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.
同样是讲新冠疫情 中国的拍成了主旋律式国家荣誉感高度集中的热血片子 援助则用一个小护理中心的状况来映衬他们新冠疫情的形势严峻 像《泰坦尼克号》那样以小见大的模式来叙述大事件 有一说一 后者更接地气更让人动容。精华在于中间Herc病发那晚的长镜 把Sarah手足无措的那种茫然却又因为职责所在而坚定且义无反顾的勇敢拍出来 她也害怕啊 害怕自己被传染害怕Tony被传染害怕Herc会死去 但她爱这份工作啊她也爱这几位早已是朋友的住客啊 我想 这是面对新冠疫情的最真实的反应。朱迪科默是个好演员 我以前错过了她 但我以后会记住她。
几度热泪盈眶，是洪给世上最真诚最纯洁最热爱生命的人的礼物
3.5-4。整个观影过程很愉快，可以说是笑声不断了。小说家的设定蛮有意思，一方面像是洪的代言人，一方面又过于执着输出的想法、一味只会强调概念层，加之连个行业从业者都不是，又像是洪对对他作品进行一遍又一遍“点评”的观众的嘲笑。
你好漂亮，你很有魅力，那么我们就合拍电影吧。雏菊美丽，用黑白镜头很可惜，那么彩色拍摄也可以。电影结束，角色散去，明亮而空荡的过道，刻意提醒着这不是“纪录片”。可是，多少自我和爱意，心知肚明，早已潜入画中。
《草叶集》里有一幕金敏喜对着花盆笑，这部在结尾安排金敏喜捧着花束唱结婚进行曲，想狠狠踹翻这碗狗粮。看《独自在夜晚的海边》时感慨金敏喜的演艺道路似乎已经被洪困住了，但千金难买她愿意，双向奔赴拦不住，作为围观者只能祝福她。喝酒聊天戏还是洪氏出品的最舒服，整体感觉确实比以前松弛轻盈了很多。
评分那么高我却完全无感。应该是剧本不行，啰嗦。看在主题好的面子上给三星。20分钟弃剧。
本片明艳的黑白摄影，显得凝重，很符合洪几乎定格的场景互动风格，很显然在这里，洪的推镜更慢了，情节的衔接更舒服，但也没失去洪独特的文本性。
最近几年看每一部洪尚秀都会开始思考时间对人的作用，然后发现它可以是很动人的。
洪导演真的是个浪漫的人。黑白画面都掩盖不了金敏喜的美，一颦一笑牵动着我。说到不用彩色画面拍摄手捧的花朵很可惜，下一秒就变成了彩色。“我爱你”“我爱你”，直接泪目。有两幕非常有感触，一幕是小说家和金吃饭的时候，叙述自己失去了写作的力气：把一些微不足道的小事夸大成很有意义的事情；第二幕围在一起喝酒，小说家对金说：这个故事并不重要。不需要引人入胜的东西。
Some have too much, yet still do crave; I little have, and seek no more. 6
大概有三场戏比较好，对比挺浅显的，其它没什么了。我觉察出一种对使用工具的脆弱的温情，这也许就是文化人的爱吧，宛如萌宠vlog。
噢这么简单的故事 伪纪录片拍摄 直面镜头骂政府 能不五星？
最近几年看每一部洪尚秀都会开始思考时间对人的作用，然后发现它可以是很动人的。
好多长镜头……剧情好平……为最后的几分钟加一星吧。
我想穿上那件超帅的背心通宵蹦迪。
一封表面的情书蕴含着深层的自省，真羡慕洪的创作状态，希望未来我也能给我的金敏喜拍一部这样的电影
外国疫情电影，和国内的同题材电影形成鲜明对比。灾难之下，医疗体制的崩溃，情感的崩溃，往往都在一瞬间。而灾难里人与人的连系也变得愈加容易亲密。
看似随意稀松平常的影像，洪老头其实拍的很精巧。巧妙的遇见，拍摄的留白让故事充满了洪式的美感。另外要说的是，看洪的电影一直有种很强的参与感这部尤为强烈，感觉你就在对话现场（或许我们都像拉面店外的小妹孩）下一秒就可以打断人物的交流，但是你不忍。/题外话：“确定了人选，然后我才动笔去写”，或许这也是洪老头对金敏喜的告白吧；都说是洪常秀成就了金敏喜，但后者又何尝不是洪的灵感缪斯呢，洪这么高产和他遇见金是脱不了干系的。
看到护理中心里的老弱病残，没有任何防护装备，得不到政府的任何帮助，只能等着一个个死去，然后被摘掉房门上的姓名牌，这是英国真正的至暗时刻。
只有我一个人觉得小说家这个角色言行举止太讨人厌以至于毁了整部电影的观感吗？？？？？？
