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.
居然巴的造型都高度还原了？！！！
花里胡哨，恶趣味之王。恨不得每一分钟都加进去一个奇怪但不好笑的笑点。情节依旧很无脑。
不愧这个分数，相较于前几部真人，终于没有了那种尴尬的漫改感觉，角色的低调避免了对动漫夸张形象的模仿（如银魂），而整体一直在一种缓慢的节奏中营造悲伤的情绪，也相当恰到好处。闪现的几场动作戏并未过多抢占眼球，真正的为人物而设。
虽然插科打诨爆浆反套路，但看多了还是腻。与其说是风格，其实只能算导演耍的小聪明，这仍然是部亮点不多的超英电影，有着万变不离其宗的剧作模式，也就比工业流水线上的好一些。从商业片的角度看，似乎有点过于胡闹了，够爽不够回味。不懂评论区高潮的点，本以为会是《小丑》《平行宇宙》这种质量，结果也就《银护》2.0。
独立出的这段故事很完整，非漫画读者也可以看。我是看过漫画的，所以其实更没什么信心，没想到最后还很受感动。
这部回到了刽子手时代的绯村，所以相较于其他几部较为血腥残酷，详细讲述了两单疤痕的来源，顺此能洞悉绯村后来使用逆刃剑表达忏悔之意的来龙去脉。为了消灭他，那复杂的机关布置得有点惊天动地啊～
在我看来整部浪客剑心就是为了塑造雪代巴这一个角色。动画电影版无可超越。
我小时候真的巨讨厌雪代巴，可我看片的时候居然关于巴的所有剧情都记得无比清楚.真神奇.小时候只觉得雪代巴欺骗了剑心.现在才看明白一个女人的挣扎.爱上了杀夫仇人的她，何尝不比剑心亲手杀死她更痛苦.
一开场还在想谁来演桂小五郎呢，没想到竟然是益生菌。村花虽然毫无雪代巴的气质但是也算尽力了，没有原作的音乐效果怎么差了这么多！
浪漫，至死不渝。
开头就是漫威式的插科打诨，打戏都平平无奇，Boss战也是很水，就这一帮不知道什么人还在吹DC最佳，照这样下去，DC完了
由于OVA动画的水准实在太高，二者剧情又基本一致，不可避免的会大幅提升期望值，并将二者放在一起比较。其实是符合预期的。一些场景甚至让人向往那个年代的京都。和冲田总司的打斗也非常精彩。
打戏依然稳定输出 最后一段血色和雪色的衬托很美 作为没看过漫画的观众整体很满足 剑心 美强惨爱好者的福音 佐藤健nb
我只能怪发明数码相机的人，如果这电影还是用胶片拍的，根本不会有人舍得往电影里面塞进那么多垃圾small talk和little trick特效来贿赂观众
真爽啊，只有这部才是刽子手杀人像跳舞一样。但是巴的感情没有什么递进突然就说爱上杀夫仇人了。其实大boss也不是很厉害。有点可惜大战要靠巴牺牲自己才能取胜。没有发大招。
还能有比他妈的一只派大星摧毁一座城市更疯狂的事情吗???!!!
爽爆，滚导哈哈哈哈全片强调“我都是为了孩子！！”，这个比复联观感上要爽，人物动机也更纯粹，哈莉单人打戏已经到了膜拜的地步，全片无废人，因为废人五分钟就死了哈哈哈哈哈！
目前为止今年最好看的商业片，古恩的角色塑造能力和群像刻画真的很厉害，完全放飞自我但也很尊重观众。古恩的个人经历也告诉我们，有真才实学到哪里都吃得开。不似那些只会营销耍猴的“导演”，新片拍的一个赛一个烂，沦落到只能拍流量网大了还不忘蹭大ip的热度，活像个小丑。
始终最爱的一篇，高还原度，喜欢。我觉得是一语双关，一方面是给自己的未婚夫，对不起，没法替你复仇，只能留下一道刀疤，一方面是给自己真正的丈夫剑心，对不起，为了复仇，必须在你脸上再留下一道刀疤。
DC的都这样吧 普普通通 无咩新意 就图个恶搞 爽 剧情无什么印象深刻的~~~~~除了温导的海王~~~~~~
