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.
也就一个打斗的长镜头能看，其他全倍速看完，四倍速。
吐的那段笑出来了，加一分
再一次让人怀疑网飞的编剧工作已经全权交给了AI，没有灵魂，浅薄，诡异，俩主演都一并在这个烂剧本里面挣扎，凯文哈特起码是本色出演，伍迪哈里森则简直把别扭写在了脸上，糟糕的剧本和糟糕的导演只会让他们暴露出来，仅剩几个可取的动作场面和iPhone电影摄影风格，也是从优秀电影和优秀导演中借鉴的噱头拼凑而成，是部完全可以跳过不看的片子。
韩国人对于“先sex后爱”这个题材吃的不够透啊 也不是所有东西都可以照搬老美的OK？其实很不合适诶
伍迪·哈里森代替了杰森·斯坦森，与凯文·哈特一起主演动作喜剧Man From Toronto。光头斯坦森坚持该片要拍成R级，而索尼拒绝，好在伍迪哈里森喜剧演技也很在线。尤其GYM大乱斗配合躁动的Rock动作戏非常精彩！以为小打小闹没想全篇还是舍得烧经费炸飞机✈️！迈阿密男相当喜剧的一个杀手角色……funny！
我再也不相信Netflix出的电影了，就必须嘴贱话痨配冷血硬汉吗🙃
这个剧本怎么能拿到百想最佳呢…全钟瑞和孙锡久都属于很有个性的演员，各有各的性感，搭在一起有点勉强。而且孙锡久哪里像搞文学的…不过全钟瑞美得让人移不开眼
太模式化了 剧本偷懒的爆米花片 Kevin Hart以后每个电影都得这样了吗
看完什么都没记住的爆米花电影 看得时候感觉还挺轻松愉快 假期聚会看看还不错
合格的爆米花片 小个子男主演得挺搞笑的 无它
有趣更胜《王牌保镖》，性感不输杰森·郭达。
我居然觉得在波多黎各吐的时候最搞笑哈哈哈哈
感觉两位演员的张力在杂志宣传图上更强
喜剧演员多少都带着鲜明的个人色彩，Kevin Hart也不例外，不过这也是卖点吧。
超级庸俗的炮友变恋情的故事，但是孙锡久就算是这种这么土的马桶盖头，也是色欲满满的style啊
两个屌丝嘴炮男士很期待
正片和预告片相符 健身房的打斗场面居然有KingsMan的感觉 山下智久打了一下酱油
是好笑的 很像小時候的那種搞笑好萊塢喜劇 僅此而已
网飞流水线作品，看个热闹可以，考虑剧情就算了。
比你丫闭嘴差些 不过也还是挺可乐 帅气逼人的东京男孩没想到只摆了个pose
