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.
套路的励志片了，但是这么多本人出演也是很有诚意了，几场选拔赛拍的不错，就当是为秋季的slam dunk积攒情绪吧。绝不要质疑Sandler的演技和台词功力。
很好看！喜欢看nba的会更喜欢～演员表个个都是as himself也挺有趣
詹姆斯和桑德勒制片，大票球星客串，围绕教练和球员二人及两者家庭的故事属于行活水平，拍得也差强人意，真实和虚构的结合也是主要看点，中间加长的训练段落剪辑不错，干净有力，节奏恰到好处，比较有意思的其实是片子所涵盖的NBA球队的运作体系和商业逻辑，但本片只做到了流于表面的展示，没有深挖内里的阴暗面，也是某种献礼片了（毕竟75周年）
很多球星只是单单出镜，就像路边顺路拍下来一样，跟主角故事走向有关系却的只有华子，从nba球迷的角度来看也没多太大意思
比较老套的体育励志电影 和字母哥的传记片同期上映。显得这部电影还没有那部传记来的传奇和不容易。 好几个NBA球星客串倒是挺好玩 大鲨鱼的新闻台 德克的视频 艾佛森的小视频 吹杨的小客串。
虽然剧情很刻意，但是电影看着很舒服，对于一个运动电影该有的元素都有了。也有不少NBA梗，艾佛森的practice ，巴斯家族的宫斗，对一个球迷来说球探的日常也很新奇，正好今年国内还有几位要冲击NBA的。电影请了不少球员和教练客串，大博班是最有笑点的，之前和基努演对手戏就挺逗的，爱德华兹演反派挺有代入感的，就是华子故意慢下来让埃尔南戈麦斯盖帽好出戏，像是2k出了动画一样。值一提的是，主角胡安埃尔南戈麦斯实在让我这个路人没好感，之前休赛季拍电影，想带伤打国家队然后回球队躺着拿钱，又说凯尔特人内部不和，不知道配合他的那些全明星会不会尴尬。
nba大型宣传片，do you love this game？故事稍显老套，不过体育题材就是这样，也不能说是太大缺点，作为篮球迷看看nba球员平时是怎么训练的，还有这么多名人堂以及现役球星客串还是很精彩的。另外当你在野球场大杀四方，人群中走出一个中年人跟你说我是球探你想打nba么，是每个篮球少年的梦想吧
3.5，虽然剧情走向真的太predictable了，但亚当桑德勒的表演真的看待很舒服
运动励志片永远是这个框架 换成足球就是《一球成名》 但也挺好的 闲暇时候看一看
找了一个合适的切口让更多人去了解一位NBA球员是如何炼成的，但就真的，一切尽在预料之中，可能还不如走《德鲁大叔》那种娱乐向的路数……唯一亮点真就是华子的表演呗……
剧情推进中规中矩，但体育类励志片基本都能拍出彩，因为通过剪辑，可以轻松展现从菜鸟到大神的进化。片中亚当奉献了精神的演出，从一名过气球星的郁闷，到发现了新星，再到炒掉傻吊老板，最后峰回路转在新星身上实现了自己梦想的延续，把这一过程演得入木三分。
第一次觉得打篮球打好了是真的帅！！虽然剧情可以一眼望到头，但是还是让人看的热血沸腾，这种励志的童话故事永远都让人看不腻。
剧情还是足够简单单纯好猜，球星不少。主角是个NBA的小配角。
埃尔南戈麦斯 在NBA里打球一般，但是外形和演技确实让人眼前一亮啊~~看见一众NBA球星，也算是一种满足。爱德华兹满嘴恶毒垃圾话还真是豁得出去。
原来男主就是给《精灵旅社》Dracula配音的搞笑天王Adam Sandler……如今，他联手LBJ一起当制片人，拉来联盟里面的各种熟脸大咖，演一则NBA球探伯乐相马的好故事。
豆瓣er们打分太mean了吧！以及我爱体育！
3星半，故事老套，但是体育精神值的一看。对于NBA的球迷而言，这就是宝藏电影吧！
华子的垃圾话太扎心了，最后结局也是寻常套路了，实际的话前两次机会没了就真的没了。
17 July 2022。四顆半星 我不愛看籃球 卻被電影後半段抓得呼吸不上來 大概是好怕這樣命運這樣坎坷的人會繼續淹沒在芸芸眾生裡 不得不說亞當斯大哥真的是演啥都有內味兒 從路人轉粉 。
这是看过所有NBA球星参演的电影里，大家演得最自然的一部了
