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.
一开始是挺搞笑的，女主出来之后就弱了很多。而且女主样貌不适合古装，一看到就出戏。
苏仲堪苏文兴父子上演朱自清《背影》月台买橘子桥段，乌启豪成了倒腾义乌小商品的二倒贩子，吉吉国王和王妃共同创立互联网和闲鱼，最后宁毅还来个加拿大鹅，处处皆是梗
讨巧的电影，或者说是电视剧外传，不能说多好，但是当时在看的时候就想看下去，吉吉国王让我很好的笑了出来。
一个吉吉国王秒变大马猴再突变齐天大圣的故事
还行，挺逗的，导演的画面不错，质量还是蛮高的。
2021.8.20 义乌小商品都开啦，距离第二部还远吗？
这是啥？吉吉国王成主角了 还配了个开挂妹子 还能不能行了 导演恰烂钱
苏文兴脱单记，小汤圆不但人美还有经商天赋；苏文兴曾一度嫉妒小汤圆的经商天赋，但是最后还是回来抢亲，一救小汤圆不用和不爱的人成亲二也算找到了自己的真爱。就像小汤圆说的其实他也不是一事无成：他能帮助人发挥特长，他也能容下比他强的人不让嫉妒撕裂自己和他人，这份胸襟值得肯定。
节奏很好，不拖沓，近100分钟的电影节奏比90分钟的电影还好，直奔主题，结局意料之外，正义败给了邪恶，正义的神父还向撒旦妥协了，救女儿还是救无辜的孩子，有点像黑暗骑士里小丑让蝙蝠侠做选择救旧情人还是哈维·丹特，没想到是全都救了，但代价却是最可怕的，导演编剧决定是不信仰上帝的， 不然拍不出这么黑暗的结局，作为一部恐怖片，恐怖镜头塑造的还是不错的，驱魔镜头也是很给力，女鬼可以拍得这么性感诱人，就是有个问题，神父只会唠唠叨叨，怎么不考虑暴力解决，他被撒旦一棒子打晕时真搞笑，以及撒旦抓住了神父为什么不封住他的嘴，这样神父就没办法唠唠叨叨对抗撒旦念咒语了呀，所以逻辑问题还是挺严重的。
挺搞笑的!刘冠麟喜剧演员走到底吧!女演员都很美!电影结尾还有彩蛋,真是要做赘婿宇宙啊!!!厉害了！！！
还可以哦，不过套路还是一样的，感觉比剧女主要展现才华的地方多一些。一开始以为是续剧-赘婿2，才发现是电影
好久没熬夜了，看完竟然11点多了，不过内容还是很喜剧啊！好看！
皮特最后都进入梵蒂冈了，不错，带着高层一起和魔鬼做交易，神父驱魔全靠精神胜利法，最终还是卖灵魂，恶魔输出全靠吼，然后物理攻击为辅，驱魔题材这几年基本没得作品可看，这部算是勉强能看完的给个鼓励三星
各种大杂烩，融梗文章《背影》，故弄玄虚，给义乌打广告……笑料还可以。
驱魔治鬼还得看中国电影，西方那套驱魔的法子和嘴炮差不多
蓝神仙好帅～但是感觉他是不是跟义铭有点什么
熟肉https://rz26883330.m.icoc.ws/
牧师的牺牲也没得到上帝的加持，驱魔手段还是靠吼，魔鬼和上帝的附体都认为对方该被驱逐，搞笑。
因为喜欢这个IP，私心多加一星，电影本身拍的没啥技巧和心思，就是网剧的延续和承接。但是一方面也是拓展了赘婿宇宙的版图算是…照旧的搞笑～吉吉国王终是抱得美人归，傻人有傻福呀
还是那个味，就是感觉大舅哥不是那个大舅哥了（只看过剧版）
