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.
最后，原来谢哥是键盘。
差点被名字耽误了的良心剧，算给网大正名了。比妖怪更可怕的是变坏的人心
引用-“被捂嘴也要把实话说明白的情怀”
Lea全裸那一躺真的是最高美学 其余未见有新鲜感 Sadism orgasm也都是上个世纪的产物了KS演技又下滑 实在太难了 全片有句台词最能评价这电影 “I dont like the ears, they’re striking but thousand ears is not good design, the extra ears don’t even work. They’re just for show.” 一个词“累赘”
（ps网大胜过国产垃圾电影，指日可待）
“孩子的话，谁信？” “瞎子说的话，谁信？”
网大可以拍到这种程度真的很难得，不露肉，不瞎搞笑，剧情层层叠进，除了结尾复仇那一段太简单其他的很对得起网大了。希望以后的网大也能如此，向奈飞看齐，即使让我花钱我也认。现在目中无人出来，等看口碑
皆为人为
在锈迹斑斑蚊虫滋长的一片颓废里，身体成了最时髦的植物。人们潜心培育、耐心修建、攀比展示，仿佛身体真的具有了启示一般的意义—政治和科学都无关痛痒，只有最畸形诡异的身体值得膜拜。在施虐与受虐的狂欢中，作为主观的身体渴望被割裂、与他人一起鲜血横流。在这样的世界里谋杀与艺术相比都算得上是文明。然而神化的身体归宿只是与末日的世界一起互相搓磨，名为身体的植物只在剧毒的塑料上畸形盛放。
网络大电影在重重限制下还能拍出罗生门的感觉 值得支持
近乎静止的攻击形态，未见人物动线，唯有场景变换往复；武器来自于观看的权利，而杀伤力则被拥有阐释权的人决定。那些局促但热烈的吻，和急切的告白与质问，不是因为爱慕或渴求，而是极尽空虚后的自怜。蠕动的器官在体内肆意生长，四肢却仍颤动着妄想改造。人物关系的涌动渐渐退居幕后，只剩下绝望自毁的人（器官），被侵蚀仍苟活的人（器官），和尚存旺盛生命力而被剿杀的人（器官）。
当我看到他们坐船跑了的时候我想给三颗星，内心纠结三颗半，内心想着真狐仙天收结果当看到张什么没死我想给四颗星了，在然后看到这仅仅是一个没人信的故事我肯定得我的四星，结果画面一转我心里那个难受啊你还真是个故事，三星，就三星吧。毕竟一开始的吊儿郎当演的确实不行，这个武力值的分配也挺迷惑，最后那个镜头我觉得……嗯，虽说有点不太好，但真的像整的……还有互相残杀的地方太突兀，本身故事就是一个亮点，没必要插进来一个你能活我不能活的事儿，直接全杀了比较直接。
罗生门的叙事结构，情节紧凑紧张，故事说的很完整，演员演技不错，比那几个流量明星好多了。
很讽刺很露骨 故事结构也很有趣 看似断层实际上却衔接紧密
什么🐔儿！尺度这一块确实到位了 剧情是什么牛马 并且画面看着贼廉价 柯南伯格是我喜欢的老艺术家 希望不要晚节不保
剧本的骨架挺不错的，但是还需要精心细致的修改。
整部电影基于“切割人体是一种新型性爱”的概念展开，但这真的有意思吗？现实生活中，有人迷恋穿孔；有人从自虐中获得快感；有人会把自己的脸整成蜥蜴……把这些真实的人类怪癖与性爱扯上关系，难道不比电影中在身上划几道小伤口更有噱头？所以又有什么说服力让人喜欢这个无聊的设定？更别提剧情还是如此冗长乏味。
没那么好但也不算太差。跟导演上一部风格接近，叙事结构也类似，本以为结尾有点黑楼孤魂的味道，但彩蛋又给了一个新的角度。
人要是能吃塑料了还挺好的，对于地球来说。所以这片是个环保主义电影？
导演高深了，本来以为就是借着鬼怪之说反映人心险恶。可结尾的情节给我整不会了。
