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.
像是给Savannah美院毕设作品单独写了一个差强人意的剧本，有时细节太多就成了漏洞。
影片的四分之三的故事处理都还可以，最后的结局稍显绝望。
脸上蒙层皮
带着女主的光环，所以总能化险为安。主题还是贪欲，为人又不可能了无欲念，所以总可以做做文章。怪物的造型有些恶心，为何是四只手，模糊的女脸，腹部为口，飞蛾的形体？爬出来后，我为它怎么爬回去担心了好一会儿。
节奏有点太慢了 伊丽莎居然也到了这年龄了 唉 青春啊
我看解析是说这个电影是比喻人的欲望的，说恐怖也不是很恐怖，说内容也不是很好看..em…
比隔壁双生好看一点点，结局有一个人人都猜得到的反转
furry羊头怪，圣斗士巨蟹座♋，13级台阶，san值归0，母爱伟大，大概就是这些要素了。在主角的视角，是一步步展开调查解决疑惑最终解开迷题，然而明白真相并不代表可以解决问题，甚至明白真相恰恰是最危险的时候，因为意味着悲剧可以再次重演，唯一的区别是中间有希望、挣扎和绝望的过程，恰如本片。在恶魔的视角，就是一段咒语，一个通道，一个目的地的自动化食粮制造机罢了。
老套的小成本恐怖片，整部片子就一个人在忙活，还是瞎忙活。
拍的什么狗屎！？剧情不清不楚的？...怪物都比剧情好看，一星给怪物
女主傻白甜的被骗钱 交一月租金 然后用租金再骗他回来的傻白甜杀了她妈 只收女租客为什么屋主是男的还有人租 箱子男女通吃为什么只收女的 反正很多奇奇怪怪的逻辑这样
电影氛围营造的不错，除了个别情节略显女主无脑，总体智商在线。至于电影背后的寓意，也就是非法移民的悲惨遭遇和所处的非人环境，背井离乡，奔着美好的愿望去，结果成为社会的牺牲品。
锁怎么就莫名其妙的开了…但是怪物是长得真有创意
剧情太粗糙，演员演技也不行，一个吓人的镜头都没有，全程也没有惊悚恐怖的氛围。看片名以为是血腥片，看前半段以为是恐怖片，看后半段以为是科幻片，看完确信是烂片。
人家都拍到异世界断魂桥这种桥段了 网友还给这种低评分什么意思？真就对恐怖片这么高要求？ 我很喜欢这类不靠jump scare 做噱头的恐怖片 剧情也有深究的点 考虑到成本可能有限 总体可以上6分
连小学生都知道的鬼宅，这对儿父母全然不知，反应迟钝酿成大祸，不过这片子还是可以出续作，毕竟还有很多谜题有待破解。
剧情还行，就是太简单，放在美剧里面40分钟都觉拖沓，更何况这是90分钟的电影。里面充满了各种插科打诨来拖时间
冲着伊丽莎·库斯伯特看的这部电影，对她的印象还停留在《单身男子俱乐部》、《邻家女优》、《恐怖蜡像馆》的无敌美少女时期，没想到变成这模样了。。。
前面气氛和铺垫都挺好的，但是为什么不搞个房子是异域空间点之类的也好啊——更有说服力！
氛围还是可以的，虽然音效起了很大的功劳，建议除了音效以外，在其他方面下一点功夫会更好，这方面可以学一下《危险警告》。虽然没什么新意，恶魔➕老宅，这一老套组合，但也还可以看看，主角都不算太蠢，没有到让人急躁地步，另外有一些学术夹杂，看起来像那么回事儿，最后采用了坏的结局，摆脱了happy ending 的俗套，还是可以拍拍第二部的。
