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.
北爱尔兰的宗教冲突题材 并没有像其他描述此主题的电影如《血腥星期日》那样集中描写冲突的残酷露骨 而是把目光聚集在孩童和母亲和老人身上 温情更足 而作为父亲的男人 则承担了无奈的角色 算是这段历史的情感化描写 有点《生活多美好》的意思 但是情感的表现又远不如 场景过于舞台剧化了 歌舞的加入渲染了一种乐观的生活态度 但在整个片子所要表现的主题来说 其实会消减那种紧张感 两头不沾
第一次陪孩子看电影，意外的还挺不错。剧情有些低幼，但是节奏很紧凑，适合带娃去看
构图是不错的，但是没有必要的空镜过多。乡愁以儿子的视角建立其实本身也挺弱的，因为孩子还小到没有建立起自我(周围人问他“你想要的是什么”的次数不要太多)和更多的世界观，对贝尔法斯特的依恋一半都是来自对同班女生的暗恋。然后导演就在这样一个角色身上谈乡愁，确实太“为赋新词强说愁”。
空洞，做作，无趣，还喜欢炫技。与《罗马》有云泥之别。
7.2 有点像《乔乔的异想世界》也有点像《元首的粉兔子》但没有这两者好。在宗教矛盾下一个街道中的96号家庭的命运，是留守还是离开，聚焦点不准，情绪太散，过度全部用音乐简单的处理，显得稚嫩而单一。但巴比真的很可爱，音乐也很好听。
虽然我也不喜欢猫 不过作为电影对猫狗高低是有点捧一踩一了 有些不妥

《汪汪队立大功大电影》🐶
《罗马》在贝尔法斯特。最喜欢的是《正午》《双虎屠龙》与故事形成的互文（但砖头砸枪是什么鬼x）不过现在世界电影配乐风格都是金曲捞吗…………
富有童趣的儿时小传，用浓郁的温情包裹了历史的残酷，但也仅此而已，没啥深度，摄影很赞。
看到最后老人的“Son, go. Don’t look back”的时候骤然落泪😭
The Irish were born for leaving. Otherwise the rest of the world would have no pubs. All the Irish need to survive is a phone, a Guinness and the sheet music to “Danny Boy”. 这就是，乡愁电影？
一个童年
to the ones who stayed
音喜糖水片，全片发展标准冲奥模板剧情。作为第一主角的小男孩的表演痕迹太重了，很出戏。女主的两段moment与电影格格不入，简直是为冲表演奖刻意量身打造，正好也主转配，女配提名大概稳的。詹米多南的角色完全工具人，奥斯卡如果连这种表演也提名，真是没必要。
昨天晚上，我突然很想家。在外工作那么多年，突然很想家。
出乎意料的好看，炫目的众多高级装备，来了骑摩托车的新伙伴，旺旺期待下一部大电影，旺旺再一次在阿奇被抓的时候痛哭，真是个情感敏感的孩子呢
就算有字幕也好难看明白哦，一方面是对口音不了解，一方面是对历史的不了解
我想什么时候写点东西纪念我在义乌的好时光。最后奶奶在向她的儿子说“走吧，现在就走，不要回头，我的孩子。”就像费里尼的罗马在向他告别。
不要回头。
