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.
尤其是当他们奔跑
九命，这真的是PTA拍出来的东西么，不知所云莫名其妙，普信男（男主选角有事吗 就不可，剧情又俗又土，最后还有双向奔赴是要怎样，最惊喜的是Alana的演技以及复古场景，但Haim姐妹花们出现时以为她们随时要开始尬舞！
什么鬼！看Paul Thomas Anderson看出了千年女优是怎么一回事？！导演本人是不是lock down里光看日剧了？！最后的奔跑蒙太奇我都要看哭了。本来中间程觉得都太长了大概只能给三星的。没想到结尾兜的也太懂了。各位导演最近都爱拍迷影向的电影么。这片的私心也太重了，一堆PTA粉参演，跟今年的Wes Anderson如出一辙是怎么一回事。
看电影的过程中想起了索菲玛索的成名作《初吻》
I love it好久没看到这么流畅的故事，镜头的调度好美很有语言感，是可以看画面就能知道导演要表达的内容，特别棒。我又好讨厌这部戏的故事，它是这样的令人讨厌的真实和简单，简单的快乐，简单的生活如婊子的糟糕，我恨透了这样的内容，又好喜欢这部戏让我这么愉快的投入。
上来搞得我还真的很懵，后来才知道原来是姐弟恋的主题
快看睡了，复古怀旧一个点都没get到，非常无聊的美国奔跑爱情梦。有多期待就有多失望，没打一星是因为勉为其难没睡着。
其实难副的pta作品，实际证明了pta离开ddl和华金等大演员之后，再加上年过半百老房子着火开始怀念故乡青春岁月，能炮制出多么无聊的、充斥着日剧跑的作品。整个剧本可惜了技术层面的出色发挥，那么漂亮的标志性的摄影打光和长镜头，拍两个各方面乏善可陈的主演，当年《私恋失调》选角也很大胆，但奈何男女主演业务太出色。唯一的亮点就是女主28岁困于故乡和平庸的小精明小算计与感性的冲突，拍摄手法挺轻盈，但老实讲pta真的不会拍女人，给女演员的打光都挺恶意，搞得个个都像他老婆，然后他老婆就真的客串了。
#第9th金帧2022奥斯卡专场
sunny和izzy可爱到我鸡叫，有点期待furry的娃娃梳毛玩具惹！
库珀霍夫曼真像他爸，演技居然还不赖，算是为数不多表现还不错的星二代了。
最後還能HE是沒有想到的，突然整個片的調子都變得輕快了起來，70s 的浪漫和自由奔跑的感覺真好。本來以為2人會分開的展開，口是心非的對話，卻忍不住看向對方的情深，還是蠻可愛的。
不敢相信，这是pta自己的本子拍出来的....演技最好的竟然是抽烟的面试官
PTA最轻盈的作品，依旧充斥着奇怪和迷人的味道
看到半夜 打车送我回家 第二天上班睡眠困乏但是一直开心
散漫的节奏，让摄影机跟随游动的青春气息，绝对是PTA拍得最轻松的作品，但也不要提什么回归本真，拍得轻松也只是对付着来，没什么进取，是PTA导演生涯最差的一部。
荒诞离奇的故事用朴实优美的手法表现出来
整体不如《失恋失调》。导演选择的女主都有种荷尔蒙过度溢出的熟透感，未老先衰在他的电影里像是褒义词。
听朋友介绍过前面几部，觉得这部格局的确太小了，导致故事情节看着更稀松平常… 歌很好听，细节设置也很可爱，轻松一下还是不错的嗯
我很不满意
