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.
影帝模仿到位了。成名后回访师匠的那段戏挺好。丨所有歌舞段落直白偏冗长，为何不设计进行信息传达。丨被人笑和逗人笑是有本质区别的，大抵在有没有尊严上。丨鲸
讲述北野武早期的经历，着重表现在法兰西座跟师父学艺，逐步成长，最后自己单飞全国出名，这种离别跟师徒间的情感，着实动人
所有经历都促成他长歌当哭的情绪内核。

行；实景拍效果也很赞！强力推荐了！！！#向
北野电影里常现踢踏舞原来是纪念恩师。
志愿军战士致敬
和《火花》差不多的架构，都是以师徒情为主线，讲对喜剧梦想的坚守。《火花》太着重讲创作和表演本身，这部对此就只是略过，重点在人物情感和作为谐星的骄傲，更容易进入。两部结局一个失败一个成功，对创作者来说，终究还是才华比努力重要得多吧，对师父最好的传承就是超越他、颠覆他。以为老年北野武肯定是北野武本人出镜，看到最后才发现不是，为啥不能亲自致敬一下师父还要年轻人费劲化老妆啊？
1.本质上属于密闭空间类型，很考验剧作功力，一番又一番，除了后半段坦克部分，稍显那啥；2.克制，没有强行煽情硬凹，这是功力；3.音乐气氛的营造印象深刻。4，人物群像点到为止，虽然套路，但清晰明了，意思明白了。
很喜欢 不枉费翘班来看 对狙的斗智斗勇 个人精神和超高技艺体现得淋漓酣畅
2星成片质量+1星致敬先烈，前调起得还行，剧情线该展开的时候，没有深挖或多角度描写，只是简略地单线叙述，导致了正反派各个人物显得很单薄。最重要的是，新兵用一杆机瞄步枪杀穿美军加一辆坦克这段没拍好，可能史实如此，但导演整得就像挂哥开透视与加速一样...
最后的红色高跟鞋call back我差点哭了。之前看又吉直树的「火花」那本书，说是这个行业永远都是师傅请客。所以电影里也几次有这个桥段，他师傅看到两人练习晚回家，于是穿好自己的衣服，假装偶遇，请他们吃饭。还有最后，虽然是收下了小武的那笔奖金，送他去坐出租车的时候还是给他钱付车费，然后说如果有零钱，拿回来还我，是说再回来看看我的意思。
影片剧情，节奏，演技都不太行，2星，额外1星给抗美援朝伟大的先辈
遗照的使用方式最棒：给你一个表情你自己去体会。就这么被励志酱了——北野武老师。细细一想还挺漫的。
北野武的个人特色太过强烈，真不是很好演的，影帝太精致了总少了很多感觉。单纯从这片来说，师傅这个角色更有存在感和魅力一些吧。
前半段小武学徒生涯，后半段成名与师傅的和解。简单却又令人感动。为梦想奋斗的故事永远令人热泪盈眶，师傅的牺牲是阿武腾飞的温床，而他永远也赶不上下一个时代，悲剧性就在于此。师徒传承令人感动，选角极其成功。相比较同样题材的《火花》，更好进入，没有那么绝望，那么悲伤。
从始至终没发现有哪个方面是好的，还有那个子弹特效真是画蛇添足
还行，场景比较简单，就是敌我两组狙击手在一处阵地上斗智斗勇。
张艺谋导演拍摄的纪念抗美援朝的电影，整部电影几乎采用四川方言，很有熟悉的感觉，以小人物为出发点，以小见大，与传统的电影相区别，挺不错，很好看！
以为只是个开头的小故事 没想到就是整部电影了
