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.
7/10没有预想的那么糟糕，尽管也没有那么好，但是正好填补了空缺，毕竟我们真的需要这种大片。前边确实很拖沓，各种剪辑来回跳很难入戏，黑市追逐那场戏是最喜欢的一段，整体故事有点老套，剧情简单高潮不足，没什么新鲜的东西出现，但并不妨碍帕帕那无处安放的魅力。
"I always come back."
考古学更新恐龙换新颜，镰刀龙沼泽追捕实为玩乐，火盗龙海陆空三方索敌，双嵴龙除恶惊吓返场，老梗翻新三角定位，这些点都挺有趣。但本以为会是城市间人龙大战，不料又回归丛林。回看了一下新的三部曲我的打分都是平平。不是反感冷饭现炒，而是觉得二十年后，故事会更（四声）新。对这个新的期待，不是特效的成熟也不是更正确的主流价值观，而是六千五百万年前的生物与现代智人共存引发的所有改变——无论是社会变迁的细枝末节还是关乎遥远未来的憧憬。可惜这个新三部曲几乎没有（试图）去做这件事。始于情怀也忠于情怀。这也没什么不好，毕竟人人都爱重返童年的惊奇梦境（摊手）以及卡神能否想到13年后的IMAX3D观影几乎是一场肉体折磨，请天神下凡拯救一下院线体验吧（大哭）
在家看和在电影院看有很大的区别。在家看睡得更舒服，对颈椎好。
反派废物不作为，啥都不干，潦草写死。主角旅游团玩玩跑跑就赢了全部，遇见恐龙，一点被压迫感都没有。
好吧 之前没看过这个系列电影 第一次 在max 只有我们一波观众 我快被吓哭了 什么剧情什么视听都顾不上了
这种流水作业的视觉爽片没啥好评价的。唯一想吐槽的是，演员被恐龙追杀时表现得太平静了。印象中“侏罗纪公园”系列中某一部因为女主尖叫太多被刻薄的媒体吐槽电影主题就是“恐龙来啦，大家快跑！”不知道这部的演员是不是受了先前评论的影响。但也太矫枉过正了。哪有被恐龙追一句尖叫都没有的，哑巴吗？
在恐龙面前，人类的优越感面临了挑战，无力战胜却高唱和谐共处，难免假大空，故事无非以居心不良的人和弱肉强食的恐龙构成威胁，坏人早晚自食恶果，被恐龙消灭，而恐龙总是只顾同类掐架，好人就这么安然无恙，搬出初代三人组，只是让好人团变得拥挤。
我觉得还是好看的！！当然有等了足足四到五个月后第一次重返上hai电影院的加成！与其说是Adventurous Movie不如说是Thriller, 有jump scare预警! 有很很很Cheesy的部分，但总体还是很惊险刺激的, 立意高度什么的就先别想了, 毕竟是商业大片, 反正好几个片段看到美丽的恐龙站在地平线上有日出的场景真的会心头一暖，地球上没有人类动物们一定很幸福吧! 最后迅猛龙母女团圆的时候哭崩了, 看不得动物之间的真情流露，几个老演员都还是很不错的，星爵就算了，演啥都一样
蝗虫不停飞，恐龙不停追，人们不停跑，我啊昏昏欲睡。
场面和特效还是不错的，很多怀旧梗也不错，但很多设定很不合理！看个热闹吧.........
嗯 新冠病毒希望你们也能这么拍。不过，拍完你们也就只是图一乐，国家层面是断然不会反思和弥补的。
想看恐龙崛起团结一致对抗人类，不想看什么和平共存的虚假温情戏码……最后几个人是趁两只恐龙打架之际逃走的也太好笑了😂
故事过于愚蠢，无论桥段还是主线，主角干了个寂寞，就为了消除蝗虫，恐龙元素删掉没影响。最后就看看恐龙吧
陪人去的，全程看手机了。别担心，没人。那么多电影就没一个想看能看的，连帅哥美女都消失不见。帅哥美女都没有的电影，还有什么意思？
看恐龙降血压，整体中规中矩，像个塞了很多层料的汉堡包，不难吃，就是撑得慌。
OK? Then. 消灭蝗虫只有火攻一种方法吗？要毁尸灭迹不能先杀死再烧吗？？就这种超大号蝗虫带来的不适感过于强烈…… 另外，科技的确没有善恶，可是傲慢的人类啊总觉得可以掌控一切，呵。另外全球多国取景，风光甚好，马耳他挺漂亮。被迅猛龙追着跑的那段，我满脑子只有这个念头:我们女主第一部可是穿着高跟鞋跑过霸王龙的姐妹！行吧。
恐龙更多了，特别是几只鸟龙很惊喜，但很可惜全都是配角。作为大结局玩了些情怀梗，还行吧。把马耳他拍得太美了，而意大利拍得我完全没认出来。
恶心，虚伪，俗套，且恶心
不是我一个人觉得反派像库克吧，像极了Apark
