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.
非常非常老套的剧情，这个剧情几乎在很多很多很多个超英电影里面看到，剧情走向没有一点变化，闭着眼睛都能想到的发展套路，太太太太平庸了。
剧本老套，基本上没有角色塑造，都是工具人，最后的决斗在一片漆黑中进行，眼睛都快瞎了。
居然比毒液2还难看，身为索尼超级英雄宇宙中的一部。离开了漫威还真是不行啊。剧情老套，用了N遍的模板。还是能拍成这样。一个关系密切的人物，获得和自己类似的能力，最终成为自己的对手，并最后忍痛干掉他。黑豹里看过，奇异博士里看过，绿巨人里看过，毒液里看过。拍了那么多遍，还是毫无创新。无关紧要的情节太多，整体拖沓。为什么这么久才看完，因为每次看不了几分钟都忍不住去玩手机。这在之前看其他的漫威电影是不可想象的。
毫无营养的剧情，没劲坏了。好久没见莱托了，就少爷和小11还值得瞅一瞅。女主是好兆头里的那个小姐姐，挺漂亮的。彩蛋是真意外。
Morbius.2022.1080p.WEB-DL.x264.AAC-EVO 蝙蝠侠结合吸血鬼。
反派的黑化毫无铺垫，说变坏就变坏，最终败亡也很是潦草随便。

这才是纯血蝙蝠侠啊，比隔壁DC的蝙蝠侠老爷血统纯正多了。当然剧本老套、人物深度约等于无，打起架来有点像毒液。总体超预期，原以为是超级大烂片呢，其实不至于，甚至可以从头到尾看完。
活脱脱一部低配吸血鬼版的《毒液2》，不知道的以为是毒液+蝙蝠侠的组合。毫无人物塑造，亦无感情铺垫，B 级片的内容却无 B 级片该有的血腥打斗。漫威别拍了，流水线质量越来越不行
粒子特效做得非常好看
介乎于青翼蝠王韦一笑与百特曼之间的男人，期待三个人打一场，另外，卡西欧出了多少钱赞助？
全片最佳是彩蛋…时隔5年又见到秃鹫了。正片里最震撼的场景，诺兰在17年前的《侠影之谜》已经展示过了。
索尼是不是只会这种特效，毒液的时候感觉很新鲜，到了暗夜博士还是这种。从头到尾都在纠结反派为什么要一直穿运动鞋，我是毒液那里笑了hhh
三星，不过为了拉高分数打五星吧，实在不懂为什么别的漫威电影诸如银护2雷神3，甚至如果扣掉三个蜘蛛侠联动带来的情怀加持效应的英雄无归可以有那么高分，这部短小精湛，动作设计华丽，男女主智商在线的电影可以跌破6分，就真的不输以上三部啊，漫威的超英系列现在有这个水准真的该笑了，尤其是终于有个不耍嘴皮子的英雄。
动作设计还行。只是反派设定太单薄，矛盾不行
The line between hero and villain will be broken.
看完SOHO再看这个，真怕马特斯密斯穿上西装就跳起来，老渣男阴影挥之不去
没人在乎我为什么突然变得强壮 & 我永远不会系鞋带
二星给恐怖元素的尝试，索尼的问题是没个好的统筹宇宙的编剧，漫威的问题是脱离附加的类型片元素后超英部分同质化太严重，设定在漫威DC宇宙里算是普通的，莱托也认真演了，可惜就给他表演空间不大，反派的逻辑也很强行，特别是剧情上莫名其妙的正义感，留给自己的毒药，到了最后也没自杀你玩我呢那你干嘛搞这么一出，女主死的太仓促人物没立住不知道女主除了政治正确外意义何在或者说有什么技能，不能人人都是MJ，还有就是一贯的暗场打斗调度太差，亮度太低然后就是扑、挠，怎么能展现和蝙蝠有关，猫女也行啊，凭什么蝙蝠就攻击反派不攻击莱托呢不是都有蝙蝠基因嘛？最后是自杀小队一样对不起莱托，作为一个漫威DC双调选手，莱托选的这个人物太差，毕竟是后超英时代，的确可选空间也不大，现在还入超英有点50年入国军的意思。
B级片质感受限于成本，故事老套就算了，人物塑造太不用心了，索尼的蜘蛛侠宇宙没戏
