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.
两个原本悲观而且失落的生命互相救赎的情节真的还是会很动人
打光确实很有铅黄之色。回归电锯老本行。温子仁的优点一直在于节奏和运镜，开始不知所云，但镜头推拉摇移会完美引导你注视早已埋下的伏笔。剧情如何推进，跟着他的镜头走就可以
如果你的生命只剩下10年，你会想要怎么度过？
首先，不要看删减版，非常减分。其次，温子仁是惊悚片导演里最会拍动作戏的，是动作片导演里最会拍惊悚戏的。
活着的印迹，存在过的印迹，是记忆。伴随死亡的瞬间，生命消失殆尽，但留在别人记忆里的影像却不会消失，慢慢淡去。爱过，努力过，影响过别人，可能就足够了
感恩有你 2022年还能看到如此老套狗血的剧情 所以都看颜去了 小松菜奈好好看噢!!
赶紧，这小松菜奈ig终于会说话了，可赶紧播，心都乱了；演员好看，故事难看，太长了，唯一有意思的地方就是闪回的镜头运用了，但难掩整个故事的单调
记录生活还是必要的，无论是影像还是文字，为自己也是为那些记得自己的人。
有更好的绝症题材 坂口健太郎挺让我惊艳的 前后的对比通过声音转换 让我眼前一亮 （甚至有时候有些角度迷之凌凌 难道帅哥都是有共性的吗……
最后没有直接告诉观众茉莉的结局 是为了不破坏这份美好吧
——故事很简单、但我还是有被感动到。小松菜奈的“厌世脸”真是太适合这种对生活丧失斗志、但一笑起来又明媚十足的角色、很喜欢影片里对二人拍摄樱花桥段的巧思设计、另外、看了有一些日本电影、目前为止所听过的电影配乐都做的蛮舒服的、片尾曲是熟悉的野田洋次郎的创作、很好听。
人生好长，长到只能和你短短相遇。
如果说温子仁为了迎和当下观众的「恐怖审美」而自甘堕落到这样的水准简直是自毁招牌，而且这个故事的内核——一个男性怪物隐藏在女性身体内肆意作恶，最后需要女性的「自我觉醒」来除恶也太媚俗，而从故事到近于白痴的表演都是简单而幼稚的。
我tm看到只看了aqy垃圾版的在打低分，血压都飙上来了，作为在恐怖片粪坑里扑腾求生的选手可以告诉你，这部整体质量可以稳坐五星。《致命感应》真的很温子仁，除了动作戏，场景美术不还是原汁原味？还有看到阁楼塌陷那段会想起电锯惊魂，妹妹去废弃研究所会想起死寂，杀手设定和凶器造型，温子仁最擅长的“近在咫尺给你制造无限反转惊喜”，虽然它无关灵异鬼怪，但是女主监狱异变和警局屠杀这两场戏一气呵成很精彩，而且谁会指着血腥的开颅手术片段说这是悬疑片啊……反正你可以永远相信温子仁，除了海王
惊喜不大，温子仁更像是回到了老本行《电锯惊魂》这一类虐杀惊悚片类型上，把恐怖、悬疑、惊悚、虐杀这些常用招数融合到一起来，本质上追求的还是惊吓与刺激，只是这一次温子仁玩的更嗨，氛围的营造逐渐让位于动作场面与虐杀奇观。《致命感应》是复古的、怀旧的，甚至有些自恋的，最经典倒转身体来自《驱魔师》中的名场面，成功借鉴《搏击俱乐部》的配乐与叙事反转，并且形成一种文本上的互文，相对于现代人在资本主义消费语境下的精神危机，温子仁将之缩小致更加个体化的一段尘封多年的仇恨往事，这几乎成为《招魂》宇宙甚至恐怖片的叙事惯例。套路，让恐怖片变得不再恐怖。
在没有看过帕尔玛和早期柯南伯格的前提下，的确收获了不俗的观感。
前半程节奏慢到想快进，最后三十分钟秒变搞笑片，说实话，强烈怀疑是为了国内过审设定的科研说辞，真的是笑死我… （非常适合热爱恐怖片的科研小伙伴一起看一定很欢乐）P.S. Gabriel的超强战力不考虑加入复联么？
经历了太多温仔的制片人 终于是导演了 一定要看（2020.9）。 看过了，温仔，你变了……这个类型其实就是那啥的，不过是新瓶装旧酒……另外，我想不明白，一个背过来行动的人，比正常人更灵活，更厉害？？（2021.9）
nana和坂口的超长mv，各给一🌟还有一颗🌟给黑木华，镜头不多但很有感染力。
感觉上一次看这种纯爱电影可能还是高中大学的时候？可还是会物理心痛。活着，然后再好好活着，比什么都重要。为什么坂口小天使也会老啊😭
