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.
相当喜欢，血腥可能不是非常有创意但打击感十足，每个道具都充分利用，小梗不密集但也零散分布，还有很多小转折，即使会料到也蛮搞笑，甚至结局也设计了一下，很不戳
猎魔人的世界里，确实任何一方势力都站不到道德高地上...但大家并不蠢啊！像这部动画里全员皆傻逼的设定与剧情，我确实大为震撼。维瑟米尔与初恋的故事被弄成这副狗血德行，确实不是一般的团队能干得出来的。再一次，网飞去死一死好嘛？
除了节奏有点快，拍的蛮好的，抓住了猎魔人世界的精髓

顶多算合格吧，各种巧合加上强大的生命力，所有人从来不补刀，剧情就靠不补刀后的反杀来推进
看之前：这个维瑟米尔也太帅了点，正片会不会不行啊？看之后：猎魔人就是这个味儿，香！
以牙还牙，以眼还眼。这世界上总会有其他怪物。
最后还得弄个皆大欢喜的结局。
剧本和真人TV版同是Beau DeMayo……所以这个维瑟米尔的主要重心是跟杰洛特一样遇到怪物解决事件，并且找到怪物的真正来源，光有怪物事件只是普通的支线（这个真的十分普通，虽然杀杀杀，却缺乏原著和游戏描绘杀戮中各方冲突的复杂原色），然后填上很长的闪回来挖掘维瑟米尔的童年，用一定篇幅展现了培养猎魔人的青草试炼，这些可能会让原著和游戏Fans感到兴奋。说明了维瑟米尔如何长成势利轻浮的猎魔人之后，故事进行中很多地方看得出节奏不好，还有跟原著设定有相矛盾的时候，比如说，维瑟米尔其实比凯尔莫罕还老，后面才有法师带领一群憎恨猎魔人的人血洗凯尔莫罕，维瑟米尔因为不在城里才成为狼学派最后的大师……不过无所谓。从另一种角度的故事看待The Witcher世界非人怪物和扭曲人类以及不是东西的猎魔人还是可以的。
战斗戏漂亮，特别是女术士施法那段儿，姿态的优雅跟力量感都体现得很好。可惜故事太赶了，按这剧情密度，抻到两个半小时观感估计会好很多。
Vesemir好好好！音乐风格和游戏好像～
还行吧，画风有点日式美系那种感觉，维瑟米尔年轻时冒险，无论在原著里还是在游戏里都没有的，纯粹原创，不功不过，另外吐槽一句：无论是哪个国家的故事，老美都要塞一两个黑人，开头那个黑人小孩，还特么是贵族，人家好好的北欧故事哎！网飞要是拍《水浒传》，那宋江和铁牛肯定也是黑人，正宗尼哥！
分镜和bgm出色 原创少年浪荡威瑟米尔的故事 除了世界观外唯一没有毁原著的地方是人类猎魔人和精灵互相利用憎恨的关系 其他表现一般 爱情故事俗套 切成日语配音无违和感 光头老杰好雷
看的英语版，配音带着伦敦腔，有些尴尬；剧情没有那么多的冲突，主要没玩过游戏，所以共鸣不多。
没有期待，所以感觉还不赖。
8/10 终于看到了维瑟米尔老爹的故事。重回充满魅力的天体交汇世界；直球剧情，简单粗暴、黑暗血腥；情感线非常动人；与游戏版很相像的音乐风格；借助动画的表现形式，战斗力被史诗级夸张化；依旧是悲剧、无奈、复杂的宿命感故事；总会出现新的怪物，杰洛特...
音效真是拳拳到肉，看得我真怕后面突然冒出一个人，真的太吓人了。最后的反转真是又现实又讽刺。尼玛小蓝推荐得很好，下次不许推荐了。集合了我所有不喜欢的点，婚姻矛盾、暴力血腥，真是太合我胃口了呕！
剧情改得太牵强，整体节奏也非常跳脱很难带入情绪。凯尔莫罕的毁灭本可拍成更为壮美的悲剧的，本片看起来却更像是一个被猎魔人毁掉童年的女术士闹别扭引发的大乱斗，说实话维瑟米尔的形象也没太立得起来。但打斗还算好看，与青梅竹马多年后再见依然坚贞的爱情与月光下的那一吻还是很动人的。PS.法印加强太多，猎魔人都要变术士了
维瑟米尔太让人心疼。Gay骆驼小时候居然是光头！！！
明明想互相伤害的两个人因为共同的利益与坏人斗智斗勇，最后人生逆袭又和好如初，实在是太讽刺了。前半部分有点慢血浆都集中在后半部分。气氛有点搞笑，但并不是很爽。
