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.
国产主旋律片越来越丰富了。形象虽然单调了些，但发展下去一定会更加吸引人。
失望，老片翻新，既没有新意也没有老味道，节奏陈长，战争场面毫无战术动作，和张涵予之前拍的战争电影差太多，想起来徐老怪的《智取威虎山》，既有漂亮的动作场面也不失趣味性，然而这部同样翻拍的IP太失望了，浪费了这么多好演员，导演失职
除了主演一样，其它都是无节操的模仿。
005号。中规中矩的平庸之作，打斗不爽，人物不动人，情感更是没有，至少是很难进入，张涵予说话的腔调能不能改改，太做作了，真难受。
单位组织去看的 中途有几处看得我心里面酸酸的/张涵予是一如既往的帅/范伟的演技真让我有点出乎意料/魏晨好帅哦！ 以及 华仔的主题曲/片尾曲非常惊喜
1.画面很有电影感。范伟送情报扔手雷的动作帅到炸了。在雾化的玻璃上画上镰刀铁锤宣誓的画面既庄严又充满艺术感。用冰锥除奸。
表演上范伟老师真的太出彩了，本来这样先抑后扬的角色就会非常“爽剧”非常讨喜，范伟老师又给角色注入了灵魂。可以说光是这一个角色就给电影增色不少。
两星半，我没觉得现在新拍的比以前的铁道游击队好看，论深刻，老版的铁道游击队比这片子做的到位，而且故作一些压抑的剧情反而使得整部电影的味道都有些偏沉闷
沃卓斯基：ojbk。
不能这么消费红色主旋律纪念这个纪念那个，商业自嗨凌驾于历史底色，明白的人早就明白了，愚昧的人还在继续
二十年前，“矩阵”令人不寒而栗；二十年后，人人都活在自己的“矩阵”里不亦乐乎。说到底，社交媒体的出现才是这二十年里真正的历史转折点，电影什么的连p都不是。《黑客帝国》当年的警告有用吗？最后胜利的不还是新“矩阵”？被虚无和挫败感侵蚀几乎是沃卓斯基们的必然命运，就看她们有生之年能不能走出来了。
影片的编导真心应该拉出来好好看看几十年前的《铁道游击队》，起码也能知道故事的起转承合，高潮迭起，而不是像现在一般，死气沉沉的赶脚，就算到了结尾，也没有高潮的燃点出现，既浪费了好的题材，也浪费了好演员的表演😒
第3374-范伟被抓跟日本军官在火车上互怼之前，我脑海里想的大概就是日本人来到我们国家耀武扬威的，就像邻居到我家欺负我，宁肯死也要拼了，范伟就说了出来……说得好，这也是全片最喜欢的地方。
大多数抗日题材影视一直被诟病，原因就在于不尊重历史，不尊重事实，甚至不尊重常识，不尊重观众的智商。《铁道英雄》虽不至于如此，却也没有如何。
范伟老师个人把老王的角色丰满了起来，三次点烟细微处彰显演技，没有他这个角色不会那么生动，但反之，张涵予的刻板形象就没什么看头了，感觉都一个样
人物扁平，没有任何转变，好就是好坏就是坏。声音细节被巨大的音乐掩盖，实则统一情绪的作用微弱。剧作圆满，小的情节也有头有尾。爱情线-次要情节开头不错，发展也不错，却没有结尾，也没有什么高潮。最后事情的解决出人意料，有点不合逻辑。老王人物铺垫不够，技术工中途进入能力超强显得格格不入不顺畅。总体还不错，作为观众，我被感动到了。
有腕儿，表演没毛病，翻拍，有对过去经典的情结，一看就是投资大片，不是小剧场作品，但为啥会是这种效果？症结在哪？导演格局太小，生硬加入很多动作类和谍战类商业元素，谍战类已经在近年被拍烂了，悬崖之上至少设置了一些巧妙的对弈情节，这部完全倒向了低智化，所以最后只剩下老戏骨们的苦演和无脑夸张的动作了，最终把英雄们演死，仅是上世纪电影中的老套英雄主义表现手法，为了牺牲而牺牲。而且布景多用雪景，这似乎让人感觉置身东北人而不是山东。或许真正的铁道英雄没有铁道游击队那么神勇的形象，但我更喜欢老版本的乐观主义色彩，这个有点不伦不类，过于阴郁压抑。
五星 百分百 没商量 某些情节有些卡顿也略显简单粗暴 但不影响老粉全盘吸收消化 我几乎全程都在edge of the seat前倾看完 摄影风格比前三都要“写实” 我觉得是刻意为之 — if the priors are all fantasy, now it’s damn real than ever. — “The choice is delusional. You always know what you have to do.” “The power of free mind.” 片尾字幕 导演加了一行小字: for mom and dad, “Love is the genesis of everything.” Lana牛逼👍
谈不上好。
影片画质出色，冷色的色调，偏暗的画面，让空气中弥漫着一股肃杀之气，拍摄手法也非常专业，故事剧情完整，情节跌宕起伏，充满了历史的厚重与质感。范伟老师的演技太绝了，当他饰演的老王被五花大绑押上火车，对着周政杰饰演的石头笑着说道，“臭小子，叫爹。”我的情绪立马就被感染了，眼泪不受控的流了下来，这个片段拍的太有感觉了，一个年逾花甲的老人在生命的最后仍在找寻着亲情的归宿、对自己所做之事的骄傲自豪以及对生死的从容不迫，尽显一个中国人的骨气与尊严。影片根据真实的“铁道队”队员的事迹改编，哪里有压迫哪里就有反抗，只有共产党才能救中国，也只有共产党才能带领人民团结一致，走向胜利。
