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.
恶心恐怖的内容，经过隐晦文艺的呈现，以及魔幻的BGM，就能造就一部文艺片。
总结：远离苟男人（看清楚再对线昂，别对号入座），因为他们只想得到你们的肉体。好姐妹yyds！
瑕不掩瑜，温暖且甜且可爱。而且喜欢的演员太多了，好评！
前半段的爱情小清新到后半段的变态食人盛宴， 男女主颜值身材配一脸，调情部分的各种特写确实非常会。 惊悚题材拍的美绝， get了384不同于冬兵的性感，整体情节虽然bug很多，但实在是太养眼所以食用还是很爽。
当大兄弟把这部电影展现在我面前时，
喜剧确实很喜剧，恐怖就差一点，上一次看包子果体还是体操动作。
很fresh的观感，联想到2000年代的一些电影。最后的部分可以更好。Daisy 真的好好看。Sebastian 终于接到好剧本！
有笑有泪，大家演技都太好了！代入感太强了！
三星半。好剧本但拍的不够精致，穿帮镜头有点多：女主割掉了屁股还能走能坐、双手戴着手铐还能自己穿上长袖连衣裙😂鱿鱼游戏里富人是付钱观赏杀人游戏+卖肾，这里是富人吃人肉，都是富到极致后追求另类刺激的异曲同工，恐怕现实中也一定有这样的组织
不够吓人呐！最后一段那啥被那啥之后，不是应该喷血暴毙嘛。
其中混杂的清新式仿讽在形式上为本不“新鲜”的内容加入了一些别样的风味，但过于强烈的意识形态煽动性使得其叙事基底与内容本身矛盾重重，变成喜剧，也许是一种必然。
啥玩应啊！说它恐怖吧！还挺搞笑。说它好笑吧！还真恶心。吃人肉吃的都口臭还吃呢！
完全临摹《逃出绝命镇》，只不过把社会隐喻从种族迫害换成了女性剥削。不够“新鲜”，反而是文艺手法包装下非常套路的猎奇惊悚片，小清新都市爱情到重口味烹食人肉画风突变，经历半小时冗长铺垫才进入正题，中间稀碎的叙事节奏让人提不起劲儿，许多点到即止的无用细节可以精简。男主斯文伪装下的变态癖好、下药囚禁、闺蜜上门调查被抓、包括最后见过无数次的逃脱反杀，所有情节转折都在预料之中。最可惜的是，导演本有大把可供继续挖掘的点，却选择了一个最为稳妥平庸的结局，设定沦为强行匹配这个故事的噱头，深度和爽度都没做好，还不如彻底放开剑走偏锋。电影在血腥暴力程度方面还是偏向克制，一丁点也没给人生猛刺激的感觉，倒是现实里或许真的存在这种地下黑色产业链条，细思恐极。
无论是对疫情的描写还是对人物的刻画，都显得恰到好处，女导演的视角真的是很细腻，一部很舒服的故事片。
这年头汉尼拔们都找供应商了？？这种警示电影多点挺好。不要轻易相信陌生人呀。
不惊悚，也不恶心，从男的打包肉的状态能看出他有点洁癖，女主屁股肉被割了一会儿趴着一会儿又能坐着，举手投足间对男主还是情分难了的样子，可能因为塞巴斯蒂安实在太帅了吧。
挺特别的一次观影体验，倒不是说本片的内容有多惊世骇俗，而是我在观看中不断想到其他电影。片名在33 分钟出现，以此为界影片画风急转，接着很快把核心创意吐了出来——这是全片风格化最好的部分，先前的都市爱情就刻画得不错，于是接棒的都市传说也显得有力量。优雅与残暴、救治与杀戮、爱欲与贪婪……我在很长一段时间里联想到的都是《此房是我造》。但影片在结尾一下落入了快意复仇的窠臼，提醒我在精美而时髦的皮囊之下，本片仍延续着铅黄电影/B级片/三级片的血脉，这下便成了《金刚不坏》——我实在很讨厌好莱坞这种同化一切的本性。所以，影片真的包含了多少女性关怀吗？恐怕未必。我印象最深的却是信息时代的孤儿。
没有深挖 演绎的比较表面 颜值在线的黛西太美了 吧唧史蒂夫？？ 双人舞可还行 结尾有爽到 论一个好闺蜜的重要性
新鲜大块的美女肉拿来做bolognese？暴殄天物！一星！（其实人肉真没吹得那么好吃
拍的很文艺很小清新，最后十分钟才开始反杀，也不够血腥
