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.
很好，但很难描述。不合时宜的人，这个电影名比较贴切。
全片充斥着碎片化但却温暖的情绪，事业、友情和爱情的不幸在导演的处理下都显得不太冷酷，试镜时的独白，les酒吧里和好友的轻轻一吻，咖啡馆对峙时女孩伴着Ombra Mai Fu落下的泪水，以及山雨欲来前返回家中和父母共享平静的幸福。
观感极好。另一视角下的《柏林与亚历山大广场》。
当代恐怖片，一度反胃，就像一个稀疏平常的例会一样，一切都有条不紊的进行着，这个种族屠杀计划就这样定了下来，每个生命在这些座上宾的嘴里不过是一个数字，升官发财的工具，但放到现在又何尝不是？
挺喜欢几度示爱的女性，但确实有点长啊（也想点三个汤姆希林的吻）
会，继续爱、看着、拥抱，还有周日下午四点斯帕特霍斯咖啡馆的等待
在斯帕特霍兹咖啡馆等你
分了三天看完，这结局我不能接受！不过也许死在一切开始前也是种幸运。她还在咖啡馆等他。
上帝关了一道门，还真的会把窗也关上，虽然这扇窗是自己关上的，虽然自己也不知道这是在关窗。
看着以前的世界，我会觉得它只能走向毁灭，你要是告诉我他会变成今天这样，我是无法相信的。当然，我们可能还是走在毁灭的路上，只是还没有到达
德国人的严谨，一丝不苟和高效，在这场会议中完全用在邪恶目的上了。
最喜欢的还是初遇时走在夜晚的路上。镜头角度变化多端、画外音引导剧情。fabian说我不想要成为你职业的绊脚石。他们在咖啡馆分别的一幕我以为他们会突然笑起来因为只是fabian写的故事的一种延续，他们还能继续生活在柏林。很有诗意的电影。他说你来柏林想成为伤心但成功的女人现在你真的做到了。没有力量留住爱人也没有力量救回朋友在时代的混乱和残酷之中他如此无力。
影片的服装、道具、场景艺术设计风格鲜明，描述出德国魏玛共和国时期的各种风貌。影片还穿插了大量的黑白纪录片影像，来证实这个社会背景的真实性，显示出开始动荡的德国社会。
这次他不是画家，是诗人，终于和美丽的小姨恋爱了
1 有一個大反派 導致了悲劇 如「天鵝湖」
入耳前曲高和寡，入耳后流连忘返。模糊现实，倒转舞台，破碎撕裂的影像素材与蔓延翻滚的人物关系合奏出一场摇滚交响，如激流金属与无规律民谣的碰撞。时代坍缩为可供自由出入的交错隧道，人物不再委身于此，而是时刻寻找着破壁而出的可能，以抵达那些不以时空为转移的终极命题，关于爱情、理想以及死亡。
看完心里一凉，作家不愧是最穷困潦倒也是经历最丰富的职业，生活在这样一座堕落疯狂的城市，在阅历社会和人性的复杂万象，亲眼见证这个糟糕的时代糟糕的城市糟糕的人们夺走了爱情和最好的朋友，经历了层层的失望和绝望后，带着仅存的期望和幻影，最终却溺毙于命运的陷阱
前半个小时太吃力了，人又多，职位有多，名字复杂，语速飞快，表示跟不上，不适合我的电影。
与其说是看电影，不如说像是在欣赏影响化的文学作品，琐碎絮叨又散发着脆弱迷人的气质，台词都非常文学性。印象最深的是男主写给女主试镜用的独白信，以及二人隔着玻璃的那个吻，看到中间就能预感到结局应该是悲剧的，但至少悲剧是发生在纳粹上台之前，仍保有一丝的美好。
世界是混乱的，而生活还算值得。法比安淹没的湖面上有蜉蝣爬过，那是一种生命短暂的昆虫。我想到中国古老诗词里曾说过的，蜉蝣朝生暮死，而尽其乐。
