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.
emmmmmmm不太好评价，就是。。。输出全靠打嘴炮
嗯 苏文兴就算是离家创业，无能这个人设也丝毫没有改变，靠着高甜才能做起来，而且方法上和剧版比没有太多新意，不过是男女方换一下位置。简单看一下吧。
墨西哥人对于宗教类的恐怖片还挺有一套的，惊喜程度不亚于以前的《别西卜》，在惊悚氛围超过了同期的《恐怖地窖》 。影片是一次很大胆的尝新，第一次见到有人这样设计魔鬼的造型以及最后的反向驱魔，对比同类型电影手松一点的话，给个3.5星也是可以的
没有流量，好的编剧把不讨喜的角色也能延续出好看的故事!
怎么能把驱魔片拍的无聊，那就是这样了。逻辑真的难理解，而且驱魔过程跟freestyle的battle一样。
但剧情进行的乏善可陈，且皆是“吓一跳”，恐怖感营造缺乏，后面直接变成丧尸片，可惜。
故事是有感染力的，神父的愧疚跟不安展现得非常好。画面其实可以更大胆更放开一点，驱魔的过程有点可笑，完全就是神经病一般的乱吼乱叫。
牧师的牺牲也没得到上帝的加持，驱魔手段还是靠吼，魔鬼和上帝的附体都认为对方该被驱逐，搞笑。
期待赘婿2 这部讲的吉吉国王 吉吉国王和他爹 在一部我一直感觉搞笑担当hhhh 羽绒服 已经感受到 后面商战气息 大鹅一出我笑了
一部很稳的住的爱情喜剧，是正统电影的节奏质感，又有网络电影的趣味性，好看的！
靠着吉吉国王的演技和赘婿IP撑起的一部番外剧，哈哈哈，看的好开心，腾讯当年选择了肖战的斗罗大陆，而抛弃了不看好的赘婿，肖战身为男主角演技竟然如此尴尬，全程跟个傻子一样啊！啊！啊！的叫，不论演什么情节永远都是在瞪眼睛，尴尬演技+5毛钱特效简直看的我想吐，而赘婿却看的我好开心，不论郭麒麟、铁娘子、还是吉吉国王父子这种小配角，全程演技在线，真是难得，如今这个信息化爆炸的年代，不管你是主角还是小配角，只要是金子总会让人看到的，而靠一张帅气的脸蛋来浑水摸鱼就一定会挨骂，没有对比就没有伤害。演员是演员，明星是明星，完全两码事。
一开始觉得只是洗白苏文兴，看下来感觉还不错，不比正剧差，演员整体都在线，高父在婚礼上开心不起来的微表情。

还可以，还是喜剧风格好看，比《赘婿》电视剧后半段有趣多了。
驱魔的电影看过不少，此片却是从反面来叙述驱魔仪式。导演似乎如剧中神父一样未想明白，因此一直在摇摆，逻辑上亦有些混乱。彼得神父罪孽很大，不仅在十八年前驱魔时所犯下的重罪，还在于他内心对于信仰的一直不坚定，作为神父竟然不忏悔内心之恶，隐藏着难以言说的秘密。他只能靠行小恩惠来赎罪，因此很难得到神的原谅，最后只能与恶魔做交易。电影构思还是不错的，影像还行，不过叙事太过啰嗦了。
2021.8.20 义乌小商品都开啦，距离第二部还远吗？
男主真的体现了一些现代商业思维，毕竟谁能想到在古代开二手交易市场呢？男主真的很聪明。
赘婿宇宙有点意思，制作也不错，演员表演都在线，超出预期。很多梗脑洞都比较大，互联网出来也是笑死，有笑有泪在七夕看还挺应景的，期待一下第二季了。
赘婿的同人片，有笑点，剧情结构尚可，但是很多梗比较老，比较败好感。
这个导演感觉水平还可以，把一部小成本的电影故事线编的很精彩，尤其的开头的时候，真的笑点密集。
