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.
可以省去两小时的时间 直接看开头和结尾的动漫就足以概括甚至超越剧情了
观感蛮差的，1.5倍看挺合适，多角度叙事也没啥必要其实，就勇于表达自己的情感，不要后悔莫及的时候才领会，悼念因灾难逝去的人们。
一句影评：你死了，我才发现爱你至深，我好想你，我会按你喜欢的方式继续记录自己
冲着百合去看的
开头在厂子里出殡已经够闹得了，大长脸一出来就更看不下去了。东北的故事逃不开大金链子、该溜子、装疯卖傻，这是刻板偏见，不以为耻反以为荣。
總得來說，除了素人面對攝像機講述的那一段之外就沒有什麼特別的感想。在心裏會不自覺地拿《終歸大海》和《影裏》進行對比，雖然也沒那麽相同，總之覺得不如《影裏》。（）兩個女主之間有一種讓人煩躁的曖昧，看到結尾我都不是很能理解女主怎麼就這麽看開了。她有一種虛無空洞的看開，讓人感覺她內心還是迷茫的。總之我還蠻難共情的。不過人和景拍得確實都很美，小動畫也很精緻。能看到長髮的美波、短髮的美波、短髮染髮的美波、超短髮的美波。
这种小品式的电影不知道从何时起反而成为了网大中的一股清流。
确实是最全东北天团了。故事中规中矩，但是网大做出了电影的质感，还是挺难得的。
长春拍的吧，从前面的那种感觉就像，然后后面钓鱼的桥～后面出租车🤭实锤了，吉顺街体育学院，宽城区的澡堂子，很有质感和感觉
前后短片写出了她的一生，水似的温柔，为了回去的奔走，老者的凋零，岸边观望的她以及陪伴着她的晴好的树
终于找到了适合以后想睡觉的时候可以投屏的电影
3.5 配乐有些差....（某些地方 很出戏）
全片的笑点都在预告里了，而且只有二手月季好笑。
“写作是对离别和挽回的反复练习”，总在重建的是故事发生的时空，这部电影呈现的是事后的时空，企图将无法消化情绪影视化，影像不足以抽象到支撑，于是有了动画。大概明白它想要倾诉的是什么，是我要在分别后的同一个日期走过去和她一起走过的路，吃和她一起吃过的餐厅。海是海啸，是一个地区的灾难记忆，是摸不着又看不见却要追寻的，不敢面对又向往的，是滋养情绪的培养皿，埋葬记忆的墓地，以上能传达到共情之人，但音乐的过度使用、零散而不值篇幅的情节、表演等等都不能让我称赞它…
抖音剪辑被吸引，剧情挺有意思，就是节奏确实差点意思，有些拖沓，但同时人物塑造的不够丰满，这些时间拿来塑造人物细节应该会更有意思，感觉其实可以拍的更好。
近在咫尺的唇
也太磨叽了，节奏好慢，一度看不进去，戏剧冲突性无，就看这片好焦急怎么还没结束。
emmmm有时候想说，双视角并不是换个卡梅拉就可以了，双视角想传达的东西是不一样的，这个片子算是一点都没有传达到，其次人物特点也不算做得太好，特点不鲜明，导致了我甚至没有怀念堇的感觉，也不知道为什么要怀念堇，此处建议看看隔壁的横道世之介，还有就是如果这个片子有想表达因为海啸带走了亲人朋友而走不出来的意思在的话，倒是get到了一点，其他的就表达不出来的感觉，意识流的部分甚至吓我一跳
2星半吧，但比其他拉垮的东北尬喜剧还是高出不少水准，结合演技在线的配角和网红流量加持，还要啥自行车啊~
