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.
虽然剧情简单套路到极点，但几乎从头打到尾的动作戏拍的确实很不错，大可一观。
这评分太低了吧，虽然称不上亮眼，但是全程打斗很燃也不失精彩，最起码可以达到7分以上，我打个高分支持一下。唯一美中不足，女主长得太磕掺了。
I'm the fucking fight princess
作为快餐喜剧来看还过得去，笑点有，情节弱一些。韩孝周的妆容比海报好看一些，打戏挺real，今年第一个破百万的韩影，打卡纪念。
结果看了发现感官比我想象的好。首先动作设计比我预料的出色太多，打戏很连贯，没有太多切换镜头，而且给公主的动作设计基本上是靠身形灵活打败敌人而不是靠蛮力，所以可信度高了很多。
前几天看完忘了标了，开头以为是娇滴滴公主等待拯救，实际上是铁血女武神，是公主就打下一百层，整部电影除了Joey King一路杀人没有任何其他剧情。
好过图兰朵啊，起码拳拳到肉，虽然穿着婚纱从头打到底对付一群群武装大汉还一骑当千很不科学
剧情有点糙，但是演员还行，光洙这小造型是一直在致敬海贼王么？男主一脑袋离子烫，两个小时的片长让我好几次看得差点出了戏。女主还行，比较养眼。权相宇出演了反派，倒也可圈可点，不过按照他的身段儿去演男配，是要反差感还是缺钱了？特效凑合，打发时间看看可以。
没有比这更燃的电影了。打斗really精彩。脱离旧有的印象。不看不知道。
本来就是个商业片，虽然有傻逼政治正确但是憨憨演憨憨和光洙演傻子真的咋看咋好笑哈哈哈哈

中世纪女版《突袭》，封闭空间单人闯关游戏，只可惜投资上去了，但动作戏的水准下降了，不如《二凤》好看，乔伊金有点担不起来，飒爽的吴青芸这次只是配角，可惜可惜。
真的只能很一般很一般，剧情剧本可以说基本没有，打斗也只能说凑活看，反派是傻子吗，全国除了公主就没人了吗，唯一亮点就是那个找公主胖子，为胖子加0.5分。不推荐。对了可惜了欧嘉兰蔻居然演了个这角色。6分。
还可以的升级打怪爽剧啦，而且那一段威胁坏boss的台词还挺有力量的(^^)
剧情突出一个扯淡，看漂亮大姐姐耍酷就行了。
细节逻辑不行，比如二凤受伤那里，她明知道背后有驸马，还背对。以小打大，以弱打强并不讨喜，中国电影就爱这么搞，比如甄师父打泰森，打博伊卡。比较讨厌那种坏人有实力不杀主角，让主角抓住机会反杀的，显的反派太傻。女主有点丑，不如越南二凤。
有韩国特色的搞笑片，挺欢乐的，一群二货的海上之旅，比第一部多了些搞笑。
我理解反新娘/做自己/救自己的女性主义设定啦，但是这个能编得像样一些么。
故事简单，武打有中国功夫元素。
韩国版加勒比海盗，第一部没看过，但是和第一部又完全没关系，喜剧，画面都没什么问题，纯纯一部爆米花电影，倒是让一些私生粉感觉生不如死了…
