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.
md看这部电影也是天大的修行。东亚社会为什么这么爱人为选择压抑？？离婚各自放过不行吗？？？
比较好奇那封黄色委托函信封上被打码的邮票是？冰雪奇缘梗很直球蛮有趣的，两个已经步入婚姻坟墓的人下一代会有后续么？
非常努力在搞笑 也就还行吧 最后满满激情 主角和一众配角还算热闹 打发时间可以
某种程度跟阿彼察邦的《记忆》是撞题的，前者用声音轰造梦境为记忆线索，而钱翔太小儿科了，单用声音做臆想去探索婚姻生活和人们心里无底洞的修行。所谓修行，是电话狂响的躁动慌鸣音，是狗乱吠的暴躁音，是饭桌上的咀嚼声，是酒店浴缸的水流声，是婚礼上的礼乐声，是贯穿全剧的颂钵echo音。钱翔做不到从头有逼格到尾，只能落地踩脚婚姻状态，人物状态，两者乱蹿。早在严复生出走60min就可以早早结束，导致后面20min完全失控，完全是陈湘琪撑起了一场又一场的戏，手持摄影的抖动没有加剧人物共情力，只让观众观感泛滥成灾。太空了，太白了，以小文本显大格局显然做的不好，但是比起那些电视剧电影，这完全是一部电影思维的电影。期待陈湘琪的第三部家庭奏鸣曲。 @2022-04-13 13:43:49
看完贼压抑
3.5 陳湘琪撐起整部作品，真的演得很好，很喜歡音效設計，禪修的警示回音，聽來鏗鏘有力，卻反映著女主角內心無力的吶喊和慨歎，但劇情實在有些空落落，略顯可惜。狗狗泰瑞可愛。
看人物演技？很无聊也很压抑不想慢慢看那种。有过小三真的麻烦，所以还是不要行差踏错。
值得一个三星的最重要一点是因为，剧情完整度很高，虽然用了很多烂梗但是对标一部轻松诙谐的喜剧片无可厚非。主角的演技基本在线、情绪到位，一些大咖拿来做个彩蛋点缀也算处理得当。不过个人认为一个很关键的弱点是让男主的转变过于生硬了，既没有明显铺垫男主从小被污名为偷后发展成惯偷的前因，也没有一个明显的行为明确给到观众男主洗心革面的节点，对于一部轻喜剧来说算个硬伤。
开场的猥琐男叫喊着李寡妇然后劈叉裤裆裂开露出红内裤就能看出这个导演的审美有多低级了，三十年前的B级片都不搞这种恶俗笑点了好吗？
设定挺有意思，按理说这应该拍成沙雕风格，整个世界都是深井冰才是，结果搭出来世界是正常的，人全都是深井冰，我寻思你跟你家家具都没咋沟通呢就煽起情来了，这不是深井冰是啥？
无趣 所以现在精神疾病还是这些俗烂编剧常用设定呗 但既然用这个设定就麻烦去了解相关基础知识 不是跟这瞎用 都多少年了还在精神病和神经病混用 这tm是一回事嘛？何况还是出自精神科医生之口 乱七八糟
2.5。影人本身比作品更精彩。時隔七年，錢翔還是執著於拍攝50+女性的生命、生活與困局（前作是打不開的門，本作是被鎖上的露台），只是這回更沉潛到婚姻的命題，更簡化為人物的一連串狀態。似乎和《迴光奏鳴曲》是同一個家的場景。極度靜謐的氛圍下被放大的細瑣環境音。導演提到把缽想像成嘆氣蠻有趣。有一些若有似無的sign，如鳥等。尾聲的浴缸戲似乎推不太到，還好有鬆手。攝影還是喜歡走景深。（211113）
看完后感觉阿震的生活太有趣了，一夜之间万物都可以沟通，连马桶都活了，生活不再乏味和孤独
男主角前面濫情對象都是為人格分裂的女主做墊脚石，殺狗女生的反轉鋪墊了九年前的案情和三個人格的倒敘，有點像《三個女人一個因》的橋段，當然暗黑太多。伏綫千里的男主事事算盡卻有超能力拉拉女友的攪局而失敗再得償所望。片尾暗黑再起過癮。日系粉紅暗黑果然絕配。女主氣質型。
把简单的问题复杂化？一个挺简单的故事非要搞得这么繁琐的设计？音效组可以直接开除了，一惊一乍的连个音量区间都控不明白。
これは僕が作り上げた人生最後にして最高の舞台；死んでも、この夢を叶えたい――
梁上君子的迷途知返
看似是一通電話引爆的人生出軌，實則早已是自欺欺人的籠中困獸，不時響起的缽鳴不僅沒能讓人內心平和，反而如催命符一般將人不斷逼入深淵，所謂修行，也終究是一場煉獄，終了，也只能是無可奈何地罷了，連歇斯底里的發洩都令人疲憊與厭倦。陳湘琪不愧是楊德昌、蔡明亮先後調教過的，不著痕跡，尤其是長鏡頭中的她，和同屆的其他四位提名者其實早已不在同一水準了。
挺不错的啊，这个特异功能。脑洞大，而且圆的回来
看之前觉得这种设定应该很有趣，没想到居然能拍的这么无趣！
