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.
看到10个爸爸那才忽然有点印象 音乐太赞啦
好好看啊！超级喜欢！！2021年看的第一部影院电影是心灵奇旅实在是太幸福了！！皮克斯yyds！！这部电影改编成游戏肯定很好玩，场景和角色设定很可爱很有想象力，泰瑞和杰瑞们就很适合做npc，配乐也好听！一人血书求迪士尼出游戏！
具象的现实感官与抽象的灵魂世界，两者在作画风格上的全然对立和最终在情感上的有效统一是皮克斯数十年年来辛勤耕耘得来的水到渠成，其中的说教与结局的圆满这些或许诞生于妥协的产物总归令我心生遗憾，但人总是需要偶尔来碗浓香的鸡汤。
赞美当下、肯定世俗生活、强调生命体验的重要性——同样以爵士乐为底，堪称是一剂针对《爆裂鼓手》以及将其中的成王败寇逻辑奉为圭臬的丛林法则崇拜者的药方，即使会被看作是鸡汤安慰剂，但内核仍然深得我心。把朴素哲学理念用华丽概念+通俗故事包装起来，再润物细无声地层层拆开，是皮克斯看家本领，对Pete Docter而言也是驾轻就熟了。画风创意无需更多赞美（纽约的现代艺术环境，的确适合线条风灵魂会计师一展身手），但此次对灵魂学院的宏大设定没有更多延展，更多集中在“讲道理”上。配乐又是 Trent Raznor & Atticus Ross，真爱了。
看到中间一度以为是又一部《头脑特工队》，后来发现高概念只是浅层外壳，里面包裹着一个“公路”类型片，大叔+萝莉的组合以一种意想不到的方式走了一趟“人生”之旅，困于梦想和现实夹缝中的人和困于“人间不值得”理论的人，最终都明白了人生的真谛在于感受而非目标和结果。影片的治愈性在于真实的共情而非空洞的励志，非常愉快的观影过程。心灵之旅同时也是灵魂音乐之旅，感受到美妙的律动。PS: 灵魂学院的Jerry老师们长得也太像Finder图标了吧
You only live once. Be not afraid, every tiny little moment of living will spark to fix you, echo to seize you. A perfectly gentle endnote for 2020.
在赋予玩具和机器以情绪、甚至赋予情绪以情绪（《头脑特工队》）之后，彼得·道格特终于也跟随《寻梦环游记》的步伐，把主题探向了更深层次的灵魂。叙事一如既往地流畅，概念的展开也环环相扣，对“另一个世界”的想象是更加未来化的，但也因太准确无误地嵌入剧作模式中，没能在我心底真正激起什么回响。与黑泽明的《生之欲》相比，对“人生价值”这一议题给出的答案，未免太过云淡风轻，以至于沦为自我降维的合家欢流水线产品。

一.2015年度最爱《头脑特工队》，2017年度最爱《寻梦环游记》，2020年度最爱《心灵奇旅》，皮克斯又一次凭实力牢牢占据我心中最爱的三维电脑动画工作室的地位。二.我所深爱的电影、音乐、动画、家人……是我生命活下去的动力，如此说来，他们也是我灵魂的火花。三.非英语片的《寄生虫》在今年同时获得奥斯卡最佳国际影片和最佳影片后，偏爱动画的我就开始期待哪天能有部动画电影同时夺得奥斯卡最佳动画长片与最佳影片的殊荣，而在《心灵奇旅》的影院观影过程中，这个想法不禁再次油然而生。四.《寻梦环游记》是人与狗，《心灵奇旅》则是人与猫。五.看到那只过街老鼠瞬间就联想起《料理鼠王》，而路边街景则唤起《怪兽电力公司》《大眼仔的新车》的记忆，学校教音乐→《摇滚校园》，爵士吧→《爱乐之城》，……，被心灵学院段落萌化，准备二刷、三刷……
下完了以后看了~非常好。
一部净化心灵的好电影。落叶在街角被风吹起的霎那，眼泪已经浸湿了口罩。我们琐碎而漫长的一生哟，好像没有哪一刻曾真正拥有安宁，反而是常常感到被围困，兜兜转转却怎么都找不到出口。一只渴望大海的鱼并不知道，它其实已经在大海里游泳了。每一天，都当宛如新生——这么简单又朴素的道理，这部电影用最贴切的镜头语言和音乐语言准确地传达出来了。了不起。
从美学到表达都属于特定时期、特定班底的特殊产物，对于如今所谓的国产动画，其实没太大启示性。
看看现在的大陆动画片，《天书奇谭》绝对值五星。
22投胎到天朝还怎么live every minute
你以为所有的故事都被讲完了，皮克斯给你讲一个所有元素都见过但前所未有的故事。终于梦想和目标都不再重要，feel it
真正杰出的电影仿佛是一道时空门，当你走出影院时，感觉就不再是走进影院的那同一个人了。它不见得能教会你什么新的东西，但它一定会带你去感受一些你已经做好准备要接受的东西。这部电影做到了。虽然老实讲，在离开影院后，这种感受还是免不了会被真实的生活逐渐吞没。但没关系，因为“A spark isn't a soul's purpose”。带着这些火花继续前行就好，正如另一句台词所说：“I’ll go with you…as far as I can.”
天啦这片子 泪点低的我几乎每分每秒都想落泪 就是被里面那种隐隐的气息打动 能享受每一刻的活着真是太好了
寓意很好，画风也很舒服，但是8.9这个分值明显是低于我的预期了。
全程都在与我对话……暴击，哭的快窒息了
