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.
感觉导演完全不知道观众想看的是什么，处处都充满了导演个人的恶趣味，剧情跟拉稀了一样稀碎，3分全是给特效的。 3/10
就这真的用得着请安吉丽娜朱莉吗？还是说她只是来领养其他所有人的？
怎么会有一个 每个timing都off的电影
从名同的瑟曦，大反派的斯塔克独狼，还有隐藏彩蛋的SNOW,那些熟悉的美剧演员出现在漫威宇宙，让人看得恍如已经开始冰火之歌的20年重聚。

看完了想给《爵迹》系列多加点分，整个审美、造型跟爵迹简直异曲同工，女演员都变得非常木讷，尤其是女主，看不出来狼家二少为啥都钟情她，让人怀疑这两位都是资深yellow fever，还有多种肤色多种信仰、LGBT，甚至包含聋哑人的选角和角色背景真的政治正确到可怕，我还是去等待爵迹3吧……
谁不想要Kit & Richard🙈🙊
真的很好看，赵婷真的很擅长拿捏细微的、作为人类的情绪和瞬间。西装革履的印度大叔念一段经给亡者超度，大力士轻巧拿起炉子里巨大的铸铁锅，女神面对镜头也紧张到满嘴车轱辘话；这些细节放到一个大闹天宫的故事里，至少我看的相当满意。
哪有永恒的神族，只是一群被时间抛弃的神造人。
6.0/10
看到囧和麦登登俩人face to face的时候就好串戏。
过份冗长看得我昏昏沉沉。到底是赵导，看到最后的五指山我直呼好家伙。以及，安吉丽娜朱莉+马东锡是什么奇怪的cp啊。
能在一部电影里把这么多人物讲清楚已经不容易了
【potplayer】长达7000年神话史诗一样的架构，变成了一部地球上的公路群相戏
由于评分太低的同时，又冗长达157分钟，所以昨天才鼓起勇气点开看完，不愧是赵婷导演的，第一次看这种散文式的超英片。其实政治正确这块在我这里不构成太大的影响因素，主要还是动不动就聊半天，剧情推进主要靠对白的形式，再加上灰蒙蒙的色调，实在是与漫威这个IP有些格格不入，毕竟你是想喝可乐，然后他给做成了无糖可乐。虽然也有很多奇观特效，但是坦率讲不是很震撼我，感官刺激不充分，动作打斗设计也平平无奇，这才是我最介意的。在这方面不合格的同时，人物动机、逻辑也似乎不够合理，活了7000年的神觉悟有点低呀，像小孩子一样喜怒无常，然后变异族也够惨的，明明也是天神族的工具，错当了大半集的反派后，连反派的身份还被抢走了，死得也比较悲惨，未免太冤枉了。不过还是感叹一下原作者的野心，竟然企图将整个人类甚至宇宙文明史串进故事。
两星
不难看，绝对是及格线上的爆米花电影，虽然很失望，但也没有太低出预期，反情节化的赵婷把这拍的跟漫威版正义联盟+黑袍纠察队一样，像极了公路片小组吵架，十个超英也确实不好把控，但整体下来也没有多差吧？人设多多少少立起来了，特效情节也都合理，但看了评论戾气也太重了，就当科幻轻松一看，怎么会那么多戏啊！
Eternals，a new injustice league movie lol 不过我真的很喜欢这部，喜欢到嫉妒里面代表lgbt的不是女通讯录，气死！
zz正确的打击是否纯属多想。科技永远是藏在历史逻辑背后的真实动因，神话是人类尚无法理解的可掌握的技术。爱和珍视是连神族都会艳羡的感受，有的神族也是卑微的打工人。科幻电影这样令人印象深刻以及大手笔地刻画外星人在地球文明留下痕迹，之前还是买拷贝的《变形金刚》系列
结局感觉很离谱 天神族是能直接传送到地球之上带走女主 那全片搞这么久就因为天神族开头不想来亲自做事？带走女主这事也够小了 就不能亲自来地球接生新天神 也是非要首尾矛盾了(一星电影宇宙情怀一星给还行的美术 这剧情就得扣三星)
