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.
画面好看，但是后续故事乏力，几个女演员也长得太像了…脸盲
平淡不代表有深意。中途推理很莫名其妙。一个画像师，靠一些磁带画出了凶手，磁带又是谁录的呢？叙述遭遇的不是已经被害了吗？凶徒谁要出镇都有消息，说明是个熟人社会，怎么老刑警查案资料新刑警队长没见过不知道吗？怎么就被刚来的上海画像师拿到来画像了呢？场景也很简单。摄影构图也不是很成熟，不知道要表达什么，也没能带起多少观众的情绪。选角凑和，至少严华的果敢和林音的柔弱形成对比。但还有位姑娘，存在的意义就是证明主角认真，但直到最后才说出重大破案线索，好莫名啊。
不知道为什么看完让我想起我的母亲，她把知道的都教给了我，她让我去过更辽阔的人生，我却像严华一样，我变成了林音，我把我的母亲对我的祝福变成了自己的枷锁。
三星半，依旧很是暴力，卡司依旧强大，不过这次是中坚挑大梁。铃木亮平表现的很是亮眼，节奏比1差了点，特别是结尾，有些刻意了。
太平淡了，现在来看这个系列风格有点偏老派了
文艺片和犯罪片的恰到好处的融合，促成了这部佳作。
完成度很高的文艺悬疑电影，让人惊喜。严华顶替了自己仰慕的县城首席芭蕾舞演员林音，并帮她复仇，杀死了凶手，这是真相。另一个舞蹈演员的叙述是带有误导的，她从来没上场，指的是她上场是作为林音。
画面非常棒，有时甚至有油画的味道，剧情稍弱些
本来时隔好久已经把孤狼1的内容忘掉了。结果重回开一看感觉又有那味了。
我有病 连看两集 村长 和我们渡部老师长得好像！
剧情整体不太能撑起来，但黑道的恶与建制的恶都得以凸显，两者交织之中将剧情逐步推进，细究的话一些点还是不太能理顺，血腥戏不如第一步，挖眼、断手以及最后一场肉搏不如第一部洗手间武士刀那场，但最后日冈三枪击溃林上眼睛也算排遣了全程的压抑。
开篇画面极度不适，有必要搞这么长时间的死人的特写镜头吗？
总想挨一点《杀人回忆》，可除了怀旧的滤镜和台词里偶然提起的时代符号，其它都显得冗长和无趣。
没有了役所大叔，就仿佛失去了灵魂，即使是主役的松坂都被铃木亮平盖过了风采。
第二部，最后收尾的时候，或者下半部分已经优点烂了，很多不符合逻辑的操作。我都看傻了。
挺难看的，封面松坂桃李不仔细看以为是小栗旬，第一次喜欢斋藤工果然他就不该演美男，上林杀老大跟玩一样，最后枪战也是站那一副导演说打不中别白费力气的样子，后半部分拍上层警察的黑暗和西野七濑制造老头车祸有韩国味但是韩国可不会拍这么敷衍
狗尾续貂之作，故事平庸又不通逻辑，果然和level 1差了一个level，这故事情节拍的不如港片，黑帮的气质又赶不上北野武，冗长又不干脆，孤狼是没了，只剩下血腥了。
两个丧家犬的战斗：01.一个为了自己所谓的和平；02一个为了所谓的荣耀；时长过于冗长了，故事根本撑不起来两个小时，90分钟足够，有些拖沓，拔高评分的点几乎都是在第三幕强行解释，前面没有铺垫。
如果说日冈刑警继承了大上的权衡之术，那大概只能应付正常的黑道，遇上上林这样的疯狗就很难预判了，因为其目的只是为了毁灭，再者日冈也没有完全领会前辈的制衡反而成了警方的棋子和弃子。剧情连贯，场面够血腥够暴力，相关人物一个个不出意外的遭遇意外，全程高能，但结尾略显无力。
完全不逊于第一部的好看。这是两匹凶恶孤狼的互相撕咬与闪烁着幽暗邪恶目光的浮世绘。这系列本无意把重点放在传统黑帮片里黑社会随着时代式微的记录，而是揭示着黑社会犯罪与政治犯罪的巨大区别。后者常以程序正义之名做着恶行易施之实。两种以极端方式实施善与恶的力量，任由腐败黑暗的司法体系的操纵，直至共同毁灭。结尾山隐里明灭可见的孤狼成为一种怀疑，亦是一种希望。极端的残忍画面、无良媒体的无来由改变立场、无视人物行为逻辑，为残酷而残酷的动作场面都为这部作品增加了瑕疵。但这一定是一部好电影，希望以后会有两部剪为一部的导剪版。
