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.
这个电影让我感觉很成功的一点，是群像的刻画。没有因为群戏而弱化个人的形象，也没有把过多的镜头集中在个别角色身上，导致其他角色被忽视，我可以在观影结束后记住他们每一个人，说出他们的性格特征。这就是立人物上的成功。全场最佳吴京&胡军。
感谢《长津湖》将这段历史这样好的呈现在我们面前。
愿祖国繁荣昌盛，世界和平美满
小米加步枪对上美军的大炮，怎么获胜，只能用身体啊。
震撼，回味，深思，重新换个活法…现在的我已经很幸福了
愿祖国繁荣昌盛，世界和平美满
今天下午去看的首映礼 电影长津湖完全就是我们自己真真切切的历史 对于历史较差的我 可以说是提供里一个学习有关抗美援朝历史的机会 电影更加直观 真切的让我体会到了战争的残酷和战士的英勇 他们是勇敢的 坚定的 电影完全值得IMAX 多次我感觉美军的飞机都要冲出来了 音效特高清 完全沉浸在电影里 易烊千玺完全就是天生的演员 有实力 有演技 电影里还有一些比较搞笑的点 演的都很到位 推荐这部巨作 高逼格的一部电影 让我们得知如今和平生活的来之不易
谢谢先辈们，吾辈安稳，未经历过战争。故事讲的有些乱，为了祖国情怀也值得。
为抗美援朝五颗星 需要这样的电影 也希望更多的了解这段历史 虽然真的太难受了
哪有什么岁月静好，只不过有人替你负重前行。
韩东君和欧豪真的完全没认出来…雷公牺牲和冻成雕塑的战士那部分很感人，有的地方感觉有点夸大。看完之后总体感觉不够深刻，比较表面，没有体现多少战术。场面是挺宏大的。千玺演技🉑
缺憾就是结尾太匆忙。历史中长津湖战役，美军的多次建桥是重点，期待影片中会有敌我军在争夺桥上做文章，但是并没有，这可以理解，毕竟视角不同，不能扬敌威。
看完电影第一印象就是直呼过瘾！是近年来最接近于史诗般的战争片了。虽然176分钟不到三个小时，但一点也没有觉得长，剧情有张有弛却不拖沓，战斗场面枪林弹雨，紧张刺激，扣人心弦。虽说也有煽情之处，但为数不多，且情真意切，铁铮铮的汉子光荣牺牲，怎能不感人泪下？
冗长且蓄意，一杯好酒也不必塞到我嘴边来喂我喝
看那兔时候，就因为抗美援朝部分疯狂落泪。之前只知道抗美援朝很伟大，很艰难。但是究其根底是为了什么，好像又不是很明白。很开心这几年各类影视剧陆续重新这部历史。回归作品沈本，我内心国内战争片top1，三个小时时间真的嗖就过了，全员演技在线，七连的这几位都深刻又饱满。没有刻意煽情但是还是哭了，很多可以采用历史资料的全都重景再现，战斗效果拉满，甚至看2D片看出了3D的效果。
“千里万里赴战场，如今山河已无恙”。
洋人看不起我们，尊严，要在战场上夺回来。
哪有什么岁月静好，不过是有人替我们负重前行。不论英雄，致敬军人的荣耀。
最后的冰雕连还是让我落泪了。
虽然长达三小时，但剧情流畅，全程看下来不觉得乏味无趣，三个导演的分工明确，没有衔接不自然的地方。没有刻意煽情，战争场面该有的也都有了，总体来说比较优秀。或许有瑕疵，但个人认为瑕不掩瑜。
