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.
全程都很黑，细节看不清，事实上，黑帮片不太适合承载过于复杂的叙事，这片一点也不热血，应该叫《阴谋》
可以是可以，但也没有那么可以，但是总体来说还是不错的。
用脚做的剪辑，段落之间有很强的断错感，像是拼凑起来的碎片。虽然讲明白了故事，但没有任何代入感，谈不上角色塑造，都是工具人。莫比亚斯被蝙蝠包围的时候，差点以为这是索尼拍的《新蝙蝠侠》……
而这个电影里，母亲的养育方式最终杀死了所谓“善良”的孩子，当她看到鸟孩重生之后凶狠的样子，母亲还似乎挺满意的，这个孩子会去拿奖牌、会让她开心。
实话说给6.3分太低了，虽然比不上新世界，但没有卧底题材能拍出这种剧情已经很不错了。差的地方就是剧情有些个地方有点莫名其妙，我还是没理解哲镇为什么不杀主角，而最后主角选择的大佬前面好像就出现过一次吧，没铺垫。
看不懂这种韩国黑帮剧，各种轻易翻盘。。哪热血，明明就是小混混逆袭记
3.5吧… 可以说全剧还是比较高能，北欧风格果然清奇，虽然看到怪物会进化一早猜到会变成小女主。但小姑娘的演绎几乎完美，剧情也有不少的小高潮~ 但鸟人从哪里来，为何会进化没有交代，有点疑惑。家里出现血腥，床单脏成那样家人愣是没人发现么？！ 个人喜好…最后安排小女主被母亲刺死不是很喜欢，明明也可以有其他更好的安排。唉~
节奏不快不慢，剧情简单，整体还是值得一看的小语种电影。
虽然大体猜测的剧情都对 但女孩每一次面临选择还是希望她往好的方向选
名为热血，实际丝毫不热血。男主在片尾走向大海时的的情绪崩溃倒是给全片升华点睛了不少。
3.5分 尔虞我诈 最后只能被迫无奈认清事实 做到最大 好像年纪大了 看不了这种刀子捅来捅去 感觉真的好痛 最后复仇般杀了该杀的人 却没明白怎么又杀了要保护的人……
表面完美，内在压抑的病态家庭，孵化出的凶残鸟儿倒是和他们很般配。
这部片跟往常的韩国黑帮电影不太一样，男主没有从头杀到尾，出手的次数都不超五指之数，更不用说最后还是靠开枪杀人。但是通过猜疑、背叛、复仇等剧情的设置把黑帮给人带来的影响和绝望体现的淋漓尽致，而且人物塑造的很成功，尤其是突出了男主的矛盾性格，男主一面是重情义，甚至有时候还有点善良，但另一面是狠辣无情，当那个叫自己爸爸的孩子被捅死时，当知道被兄弟背叛和算计时，他的爆发又是那么的痛苦和揪心。当然，电影也有缺点，比如那个贩毒的龙强对待男主的态度转变的有些突兀，而男主兄弟铁镇死在他的枪下又显得有些简单。整部电影里面的人物关系错综复杂，背后的布局看第一遍时还没有完全搞懂，值得再刷一遍。
就这？男主也太没主见跟想法儿了吧，还混什么黑涩会~
母亲曾经是滑冰运动员 但无论如何对女儿寄予厚望并造成压力实在太俗套了女儿和怪鸟伙伴也泛滥了 唯唯诺诺的父亲更像仆人 可能展开讨论的点 孵化首先批评母亲的教育方式以及出轨(就算找真爱）不能以身作则 然后女孩和怪鸟有了畸形的母女关系鸟逐渐变成它的母亲-女孩的模样形成对比但比较牵强重点放错了 海报上的纸面具片中只有男孩戴过但其他人才是真正伪装
五星！不怕你骄傲！
女儿是替妈妈孵化了这颗蛋吧，看样子妈妈要把这只乌鸦养大了……
江湖生，江湖死，江湖恩怨江湖见
最后这对母女才tm是绝配啊…母亲的好日子来咯…
黑吃黑，要么沉底，要么登顶。配乐挺好的，演员选的，没特点
