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.
美国到底劳动力短缺到什么地步，第二天刑事案开庭，前一天还要正常工作。
独角戏电影，演得还是可以的，就是剧情偏弱点。
很美式的翻拍，好的部分还原作的形式感和剧情，却少了原作克制的质感带来的感染力，仿佛一道素三丝的功夫菜给整成海鲜麻辣烫了，添加的警察暴力议题也比较游离，不太成功。
减分的翻拍，只有吉伦哈尔的卖力表演可以看了。
剧情很乏味，更多是靠内心戏的不断体味，老美太喜欢拍这种内心的自我成长了，与现实相比，勇气太难。
没看过原版这版还行，看过就只能三星，翻拍的规规矩矩。没啥惊喜。
故事蛮有趣的，一度对于男主的行为感到愤怒，心想应该是隐藏线男主经历过什么，结果情感上并不是很能串联起来…
这两个神经病可以锁死了。美国片我吐了，泛化人性就是泯灭人性。杰克吉伦哈尔在这里面演技也太夸张了，过度夸张，像个初出茅庐的小演员在过度表演。
所以伊桑·霍克呢？就吉伦哈尔一个人在那边努力加班，加班就算了第二天还蹲号子了？漂亮国就这样欺负打工人？这电影海报我以为是猩球崛起番外篇呢
最近这两年怎么都要拍独角戏？始终没有哪部比当年的狙击电话亭更惊艳。
键盘与圣母的赞歌，一切皆大欢喜，毕竟灯塔国
其实最后的质量也算尚可，做了些本土化的改动 杰伦哈尔也算比较努力的演了演 虽然不咋地。对比原作少了原创的光环，只能说是非常平庸的作品，关键这片花了这么久才出来，明明成本超级超级低，你说网飞股价能不低么。
翻拍的丹麦的the guilty。因为已经知道剧情所以我真的很难投入，时不时想快进，但是为了欣赏吉伦哈尔的演技我一直克制住了。感觉没有原版好，吉伦太躁动了，电话里的声音表演痕迹很重，最后的处理也太直白了。不管怎么样对各种精神疾病多关注真的很重要。
话务员独角戏这个设计挺好的，就是这个剧情稍微有点偷懒
男主角脑子有病，报警女是个疯子，听的我想打人
即便是翻拍这个分数也真的太低了，是福奎阿的镜头不好还是吉伦哈尔的表演不强？！这种怼脸的大特写对导演和演员的要求都太高了，而且人物的心理轨迹要比原版还要清晰完整，这么局促的空间内节奏好得不得了，每一个气口都位置都对，且该短短该长长的（除了结尾厕所戏结尾长的有点狗尾续貂），豆瓣这评分是不是有点装大了？！
桌面电影往悬疑类型化的好参考，把画面更多留在显示器里可能更有趣，不然就成一半独角戏，一半话剧了，没有电影感
老吉的演技真的好好哦，表情情绪刻画的一流，比原版视觉体验会更丰富，内容上多了一层时代的背景，山火，以及个人情感纠葛。对原版的个人同意真相的情节也做了先后顺序的调整，使剧情以及人物情感铺垫更为合理了！
节奏感很好，Jack个人表演show，故事一般吧，太多这样的小成本制作了
翻拍除了好莱坞味道外并无惊喜，Jake也老了。
