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.
精致的空洞，竟然拍了两个小时的小k抽风，no offense但这个演技就别吹了吧，如果靠着目光无神+嘴唇颤抖+歪头杀的表演模式也能杀进颁奖季，那lady gaga也能拿影后。
故事挺有趣的，很多巧合都得到了合理解释，最重要的是你希望出现的结果都没有让人失望
太cinema了！视听和音效都超级棒，要是能在大银幕看就好了。
万众瞩目，匪夷所思，千古奇冤

K和 Sally Hawkins很美 没了 电影很无趣
毛骗团队的电影最大特点就是各种铺垫，细节与伏笔，有种下暗棋最后一个个给你翻出来的快感。
这不就和马思纯演葛薇龙一样惊悚吗，去IMDB看了下，6.8……果然豆瓣评分已经不能看了
多线故事结构，从一开始就有着千丝万缕的联系，构思挺巧妙的，相比大部分的网络电影水平高了一大截，该有的笑点和反转都有，还有各种小彩蛋也很惊喜，包哥的戏份越来越多了哈哈哈，有点期待。但是不得不说可能在故事主题、色彩、调度上还需要不断进步，电影感稍微差了一点，但是原班人马加上情怀感，还是很不错的，一直在踏踏实实拍电影，从业余团队到逐渐专业化，后面的剧也快点安排上吧。
皇家《闪灵》！从另一边开门的冷藏库，到斯坦尼康的走廊，到孔雀绿的卫生间、四处逡巡的幽魂，当然还有精神分裂边缘的戴妃，她窗边惨败的面庞，以及充满噪声的无调性的音乐、高饱低差的色调、空旷压抑的超广角，帕布罗·拉雷恩对库布里克进行一种讽刺性的模仿，给出一组全然情绪性的影像。但问题也在于，这并非原创。

导演看多了 Instagram live，突发奇想说我们就按这个风格拍一部电影吧！
Lady Di之所以被人喜欢，我相信绝对不是因为她婚姻不幸福。但是导演竟然选取一个同情的视角让在伦敦barely living的我们去同情一个有着无数珠宝首饰、在肯辛顿宫住着大house的王妃。这样矫情的视角淡化了戴妃本身的人道主义光辉，反而显得粗浅而无聊。毕竟没有了所谓礼仪和财富，普通人婚姻里的一地鸡毛说不定比戴妃拥挤的”三人婚姻“更shocking的多。
戴安娜应该是「死于」不按时吃饭、不按顺序穿衣服以及经常迟到。
3.5，在遗产电影的风格下，《斯宾塞》的时间性却如同慢电影的消亡性，但又由于遗产电影的固有速率不可能被加速或减慢，因此在熟知的历史事件的阴影之下，时间被来临中的共同体加速。斯宾塞延长了威尔士王妃黛安娜这个富有象征性的名字的含义，将其推向遗产电影的反面。查尔斯王子并不在场，而是costume与“tradition”如同寄生性的符号怪物，其言说取代了作为斯宾塞自身的表述，阻止其返回（或逃向）本真，无时间性的幽灵空间。但Spencer的个人崇拜并不是帕布罗·拉雷恩这位左翼导演想要呈现的，他想要呈现的是重现一种新千年末世，关于伪装成传统的撒切尔主义，这就是为什么在影片的开场，导演首先表现军事力量仪式性地押运食材，与另一队厨师交接———拟古主义背后赤裸的国家机器。
用工整对称的画面构图来碰撞内心的杂乱 将充满浓烈迷雾的阴冷作为找回自己和下定决心的挑战
查尔斯的演员把“渣男”“王子”演绎地非常到位（尽管也不太像真实的查尔斯），小威廉演员长得有点像爱德华弗朗。
我寻思不是有个爱德华八世吗？
明明阿萨亚斯把克里斯汀·斯图尔特调教得好好的，为什么在这部片子里又成了这副鬼样子？所有纤细闪动的微表情非但没有表现出王妃的敏感痛苦的内心活动，反倒显得无比地做作、神经质。
美国郑爽还是跟以前差不多吧，不能说原地踏步，也学了个耸肩膀新招，跟经典的边摇头边说话弄了个组合拳，配上神经质的全程气音，打得人魂飞魄散
