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.
总体就是猎魔人搞“生化危机”被揭露＋鬼灭之刃“无限列车”的做梦桥段，整体很中庸，好在还有些猎魔人的感觉。
In general,是一个old school的浪漫史诗故事，套入了猎魔人的背景。阴谋与利益瓜葛，少数族裔的清除，还是比较期待大超的剧版。
开始小语种已经不想看了，后期秒变B级血腥片加一星
#7.3# 反套路、喜剧、cult都玩儿的很到位。 片长再缩缩，就完美了。
最后男主差点被按到除草机里了才想到只有老爷子能救场了，老爷子从养老院逃走抢了印度护工的车是电车（娘炮车），然后电车没电也是显示没油的标志，黑年轻的自由派真的是不遗余力啊哈哈哈；不过反手老爷子都被除草机伺候了男女主还只想着跑路我人傻了；总体来说最近看了几部北欧电影（《正义骑士》）发现这些悬疑惊悚片虽然套路比较单一但是没了好莱坞流水线反而挺让人眼前一亮的
二，青草试炼可以生发。
V爷年轻时真是一把好手咳咳....打斗很精彩，凯尔莫罕一战太惨烈了，如果是真人版基本就是R18了，结尾在意料之中，只是没想到小光头竟是白狼本狼~萌呢~
与美剧《猎魔人》一样改编自畅销奇幻小说，《狼之噩梦》聚焦的是维瑟米尔刚踏上猎魔人之路时的故事，这次他要面对的是一种奇怪陌生的怪物。
讲了个跟原著和游戏都没有代入感的故事，角色塑造薄弱，节奏一塌糊涂。(猎魔人的魔法有那么强吗，动不动就搓螺旋丸和火遁？)
动画太酷炫了，有那么几下有点龙破斩的意思（。啊这，期待第二季
搞笑加血腥。末了还讽刺一下好莱坞的政治正确
在你来我往的此消彼长中，处处流露着对老派风格的致敬～～这点非常有意思
没想到是秃头。其实还想见见游戏里拍卖行遇到的大妈的………………当成BGM把英文和日文配音版各看了一遍，日文配音有雨宫天……和英文字幕对比了下，日文字幕基本上是灾难（配音倒是忠实原意），中文字幕蛮好，应该参考了游戏ww
任何婚姻里总有100次想要……算了，实践一次吧
动画效果还是很不错的，就是打斗场面让人感觉像是一部动作片，很奇怪。
网飞出品，必属精品。像这种大尺度动画电影请给我来一打！
老爹的伊格尼能烧化一整片湖，杰洛特你行不行？ps 那个女巫真的是个疯婆娘
想看: 嗨，老爷子，以英雄之姿。
明显比剧版强，但是故事跟原本的设定有很多出入……另外凯尔莫罕被烧这么大一件事情，故事太小了，整个感觉很匆忙
分镜和bgm出色 原创少年浪荡威瑟米尔的故事 除了世界观外唯一没有毁原著的地方是人类猎魔人和精灵互相利用憎恨的关系 其他表现一般 爱情故事俗套 切成日语配音无违和感 光头老杰好雷
