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.
题材还行 剧情不跟cmbyn对比就还好 因为讲老实话确实拍的不如它 给及格分是因为摄影美术和配乐都还不错
从头到尾都有不合理之处，不修细节的老派逃亡片，可是“老派”同时也很勾人，从配乐出现的时机，摇移镜头巧妙的暗示，到讽刺意味浓厚的文本构成，都让故事更富魅力与余味，削去一些主角光环会更好，至少是能够容忍bug的程度。
一场疲劳驾驶引发的车祸，不但与爱人阴阳两隔，还不幸卷入政治阴谋。当然主角光环下，必须是金刚不坏之身——中枪没事，挨刀没事，沿途还总能遇到好心人捎一程，帮一把。印象深的倒是希腊雅典街头充满烟火气的市井风光，以及随处可见的、与我国同出一辙的各种小广告和涂鸦。
真是不知道这些人你们既然不喜欢看电影，就不要来看电影，去看电视剧好吧，这么好的电影你们觉得不好看，既然是电视剧的思维，就不要来看电影也不要来评分，耽误了一个好片。
特别古典的希区柯克式的悬疑电影，包括前半部的运镜都挺有希式电影的风格。背景的各方政治角力，每一方都不过是利益集团的代表，寓意了当前的西方世界，。只有男主抱着那点仅存的正义感与赎罪心，踉踉跄跄地独自走在暴徒和警察对峙的骚乱中，很有意思。
并强令其余三人沾血，
坏人吊下来拿石头砸也砸死了，整这么费劲呢？
稀烂，小成本投资，一众傻缺角色，三流惊悚片，软趴趴的追逃文本，完全看不到斗智斗勇的精彩瞬间，莫名其妙的动机和杀机，看得见的穷酸项目，女主能全身而退，全靠对手蠢，别浪费时间。
画面很美 但是印度拍这个题材的电影 还是欠很多火候
让坎妹当挽救希腊的英雄，再加上一些打斗场面，至少可达三星。
拿“攀岩”来演逃命的题材，非常有趣。但是受制于成本的原因，观感跟《徒手攀岩》比起实在是差太远太远，太多的局部拍摄，减少大量的俯拍来掩饰资金不足的问题。带来的问题就是视觉不够刺激，还有真实。感觉就是单纯在墙壁上做动作的感觉...有些桥段有种为了演而演的感觉，还有一些行为逻辑有些硬伤...为什么非得要攀岩来逃命...为什么非得要为了真相摄像机非得不肯跟对方...有点无语...凑合吧，只能说还行。
景美人不美，意象浅薄，抄袭别人的元素过多，自身剧情狗血且矫情。
渣男一个了把人家兄妹的身体和感情都玩了后，就逃跑了下落不明，男主还为他自杀，真是傻逼呀后面还为他写了一部关于他们之间的小说，真吐了都，还不如和那老师在一起了
可以给到四星，小成本之作但是紧张刺激，从一开始就上头
神经病能号召三傻缺一起出行，都被他害死，太二了，也就丅ang山黑帮能干出这缺德事！剧情小孩过家家，没明星的电影慎看
全程震惊于男主的心狠手辣。女主挺漂亮的，就这样。。。
周末晚上看看还是挺刺激的，就是感觉结尾有点anticlimax
本以为是竞速攀岩，突破极限，没想到却是山腰蹲坑，山顶抛尸
节奏太缓慢了，演技有点尴尬，色彩和构图不错，诗写得挺好，老师明明甩男友100条街好不好。
其实整体节奏还行的，只是这特么见谁杀谁的剧情也太狗血了，明明是一个人的错误，其他三个哥们脑残了吗，因为是朋友就要一起毁尸灭迹？然后一个个奋不顾身free solo摔骨折，绳降下悬崖闯吊帐被刺大腿，最后一刻才信队友的话想起打电话结果被火烧死推下悬崖？哪怕这些人一开始就知道Josh是个什么货色依然不离不弃，这都哪找的这么容易被pua又听话的队友？而且女主角也是一根筋，必须从大岩壁爬到黑，中间就不能换个简单线路然后像这几个哥们一样徒步跑路？背这么大一个迪卡侬结果快挂绳子岩塞全都在外面挂着，包里除了瓶水就一把机械塞，连个吃的都没有？人家放下绳子让挂相机，她小心翼翼的拉过来，结果就是为了拿纸条写个f word问候一下？大姐你这是对自己有多自信啊，就这还提前一天收拾行李来着……最后还有个5毛钱特效……
