏份因为此前全部的情绪铺垫和积压，两男人对打的时候看得人血脉膨胀，感觉自己就像在现场！

三段不同视角的叙事，虽有差异，但都有些流水账，张力不足。最后的高潮成功将张力牵到最大——因为两位男性的血腥厮杀，只关乎自己的利益与荣耀，和真相无关，和那个女人无关，但她却又只能为这场荒唐的决斗，赌上自己的性命和未来。何其讽刺，何其悲哀……
能在影院看到这样的华语片是一种巨大的幸福。 #SGIFF
旧时代也就过去了；
虽然最后的压轴戏决斗场面还不错，但是全片2个半小时这么长只是因为要拍三个人讲了同一件事，注水的有点过分了。（而且所谓三人的角度看同一件事也没有那种罗生门的感觉）。斯科特还在拍？84岁了，耐久力太好了简直
生死不外两茫茫
大自然中一切讲究生物的平衡，而《鬼灭之刃》正是采用了这一法则。在剧情中除了九柱逐个阵亡之外，作者还将画笔转向了主角炭治郎，使其变为了即鬼舞辻无惨之后新任的鬼王，在人类牺牲巨大代价之后将大家心心向往的主角进行转变，正是一个平衡的创作，很多粉丝都觉得，即使作为主角的炭治郎在最终一战中阵亡，换取鬼王的消灭，则更是将这部作品进行一个升华成为佳作，但反转的突如其来也是让人们意想不到的事情。除此之外，在鬼舞辻无惨成为世间第一鬼之后，已经处于无人能与匹敌的状态，打破了这个平衡的天秤，所以才会有着战国时期的天之骄子继国缘一的出现。
