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.
故事简单，服美乐还行，看看暴力，还有一两个香艳镜头
北欧版《王子復仇记》，神神叨叨，泥泞又昏暗。
内容平平淡淡，环境服装道具算好看，说白了就是视觉向长视频。
打斗软绵无力犹如儿戏，人物刻画几乎没有，最出色的就是摄影了。我先走一步。
哦我对这冗长的神神叨叨的史诗叙事风格的异域的王子复仇记真的提不起什么兴趣来。打来打去就那个村子几十号人。
地狱里又多了桩桩件件的冤魂！铁人三项拉练拯救不了肤浅的哈姆雷特。哈姆雷特曾经是我学习外国文学时期最喜欢的文本之一，本片作为年度期待，和挪威本土文化融合的方式却仅限于浮光掠影：用了文字和音乐，却不肯妥协最重要的语言；想表达反抗和叛离，又亲手将男主堕为弑母弑童的复仇机器。导演还是比较适合去拍冰岛风光大MV，景别切得挺带劲，配乐也不错的。
《维京传奇》艺术电影版；篇幅略长，特别是讲述一个相对简单熟悉的“哈姆雷特”故事，服化道和对北欧神话传奇的还原很真实。3星半吧。
一言难尽，甚至感觉很矫作，也许这就是“仪式感”吧
I don't get Robert eggers
梁朝伟很稳，剧情合理，中国文化能够很好融合到好莱坞电影，终于，漫威get到中国文化了。
但还是值得一看！
看完对Björk的音乐有了更多（？）的理解；冰岛风光拍得很美
古朴苍凉，雄浑恢宏，神秘主义和浪漫主义的丝线交织，血气与柔情的独特融合。
导演与片方的撕扯总是没有好的结果，脱离了A24制作上的把控本片提供的视听效果完全败给去年更加纯粹的《绿衣骑士》，冰岛远景的长镜头摄影毫无新意。本来期待罗伯特·艾格斯与安雅的再次合作，安雅却完全沦为了港陆合资片里的大陆女演员，纯纯的女工具人范本，献出的裸背毫无惊艳可言。直到最后两裸男在地狱之门前的盘肠大战，也只能带来一个哈欠。
你将看到《花木兰》《卧虎藏龙》《别告诉她》《摘金奇缘》《一代宗师》《功夫熊猫》以及。。。《哥斯拉》等等组成的好莱坞有史以来最眼花缭乱的一锅中西结合超级大乱炖！
雄性荷尔蒙爆炸！大概是今年最神奇的观影体验之一，再次证明世上没有老套的故事，只有老套的讲述方式
漫威竟能能拍出这么好看的中国奇幻！！电影院直接把我直接看哭了🥺🥺🥺🥺每个人都给我去看三遍！！
老父亲被新型电信诈骗，不先进行劝导而是转头就要打死亲爸血债血偿的行为真是好迷惑。还有，热爱泊车没人为你骄傲，只有拯救世界才能装逼成功。结尾有抖音今天爱答不理明天高攀不起的反转那味了。
舒梅切尔复仇记，西方宗教鬼神宿命仪式，最空洞无聊的剧情，完全和宏大史诗不沾边，那么小一个农场，还没崇明一个草莓园大的地方还能称王称霸。。。烂片一部
导演仿佛是高预算版肯爵爷，成片质量和《绿衣骑士》差了一百个《天国王朝》，又一个形式大于内容的换皮莎剧片。
