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.
虽然拍的一般，但是丝毫不影响我喜欢冰天雪地极地求生类型的片子。
The bear. The bear! One shot. Don't miss.
观影感还是不错的，最后的心理斗争，期待，无助，绝望，刻画的确实很到位！
很喜欢这种探险的故事 冰原的冷冽画面很美 有点想起来《北海鲸梦》 但是剧情没有北海鲸梦那么刺激 好在这部里面他们有足够的物资保障 房子衣服食物 不至于互相残杀 虽然是根据真实事件改编但还是略平淡
了解了一段历史，但是电影有点无聊。下次拍成个纪录片试试
这部电影感觉并没有我想象中的那么好看，本以为结局很好，可惜不在我预想之内
导演的人生也很精彩，台词丰富有趣，前面节奏好，剧情发展后半段有点控制不太稳
真实经历应该很曲折，但电影并没有表达出来。
我跟Father Stu一样，冲着女主来的，那个演玛利亚的也好看，关注了！没想到梅尔吉布森也在里面，他仿佛还是我最爱的那个《致命武器》里的Riggs,在房车里握着酒瓶颓废醒来，突然感觉这片可以做《致命武器5》,Riggs跟老婆生了两个娃，结果夭折一个，另一个也很操蛋。结尾曲蛮好听，有个像《好莱坞往事》桥段一样的彩蛋
2022年居然整了个校园剧？！逆穿越网飞不愧是你
女主真的很坚强。
OMG我真的好喜欢这个！！今天好开心！！！！！我想象的我的37岁也是这个样子的！！！！

99 if u know u know 评分低因为这部电影都不是给豆瓣观众看的
冲着马克看的，也不知道原来导演也好看。这样的宗教性质的传记，走未无神论者的我来说，不可能有什么共情。毕竟我对真实人物也不认识，对宗教也不感兴趣
I’m not a god person
真实故事改编，马克沃尔伯格演的很努力，倒是父母的配角很亮眼
其实整件事看不出太多的惊心动魄，到最后就是为了一个很不职业的疏忽而多耗了1年多，有点点乏味。同类型影片，绝对比不上《地心引力》。
雖說真的是忍住無數次尷尬才終於看完，形式上還是很chick flick，只是多了懷舊，加上一個雞湯結尾。但這種片的好處是，看完總是不會心情差。輕鬆然後給自己一點boost的小品。
竟然很好看…37岁的青少年，没有奇幻色彩。
