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.
看了一下评分和评论，最终决定不去电影院看了。岁月不饶人呀，演员都老了，一脸疲惫。
可能是期待放低所以看完反而觉得还好，尤其是要给华纳鼓掌，真是一家开明公司，允许导演在自己出钱拍摄的片子里疯狂吐槽自己~续集的意义可能更多在女性意识觉醒上，Trinity醒来后状态恢复可比Neo强太多了，主旨嘛确实就还是第一部的东西，到底做哪个选择，每个人心里其实一直有答案，所以为什么重拍呢，导演在片子里已经吐槽过了。之前看过三部曲的观感会更好。能看到年轻的Keanu真好，而看到现在的Keanu和二十多年前的自己同框，更好~就是升级版子弹时间的发波真的太雷了啦！两星半，吐槽好笑再加半星~
五星怒赞！
1、打哪吒、打钟楼怪人、打路人脸硬汉、打僵尸、打浴袍大叔？？？ 2、崔妮蒂一明白自己在母体里就立马拳打老公抛弃孩子，二元论虚无论到这种地步，难道不是彻底否定了前三部所有“虽然命运被注定被操控但我还是要选择相信”的对人类意志的歌颂吗？？锡安它也是另一个小程序呀，那你还斗争个啥当个女救世主做啥？？？
自己复制自己，自己解构自己，那是资本家好糊弄，还是观众好糊弄，还是导演自己好糊弄？这片子的唯一好处就是，回忆一下好久之前早就忘光了情节的黑客帝国三部曲
最大的感叹是无论人多么有钱有权，终极浪漫的爱情体验都是奢侈品，需要天时地利人和
女性觉醒，摆脱家庭，奔向自由，从之前的辅助变成C位，结尾调性跟三部曲太不契合了，把晦涩难懂的那些都删掉了，动机变得通俗简单，整体爆米花大片化。尼奥的造型跟赛博朋克2077的银手一样，加颗星
🎥故事题材：
机器与人的颠倒，科技与人的颠倒，人工智能与人的颠倒，生活与自由意志的颠倒，指向人的彻底解放，还指出了阶段化成果：竟然有认同人类价值的人工智能，不错的成绩，还搞出来了和平、人道路线，怎么看都是隐喻。
动作戏竟然只剩徒手挡子弹，它与飞行成为概括the one的标志，完全儿戏化。先知和夜景的消失则剥夺了前作最迷人的暧昧感。至于结尾崔尼蒂扮演了女the one，则昭示本作在新时代下已完全成为跟随者泯然众人。
我悟了，这不是黑客帝国 ，这是Neo被困在了一个John Wick叫矩阵里。
《超感猎杀》2.0+《疾速追杀》+一点《银翼杀手2049》。爱她，就带她逃离矩阵。熟悉的手挡子弹、子弹时间、中国功夫、摩托飞车等一一再现，可惜不见经典的黑色皮风衣。毫无新意，复制前作，暗含吐槽，发挥有限，感谢Lana打造成2D！就差没把裴斗娜请过来了（权当女主好比裴斗娜，而Priyanka也是印度女），数数里面有多少位《超感猎杀》的演员？第一次在大银幕目睹炫酷绿色矩阵雨，终于等到第一次在大银幕见到小马哥Max Riemelt兼小马哥首登内地院线大银幕！全片最成功之处当属选角和妆发：蓝发妹子Jessica Henwick十分亮眼，看好成为下一代亚裔女演员担当；墨西哥谢娜造型拉风，Yahya的Morpheus够帅够霸气。才发现Trinity是如此英姿帅气！！
而很多人很难相信这种信念，换句话说，他们也不想体验这奢侈的浪漫
拉娜·沃卓斯基放飞自我一般的对前作进行了自嘲，似乎想借此从前作的血统中割离开来，但是这种想法并被坚决地执行下去，一方面不断地利用既有的素材引导观众共鸣，另一方面又想要推翻“黑客帝国”三部曲祭奠的风格，结果就导致整部电影在严肃与娱乐之间左右摇摆，飘忽不定。这样的续作，立项之初就应被扼杀在摇篮里。
看了一下评分和评论，最终决定不去电影院看了。岁月不饶人呀，演员都老了，一脸疲惫。
太難看了，堅持了一個小時實在扛不住出來了，整部影片無時無刻都在提醒觀衆：朋友，我們之前的三部曲很優秀。
实在是不想看到这样的局面，导演摆烂之作，一部强行拼凑出来的续集。导演在片中暗示了很多当下的电影市场和观众的现状，红色和蓝色的选择一直是我们所有人要面临的问题
仿佛一场冗长的论文答辩——在问题不变的前提下，比起上一稿，这一版我们做了如下改动。
🎯主题主旨：
解构的段落太长了，十分消耗耐心。为什么大导演们都喜欢跟观众剖析自己啊，咱可以把这个留纪录片里么（此处@庵野老贼）？不过对老粉来说还是值得一看，BE多年的赛博世界意难平妈的居然HE了，这他妈真的值得平安夜开冰酒庆祝。Trinity永远我女神，私心以为这是基努最适合的银幕情侣，脆弱男子就需要坚韧且散发着母性光辉的另一半拯救啊
