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.
但是！太黑啦太黑啦，看个什么鬼
太闷了，看不下去。。但是得到个知识点，设计埃菲尔铁塔这人也是建造自由女神像那人。。
埃菲尔把爱情铭刻在了巴黎大地上，不知道电影中的爱情故事有多少是重新创作，以前知道埃菲尔是给妻子的爱、不是电影中的阿德里娜。少量的铁塔建造部分有些吸引人，可惜着墨太少。
讲埃菲尔铁塔就不应该把感情线作为主线，何况这条感情戏还是虚构的（特意去看了埃菲尔的生平简介）
因为创意可以，勉强给三星合格。后面有剧透。由于总体很闷，没看认真，细节可能有错。本来是集时空交错，多重人格，鬼打墙死循环于一身，拍得好是一部精品。但这片几条时间线交错得乱七八糟，伏笔不够后面圆不了就强行跳过，重要情节交待不明。吓人的手法老土，连气氛都懒得营造，密逃风格黑暗中时不时跳出来一下，可以说毫不恐怖。结局算拍得可以。但男主明明去超渡地缚灵的，为什么不留下消灭全部恶灵才自渡？妈妈没进去不存在地缚灵吧，他进去干嘛的？还有到最后也没说杀人的主人格是谁。
片名叫《埃菲尔》但就是不好好讲铁塔的事儿，扯东扯西讲了个爱情故事还和铁塔没太大关系。
艾玛·麦肯(《性爱自修室》)、罗曼·杜里斯([新女友])将主演法语新片[艾菲尔铁塔](Eiffel，暂译)。马丁·布尔布隆([要爸还是妈])执导。影片将围绕艾菲尔铁塔背后的爱情故事展开。艾玛将饰演Adrienne Bourgès，一名与工程师居斯塔夫·埃菲尔有关的神秘、出身名门的女性。故事讲述艾菲尔与弗里德利·奥古斯特·巴特勒迪合作成功自由女神像后，他为1889年巴黎世界博览会设计一些引人注目的东西而倍感压力，在寻找灵感时，他偶遇了Adrienne，他们之间禁忌的激情也为艾菲尔铁塔的设计带来了灵感。该片将于8月开拍。
跳舞那场戏和床戏都很养眼，法国人拍爱情片就是浪
有土屋大脸和某位肥秋系拉垮偶像 藤原龙也怎么摊上这么个卡司阵容
叙事太杂乱无章了，有时空并行的线索，偏不把每个人交代清楚，全部要靠边看边猜。开始男主的巫师妈驱魔，然后来了个自杀。后面情节实际又是多年后，男主又进入一个废旧的房子去调查，有病行了几年前几个在这里探险的一女两男大学生，此处风格又像伪纪录片一样摇摇晃晃，好久开始在黑洞洞的房间里不断地循环，反正就是走不出那幢楼，没觉得有多恐怖，真是看得好累，还不如昆池岩那种片子。门上有个，打的符咒写着死者打不开此门，他们一直出不去，就说明他们死了呗。导演叙事的能力太差了
驱魔人不行啊，体能不行，连鬼魂都干不过，好可惜母子皆惨死
风俗业司机小说家误入一家三口失踪疑案，旧书屋老头，小白脸食物链，江湖理发店，都市传说大哥大；前半段社会性文学性和悬疑感都塑造不错，结尾 Peter Pan 落点实在不太行
我只想说，不要做超出自己能力范围的事。自己老妈都解决不了的恶鬼，你这个半吊子就能行了？凭啥呀？
100多年前建起300米高的庞然大物，确实让人惊叹。尤其是安装时出现问题后的精准调节不禁让人捏了一把汗。
刚从铁塔回来就发现这部电影上映了。两个演员怎么可以这么没有化学反应…
大杂烩，其实算有一点新意，可是编剧手法不高明，有点看得莫名奇妙。前30分钟看得无聊，后面30分钟蛮恐怖，可是能不能不要那么黑啊！！！啥都看不到，没有两个月亮好
其实并不反对鬼片里面搞什么穿越之类的元素，但是多个时空死了多个人，你得给观众讲清楚吧，全靠观众自行脑补吗，那编剧费用倒是给结算下啊
想像鬼入侵一样讲述不同时间空间交错的故事，但是乱得不行……
