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.
Probably Chris Evans' own idea.
作为一部动作片 没有一个场景让我印象深刻 可以说全片毫无波澜 你敢信美队的角色给我的感觉竟是个逗比 罗素兄弟拍的不是史诗级烂片 但真的很失水准
以神秘色彩包装的心理剧，更多的是创伤而非恐怖，让人想起一些西方古典戏剧，而不是当代恐怖片。在婚姻生活中，你看着所爱之人产生了畸变，他想要被爱，可你对他所有变化视而不见，最终变成你不认识的怪物。导演用生动作呕的视觉意象传达了婚姻中男性的不同面，它们甚至是迭代的。让我佩服的是，除了结尾的夜景，大部分时间发生在光天化日下的温馨景致中，但畸变是不知不觉中滋生的。
两男配一女，<红色通缉令>同款配方，用2亿刀预算堆砌烧出多场动作戏，布拉格街头飞车枪战最佳（据说花掉4000万），但文戏都是过场式，弱智程度可以说和CE演的角色半斤八两，纯到不能再纯粹的爆米花，打发时间爽一爽可以。之前网飞计划把电影打造成007式的系列，不过以他们目前的情况和影片口碑，以后还会不会轻易投资这种规模的制作，比较难说了。（罗素兄弟俩采访时也承认，之所以拍<灰影人>，是为了能把<瞬息全宇宙>拍出来）
25.05.2022 | @ Regal Majestic | 也没有打什么女拳，只是把男权捣碎了踩在脚下而已。IGN评分去死吧居然还比不上Old。标题翻译请不要去性别化谢谢，这片讲的就是男人。
谁能想到有生之年还能再次看到JOI和K搭档，爷青回了
阵容强大、场面够炫，钱确实烧到刀刃上了。可是剧情也太拉跨了......
最有意思的一段是吹散蒲公英后边的那部分，任何人都能闯入女主私人领地这个设定。
有钱就可以造作，就可以全世界到处飞、烧钱，并且射击别国的警察，Netflix再次证明了有的电影只适合在大银幕观看。PS：茱莉亚·巴特斯长大了，而且没有长残！可给人高兴坏了。
有点受够A24旗下导演们拍这种不能被称之为电影的，没有半点剧情的摄影大片混搭意识流神经质的长视频了。很显然这样为影评人和文艺片爱好者而生的片子可以就其中的大把隐喻和暗示写上千把上万字的解读，但站在一个普通观众的角度而言我现在只想给这片子打无数个差评。恐怖片如果未来的流量密码都是这样靠抛弃叙事的本质转而堆砌怪诞刻奇的想象和段子加上似有似无的主题与缓慢游移的摄影镜头拼凑而成，那迟早会被观众反噬。这样的电影在前几年还让人有些好奇，然而现在看起来只剩下烦躁。全片的水分挤一挤变成一个小时左右的短片观感甚至会好于现在的成片很多。
不要思考，看高司令打就够了～动起来真是帅炸
九分，作为一部动作爽片绝对是达标甚至超标的，比Netflix前几部“大片”好的太多了，不懂评价怎么会这么低
这么好的卡司拍的这么烂真是绝了，让高司令和桃拍个GV都比这强
Harper最后的表演是那种“你真给我整无语了”式的
还是挺喜欢，即便它有些过于直白。加兰这次把绿色拍成了一种焦虑的色彩，其实比起后面的红色要更加诱人，有一种可以被吞噬的吸引力，氛围营造还是很绝。将女性的日常恐惧具像化，字面意义上的关于「男人」的惊悚片，把恶以“爱”的名义裹胁，可以说是大面积扫射了，毕竟都“一个样”。最后的套娃简直是年度WTF名场面…（btw, 水野索诺亚这次声音出演，果然从不缺席
与加兰的前作手法类似，靠大量镜头运动和紧张的配乐营造惊悚诡异的气氛，《男人》相对弱化了其前作的科幻元素，反倒更突岀心理惊悚，美丽的乡村风景，开阔的空间反倒更放大了这种诡异感，而遇到的千人一面的男性其实是不同层面的恐惧外化，套娃生殖的部分确实是很刷新观感，但是这种设计还是感觉不如他之前作品里面科幻概念铺设的完整，还是更喜欢《湮灭》这种气质的作品。（7.5/10）
虽然豆瓣里面一群装逼犯说模仿007和谍影重重的，但是这确实是这两年比较亮眼诚意满满的动作片了，无论是喜欢美队，高司令还是无暇赴死里面的古巴妹，里面都有亮眼的表现。有老牌（老套）动作片的味道，值得四星。
that ken doll 哈哈 好像还致敬了哈利波特与火焰杯？？总之不太好看
反派的贱比恶更特么的有特色，美队反而不那么出众了。。。。
美丽的自然风光，契合的音乐，最关键的是淡定的女主，无需尖叫留着力气分析情况找武器自保反击才是正途。
