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.
eemmm，确实没啥记忆点，但每一帧美如画，跟拍画报似的。
熟肉跟我理解的有点偏差啊。。。很标准很标准的霓虹纯爱 ken的演技得加把劲 都进旬圈了啊。。。二刷才发现na姐是黑木华
等了好久的电影，呈现方式很美好，或者说很凄美。总而言之，感觉还是要活下去呀，愿所有人都能战胜疾病。
前半程节奏慢到想快进，最后三十分钟秒变搞笑片，说实话，强烈怀疑是为了国内过审设定的科研说辞，真的是笑死我… （非常适合热爱恐怖片的科研小伙伴一起看一定很欢乐）P.S. Gabriel的超强战力不考虑加入复联么？
——故事很简单、但我还是有被感动到。小松菜奈的“厌世脸”真是太适合这种对生活丧失斗志、但一笑起来又明媚十足的角色、很喜欢影片里对二人拍摄樱花桥段的巧思设计、另外、看了有一些日本电影、目前为止所听过的电影配乐都做的蛮舒服的、片尾曲是熟悉的野田洋次郎的创作、很好听。
原作者已经去世了让我好难过好难过。奈奈真的好好看啊，我好吃她的颜
故事很好，但导演好像并不太行，蒙太奇用的也不太能引起共鸣。在我看来余命十年之际是给了男主太多的力量，但这个表现力太弱了，以至于不敢认爱的过程也显的牵强与尴尬。现象级别的电影就这个水准看来只能为周边、写真、胶片这些加加分了。同样的花束的现象级话题真不是所有现象级的电影都能引起讨论的。当然这种现象不包括同情的眼泪。
最苦涩的不是发现熟悉的温式恐怖气息早已变味，而是时隔多年与他的新片相逢，我也早已是一个已经要暂停好几次处理工作的狗社畜了。这种屏幕内外让人一点点掉血的商业化渗透，真让人感慨啊，原来切身的看见一个导演的波峰波谷是这种感觉，无论是外部环境影响还是灵感当机，这种同步的观影体验还是蛮微妙的。（躺平）好在，我还是被吓到了_(：3 」∠ )_愣是没发现女主和他居然是这种亲密无间的羞耻关系！！噗，脸贴脸观摩版鬼压床，头发丝在脸上滑，还是那个最会玩儿的温子仁。中间宅子里那几段梦回招魂，最后扒头皮那儿我都惊讶居然没剪掉？感动人心。改天要找个特别闲的中午再看一遍，一定要特别闲，窗帘外日晒特别强，拉上帘子制造出阴影和独处屏障，再配杯冰咖啡，精神抖擞又慵懒着看。
果然倒计时的生命还是给人恐惧啊 按照遗愿清单在有限的时间里去一件一件“打卡”还是很恐怖的。毫无希望的最后还能遇见你到底是我的幸运呢还是你的不幸呢 “我还不想死 我也想和喜欢的人结婚”茉莉想必也清楚内心的答案了。纯爱还是要看霓虹。千篇一律的本子但本本却有各自的味道 四星的内容+一星私心给ken酱
不知道大家说的铅黄感在哪里，除了海报毫不铅黄 / 又是亲情母爱片……… / 结尾挺开放的，也不知道究竟是谁被控制在了幻觉里 / 反关节人体恐惧最让我期待，但... 真心没拍好！
全程冷漠，我好像没办法被这种剧情感动了，mv质地拍摄风格，只能说，截图当壁纸挺合适。
怒评，电影高潮像mv剪辑，有时是茉莉，mv里还是小松菜奈。剧情长又拖，老套又杂乱。男主太怂了，太幼稚了，茉莉照顾他、治愈他，快死了一个人去住院，一点点删掉录像机的回忆…恨。总结是，比不上恋空，也不如一公升的眼泪深刻和催泪。画面和樱花、还有小松菜奈还是美的。片尾曲也好听。
卡司基本都是我喜欢的，并且宣发期剧照拉高了期待值，但电影呈现稍逊。
配乐一绝，尤其片尾曲！虽然故事情节很老套，但是真的很感人。日本人在情感上的把握还是很到位的，女主角与每一个人之间的相处，都把细腻的情感表现到位，所以无论是爱情，还是亲情和友情，都把一个将死之人的不甘、不舍和矛盾拿捏到位了。疑惑的是，男主角为什么每次都是需要有事情推一下他，他才会move一小步。不管怎样，坂口小天使还是很可爱的。
删了那些dv真是个狠人 要是我死了我都不舍得删 在那个界面好害怕在没电的时候她就走了 期待影院上映 会去看 自己的音响少了那么点意思 最后 谢谢作者
看完脑阔痛。前三分之二边看边疑惑是温郎才尽了吗，一小时三十分惊掉下巴梦回柯南伯格。
2021-09-12 在悬疑套路上稍微开了个小口子，再缝合上大量血腥情节，观感还行。发现导演的女性选角， 包括他的女性配偶，审美都是维密天使 Miranda Kerr 式娃娃脸。《海王》就好多了，大制作不会太放纵个人偏好。看出了太多破绽，觉得有些遗憾吧。
有什么比相遇还要珍贵？
打光确实很有铅黄之色。回归电锯老本行。温子仁的优点一直在于节奏和运镜，开始不知所云，但镜头推拉摇移会完美引导你注视早已埋下的伏笔。剧情如何推进，跟着他的镜头走就可以
有更好的绝症题材 坂口健太郎挺让我惊艳的 前后的对比通过声音转换 让我眼前一亮 （甚至有时候有些角度迷之凌凌 难道帅哥都是有共性的吗……
