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.
还……蛮好看的……时而觉得Katy好看时而不觉得可能是因为妆？龙蛮帅的但莫名弱 猪猪狗有点可爱但又有点像火鸡…… Wong! Wong! Wong!
鲍勃一家日常的荒诞、丧、搞笑，为了做成电影还加了凶杀案，配上皆大欢喜的结尾，感觉比剧集版更柔软了一些。电视剧版的歌一集一个样，搭配剧情听比较精彩，放到电影里这么密集，有点审美疲劳。
可能是之前心理预期太低，整体还算不错的爆米花片，尤其是打斗和东方元素的呈现，能看出来剧组是想要讨好亚洲特别是中国观众。只不过那些什么黑暗生物，中英语言的切换，还有没法自圆其说的剧情bug，让它看上去又是多么地俗套和缺乏新意。只能说皮做得不错，但内核还是美式英雄的老一套，而且它让我想起之前迪士尼拍的《寻龙传说》，只不过前者是真的有做足了功课，后者则是把一些东南亚文化拼凑进美式故事版图里面，能看，但根本不是东方人想象中的东方故事。
不得不说，漫威的套路稍微改改，人物关系变一下，就是另一部电影。尚气这片子和《黑豹》，我觉得没啥区别，现实社会没法做戏，就创造出一个世界，一个在非洲，一个在中国而已。至于所谓的中国元素，也仅仅体现在场景表象上。人物的行为依旧是为剧情服务的，各种形式化的决定与木讷，有点受够了。
长评短评都删，那我说个别的，公交司机肩膀编号是什么意思？梁朝伟角色皇帝式统治上千年，被离家出走到美国的儿子随便击败。这剧情我没看懂，能有人解释下吗？
梁朝伟扮演的父亲，是个活了上千年的大佬，武力超群、权势滔天。某日，大佬出门买个菜妻子被杀，父亲训练儿子去杀仇家，儿子功成下了杀手以后觉得父亲残忍至极，所以跑去美国当酒店门童了……撇去逻辑硬伤，就还挺好看的「摊手」。6.5。
铺天盖地的差评让我用吐槽模式打开电影，没想到除了后面突然秒变怪（神）兽大战之外也没多大槽点，动作戏也还蛮精彩的，比之前的《花木兰》不知道好上多少倍了。。。
起源剧情上仍然是小儿科而老套的。不过对于东方观众这卡司好得具有迷惑性，能掩盖些许不足，比如后段异世界野心不比实际的打造，类比Asgard的话显得太乏味了。梁朝伟就是酷啊，杨紫琼、袁华和Ben Kingsley也都是锦上添花，在当下凑齐这些演员倒是漫威带来的福利了
男主骑着龙出来的一刻我恍惚间以为在看七龙珠
比我看过的任何一部妇联单人电影好看。 比较像九十年代的二流港产片。

黑豹2？哥斯拉3！中国元素真的很多，很少能看到有说这么多中国话的好莱坞电影。简直爆《花木兰》十条街。伟仔真的很适合演这种深情的角色，眼神里算是戏。十环这个武器感觉做成游戏会很不错。伟仔帅和陈法拉美，但男女主确实观感上确实不太行，有些路人。尽管奥卡菲娜喜剧效果挺好的，但是当男英雄的女主是有点违和，她自己当主角会更好一些。开头公交车的段落打戏很不错，很多地方有成龙的影子。没想到后面变成怪兽电影，有点始料未及。不过，看完电影感觉尚气稍微弱了点，实际上并没那么弱，起码要比黑豹强。
打家庭亲情牌但不幼稚 动作设计和配乐过硬 好久没在大银幕上看到这么不用花拳绣腿但能拳拳到肉的打戏了吧 舒爽 剧本运用的中国元素也是久违美国银幕上没有违和感让人舒适的那种 中国文化的银龙与黑恶势力代表的西方龙（变种龙 对打 再一次刷新了漫威之前群战灭霸的爽点/演员都好专业 梁朝伟一到美国英雄片 被当成道格拉斯用了 容颜老了 但气场秒杀一众小年轻 到位
拳脚功夫的武术指导+特效该加鸡腿
来说不带剧透的总体印象，全华裔的卡司，所有人都可以说流利的普通话（港普我就不和你计较了），我觉得在现在的好莱坞大制作里已经算是奇迹了，更何况还是Marvel的超英片。中文对白占一半，但刚巧也卡在一个尴尬的位置，里面的人会普通话讲着讲着毫无缘由地就讲英文，我内心就会出戏，os好好的为什么突然切英文？动作戏其实很好看，非常明显地能看出来，混合了成龙功夫片、《卧虎藏龙》、《一代宗师》的风格，于是打着打着我内心又出戏了，想起那些经典的打斗场景。看得出很努力地融入了很多中国元素，依然还是西方视角下的中国。刘思慕圆满完成任务，我觉得很帅啊，又有点小可爱，Awkwafina贡献了大部分笑点，两个人很搭！好像所有人都在夸梁朝伟，我觉得他尽力了。
sorry爱看动画片的我觉得这真不行，评价是还不如外太空的莫扎特、、、
PS：彩蛋1结尾真的是笑到了
该剧

有点太美式了，有点小尬，但是还是蛮有意思的
