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.
绑匪的角色原来是留给河正宇的吧？制片人不难受吗？哪有绑票戏，肉票独自气霸全场的？
大明星也是孤胆英雄？剧情过度戏剧化了，反派也是太普通……
虽然也算全程紧张最后救人桥段也为警察的愚钝揪心，但似乎太注重动作和暴力场面了，反而主角光环和绑架主犯的坏都被放大太多，所以也只是一部单纯往暴力方面改写的韩式犯罪电影
又是炸酱面，他们咋这么喜欢吃
最要命的是，王千源的角色，在翻拍版里，实在没有够得上的。韩版的反派金宰范，给王千源提鞋都不配。
真不如《解救吾先生》，黄政民后半部直接变丁青了，从而导致整个剧情前后割裂，从讲求氛围的写实变成不顾逻辑的爽片，看着尴尬，警察办案弄得非常敷衍，反派即使被拆开，加起来都还不如王千源，就注定它不会对人产生什么共鸣
但是我不喜欢他无脑啊！
《解救吾先生》实在没必要翻拍，没有引起普通人共鸣，被绑时间也短，还不如看《省港旗兵》。
2.5星给黄演技。主要是结局，黄不光救了人质还救了两警察…
2021.10.05一个人在蓝湾看。欧巴在片头电梯里帅了几秒，后面就没了……小眼睛还真是离王千源差远了：前者看着就想抽脸，后者还真是有情有义有头脑的坏蛋哈哈哈…欧巴在，3星打底。ps. 36D怎么了呢？0.1星也跳不起来。
有这样完美的影星偶像吗？在生死之间毫无动摇拼死保护从未谋面的普通人
（翻拍得不太好其实
可能考虑到无法超越原版，用韩国动作电影一贯风格，这种演法给予主演一点颜面。
老黄确实演技牛逼。初入敌营时眼角不经意滑落的泪。
【10月【➊】】【2021 ▲ 642】【≈ 94分钟】【原版 ★ 中文字幕】【⭐】◀▶【⭐⭐⭐】
从原版的警方穷追不舍终破案到黄大神的独力自救其实是很合理的韩国本土化改编，唯一继承了原版的就是真实明星被绑架这个概念，然而黄政民所扮演的黄政民仍旧是一个架空的角色，所以自己演自己也就失去了实际的意义，再加上整个文本又陷入了绑匪内讧自残的闹剧窠臼，反派比起王千源差的又太远，所以尽管黄政民演的十分卖力，仍旧无法拯救全篇的平庸和无趣
通过对比就知道王千源塑造的角色是多么出彩了。
作为商业片，情节毫不拖泥带水，节奏紧凑刺激，男主角黄政民表演很赞，可以提不少影帝奖了。就是绑匪警察都成男主工具人了。
黄政民最差的一部演的是“黄政民”。整个匪徒团队都太戏谑了。因为黄政民一直智商在线，所以只能靠匪徒团队和意外来推动剧情，而匪徒中就没有一个正常人。结尾居然变成雨夜互殴，奇怪。比起【解救吾先生】，后半段的改动莫名其妙，硬生生把硬派的警匪片，拍得像偶像动作片。这一轮国产片明显赢了韩国翻拍，但刘德华的演技依然输黄政民。
之所以看这部电影，就是冲着黄政民来的，但是稍微有点失望。这些绑架犯有点太傻了，犯的错误太多。这就导致剧情稍弱，不够吸引人。
