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.
看前半部我还在纳闷，都2022年了，美国还会拍这种暴风雪山庄模式的推理电影？果然中段画风一转，变成了心理悬疑➕暴力反杀。印象中美国电影很少启用亚裔女演员担当第一主角，韩国人和越南人姓刘的不多，大概率是华裔。说真的，很久没看到节奏这么好的悬疑惊悚电影了。
以为是密室但是罪犯出得有点太早了；结尾是说磕💊之后不但可以保持神智逻辑清醒冷静，而且可以提升战力么……smh
开头会以为是嗑药致幻心理片。小女孩有点坏，还以为有个暗黑的反转。耍诈牌学会了，有机会找人一起玩玩儿。其他并无惊喜。
“水能载舟，亦能覆舟”
暴雪山庄模式永远是经典模板，其实挺棒的内容没有水分和各种故弄玄虚的bug，不能说老套就一定不好，整个电影完整且节奏紧凑
I do have some reputation:)
三星半 好惊喜的一部密室片子 节奏 悬念什么做的都不错 临近结尾那个狡猾的地狱级别的sick humor太猛太有趣了
小成本雪夜密室（？）。消遣一下，还算能看。小女孩略吵，钉枪杀伤力也蛮猛的…但是没有女主猛。
我以为这部电影会给不断的惊喜，可是它的情节不太考究，导致衔接不够好，情节显得莫名其妙，而且有点老套，都什么年代了，怎么还有信号这么差的地方，而且感觉还没开始打，人就死了，那个妻子后期设定真的没太大用，身份才显就死了。而且女主真的生命力顽强，受了那么多伤还活着，最后再来个强行团圆结局是想怎样。
评分明显低了。没啥废话也没有故作高深的桥段，这样干脆利落的惊悚片简直是宝藏了。要知道，时间就是金钱啊。
暴风雪山庄经典剧情，靠女主一人反杀。。我还以为全员坏人，结果还是有一个好人，活了两秒。。富人小女孩品质恶劣，救回去以后会好吗
其实是非常老套的犯罪加反转闹剧，最后的长镜头打斗是唯一亮点，不过凯文哈特的片子向来是这样。ps:大爆炸的潘妮出场
一个吸毒成瘾的女孩要经历怎样一番惊心动魄的冒险才能重新获得家人的信任的故事。
该影片改编自小说，讲述暴风雪后一名女大学生，不得不与一群陌生人困在山区一个的高速公路休息区，与世隔绝。雪上加霜的是，她发现了有人的车里藏了一个被绑架的孩子，她不得不通过一场生死决斗来找出隐藏其中的绑架者。
打戏很好但剧情有点降智。被审问的那几个人意志那么薄弱，还没动手就全交代了，根本用不着伍迪哈里森出马，感觉我去都能套出话来。后面各地杀手大乱斗那段，打不过凯文哈特有点太主角光环了吧。还有正常人真的能想出非接触式拳击这么傻X的想法吗？不过最近那个刘什么宏的健身操火爆全网，嗯…………非接触式拳击好像也没那么傻X了。
黑的地方是真累眼睛啊，根本看不清……这个制作太成问题了，观感也糟糕，逻辑上想一出是一出
差一点就全员恶人，两边各一个猪队友，做大事要么找靠谱之人要么自己一个人上，你永远不知道猪队友在要命关头来个什么送命操作
还可以 有几个小反转 女主有几个角度和镜头竟然跟蒋勤勤很像 好神奇
略显俗套了些，女主的背景和遭遇倒是交代的很详细，但似乎跟电影没啥太大的转折关联，暴风雪的悬疑惊悚片，看开头差不多已经帮编剧把结尾安排好，实际看下来也确实八九不离十，前期四人里猜测凶手，中期抓住凶手的帮凶还有谁，结尾警察走过场送人头并闹场，女主如何一己之力终结凶手，虽然剧本单薄，好在过程没有太多废话和拖沓，节奏和走向利索干脆，不过还是逃不了逻辑问题和角色蠢钝，好几次可以摆平的局面，硬是搞成不可收拾的残局，90分钟这样批发而来的故事确实不好凑，但能在预期内落幕还带点爽利感，相较这两年的好莱坞类型片低迷的制作环境来说，还是颇具亮点和诚意的。★★☆
