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.
开锁过程显得好容易，其实是想表现出他的天才，可是….中间有点冗长，开始还是不错的，四部锁，一部史诗，结尾衔接活死人军团
名字起的吸睛 剧情一团散沙 五毛特效的开锁 看不到一点科技感 小偷都走文艺路线了 还有莫名其妙的背景故事 最近看的电影怎么最后都跑捷克取景 布拉格 克鲁姆洛夫俩破地翻来覆去的折腾
非常平庸，没有什么看点。保险箱大师隔空对决，让人非常期待的场面，所有的细节只有齿轮的转动和锁芯的扣合，说好的相互理解才能破解的点在哪里？除了话痨地讲解尼伯龙根的指环的故事，完全找不到故事和破解保险箱之间的关联。格温在开头展现的神偷技巧，在实战中也只是偷到了门卫大叔的钥匙，剩下的全靠打斗取胜。一部剧可看的，也就是娜塔莉的颜值。精巧的五官，配合浅棕色的肤色，真是完美。
01:21:22是个尿点，在尿点之前其实都很不错，最高级的食材往往只需要最简单的烹饪方式，俗套的团伙劫案犯罪也是为了衬托这个锁匠和保险箱谜题，节奏很利索，很好入门，后半截却急转直下，在解谜之外注水狗血剧情，从神偷军团变成了我和我的神偷女友，重心偏移不看也罢。
5.8 以为是惊天魔盗团 打扰了！以为是西班牙的沿路而下 又打扰了！团里的每个人都利益不明 像工具人一样的存在也就算了 还杀出一个癫狂傻逼警察 就更搅乱逻辑 混乱的叙事里还夹杂对剧情感觉毫无帮助的三角恋 整个故事就像是带着主旋律任务一样草草了事 整部剧唯二的两颗星只有男女主和开锁时那齿轮转动的真实沉浸画面感
这个影片告诉我们，无论干多大的事，仪式感也绝对是必不可少的。不过最后码头对峙那点，怎么可能只来了一个警察？这真的不合理...男主呢，作为一个普通得不能再普通的小职员，瞬间就会开快艇...还是有我喜欢的地方的，开头男主作为小职员的一天的描述，雨中吃午餐，画面很美，后来辗转的各个城市，也都很美，尤其是布拉格那个银行的取景地，是疫情前最后一次旅游曾经到过的地方，怀念的情感瞬间喷涌而出。
男主在活死人军团的角色定位我都忘记了，大抵确实是一个不重要的死人的前面的小故事罢了。
？这片到底想讲啥？一堆人为了开个保险箱被抓的故事吗？既然不是为了钱，直接商量商量让他们开一下不行吗？开开了还能让他们再增强安保措施
作为一部犯罪电影。槽点挺多的，人物不够立体，团队默契度也不够。感情戏来得太突然。开锁全靠听，保险箱里只有钱。。。
虽然画面构图上比不上正传《活死人军团》，但节奏趣味上更胜一筹，尤其开锁的过程拍得很刺激，男主破解最后一个锁后理解了这个天才，然后和格瓦纳超越时空的对望也很令人感动，而最后他没能等到女主出来找他，就在正传中做了和格瓦纳一样的举动，如他的噩梦中看见的丧尸面前，死在了诸神黄昏门前，也算是宿命了。 开了两个锁后回到自己的破屋的时候，也有种《心灵奇旅》里男主得到了梦寐以求的爵士演出后那种“辉煌过后”的落寞感，不过很可惜又马上开始fun了… 败笔是前两次的开锁前都太偏于喜剧化了，这时候的氛围应该严肃、紧张，而不是耍宝。 另外想不通为什么满大街和银行的走廊角落都有摄像头，偏偏保险前没有，并且保险箱没有任何的措施和报警装置，这方面的设定是比较傻的，不太计较的话还是可以一看。 （另外那男的也太像休叔了…）
娜塔莉伊曼努尔越看越好看，另外一个黑客妹子也好可爱。塞巴斯蒂安书呆子的幽默设计的很不错，怪不得名字逗的一比的BradCage会被抛弃。
欧洲旅游大片。剧情就比较俗套，不过结构还是完整的，就是节奏不太好，无聊的地方展开过度了。
好玩好笑 搞笑日漫风 懒洋洋的搞笑女杀手喜剧
比《活死人军团》好看，各方面都好看；作为类型片就很一般了，不说和《XX罗汉》比吧，和《瞒天过海美人计》比都要差一点。
还挺有趣的，蓝冷风色调挺有质感的，可惜的就是开锁的难度可以再做得紧张一些 难度大一些，还是有点套路化的想当然了，但不错的是通过这部衍生电影，扎导离开DCEU再就业的《丧尸宇宙》算是初步立起来了。
倒是还能看。开锁佬自导自演，喜剧向带爱情线，用4个传奇保险箱的设定串上<活死人军团>，解释了他后来毫不犹豫join in的动机和理由，最后也在开完“诸神的黄昏”后死在门外。就是有扎导，片长总是不太受控。（女二是<极线杀手>里和拔叔xx的那位）
211109？.故事人物尽是被玩烂了的套路模式，钱砸对之处唯女主造型和微距CG耳。
果然，做一件事做千万遍，不断地练习，你就会熟能生巧，炉火纯青，行云流水了，开锁也是如此。
这个题材拍好了应该会刺激又有趣，可惜本片就好似跑了气的可乐，平淡无趣还带点尴尬，核心的偷盗开锁剧情真的非常无聊且bug十足。不过男主人设还蛮有意思的，喜欢他被抛下然后偷单车逃跑那段，很难不让人产生点怜爱之情。
啊…竟然会这么无聊这么难看（自导自演也并没什么魅力）
