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.
单位组织观看的。感受就是故弄玄虚，这啥呀这是，啊？
BJIFF2021第十六场。淡化人物和叙事，完整的美学体验。一部试验性作品。北影节最佳摄影预定。
好久没看电影迟到过了（裂开）......
作为个体的人在战争硝烟中显得渺小，但人的坚定意志却可以战胜悲剧性的命运，用情义、勇气和信念塑造另一番天地。演员的面容时而消融在幽暗的微光中，正凸现出在故事的规定情境里、在时代的无情滚轮中，单一的个体有多么脆弱。可无数个“他”还是没有放弃，因为真理的召唤总是引领着他前行。影片的情境很像写意的山水画，从视听感知的层面对传统类型片的模式进行了创新，从逼真性的角度提升了演员对特定人物的理解与体悟。对于像我这样审美先行的观众而言，风格语汇的创新和主旨内容的扎实同样重要，而这部影片能让我看到主创们的用心和诚意。
电影不能只有美，如果单独的极致可以代替一切，那可能这个世界很快就会失去平衡
但是片尾这里必须活！
5.5
一部好的摄影作品，水墨红军，雕塑感，戏剧化处理，极其敏感的造型意识。但却是一部很平庸的故事，纸片人设定，一路黑下去，毫无节奏可言。调度做的出色，但技术问题很多，焦点跟不上，光做的前后镜头不匹配，画面接不上。一句话，90分钟的国美毕设
承认美院对电影积极有益的探索，但电影是综合艺术，再好的影像也会因为声音的缺陷而失色。
比较晦涩，想表达的东西太多，结果四不像。想影射党内的路线之争，想讲人性在战争环境的挣扎，又想表现战争的残酷，又太注重美学构图。还想夹带私货，KMT大喊我是自己人。可能做的好的地方只有方言，还有步枪射击的子弹嗖嗖的音效。最后那个血雨染红真的不懂，都说了电影是镜头语言，最后想说什么，革命道路是献血染红的？天上下血雨是为啥？我理解可能就是纯粹为了所谓艺术的美，而美，没有服务于故事。二星差不多了……我没花钱，要不就一星了。
至少三星，不知道是不是很像胶片拍的，质感真的很好，很多地方都很舒适不刻意
美术设计当然算是特色，但横向对比水墨风不如国师《影》，油画美术质感不如扎导《斯巴达300》，成本差距当然能作为部分理由，但能让人眼前一亮的设计着实不多，只是总体风格足够统一，不过命题作文能够有所表达，对人性略有挖掘，实属不易
这东西都能被吹上天，国产真没救了
但与电影主流文化看上去有些许“另类”
逆行在悲凉大山深林深处的孤勇者
运用大量空镜头渲染气氛 尤其注意构图 很多镜头都有绘画的质感 对于战士的群像塑造可以说是成功的 作为一个“人” 他们在面对集体的利益和个人的生死时会有动摇 当然 最后任务的成功也是不令人意外的 结尾引人思考 P.S. 院线版一些镜头切换似乎有瑕玼
对不上口型的台词是真实感崩塌的开始。所有所谓的诗性的意向，蛇落水尸体想自己开枪等主角内心的外化段落都因为洪班长人物的未建立而显得空洞。结尾一人一句誓师大会又暴露了导演没想好到底是要群像还是个人的犹豫视角。血雨有点想起红van。
“年轻的红军战士洪启辰接到军令，必须在48小时内炸毁敌人的弹药库。这是一条赴死的军令……”为何是48小时，而不是46小时？那时候战士人人都有手表，可以精确计时？直接说两天不好吗？
就真的还好 影像上是有些有意思的想法 不过也不能指望主旋律有多少出格吧
真正意义上的“灾难”片，所有的无脑文艺片元素堆砌在一起也无法掩饰叙事的失败，所谓的“诗意”不是调低饱和度就能建构起来的，无处不在的烟雾没有多大意义，只能说明剧组一氧化碳储量丰富。人物的塑造极其扁平，演技更是加重了人物突兀。配乐和方言更是无力吐槽。所谓48个小时的计划倒是如同合算证明一样迎合了当今时代的主题，意味着多了一分钟就会被赋“红”码，如果从这个角度解读，得个最佳影片倒也合适。
