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.
但是后面的几个人疯狂的在打哈欠……
希望加菲入围各大男主奖项吧 拿不拿也不在乎了~ 他唱歌还是不错的 虽然觉得他最近几个角色都有点歇斯底里的…………
电影还行吧。但乔纳森的经历更让我触动，他在《吉屋出租》开演之前就去世了，这让他成为一位最纯粹的艺术家和理想主义者。
诺大可发挥空间最后却靠LGBT故事来燃情。
今日はふたたび 來ぬものを。」
#PPC#我怎么回事！我不是已经铁石心肠看音乐剧再也不会哭了吗！严格意义上这当然不算一部好电影，舞台感很重，主人公的追求梦想路上的经历也不新鲜，哪个创作者不这样痛苦疯魔。但是Jon的结局太像命运玩笑了。早年知晓的惋惜和今夜看到加菲如此鲜活生动的复现时的心疼，暴击的我毫无抵抗。生命的确是有倒数器，30岁也终将会来，才华横溢满载掌声也没办法当下如愿实现梦想。Just start next one，sharpen your pen，writing and rewriting and rewriting…全世界都在等Netfilx的这个空隙，愿意跑去影院花钱的这寥寥几个人都是一样的吧。想起当年的一些傻事，大家都要努力，大家都要尽量活着，会有那么一天的。
在30岁生日前夕看这片再适合不过了！临近三十岁仍旧碌碌无为的我，是否也该努力创作，实现梦想呢？用歌唱出生活，满注活力，情真动听。看来我还是不适合看这种纯歌舞片，剧情平淡到爆炸，丝毫看不到人物的闪光点和动人之处，若非加菲灵气可爱的演绎，这片的看点会大打折扣。Alexandra Shipp美到360°无死角！！！快看完才知道原来Jonathan Larson便是大名鼎鼎的《吉屋出租》创作者，看完才知道导演原来是林漫威！全程没认出Vanessa Hudgens。
四星吧，但是也愿意多加一颗星给加菲。（加菲算得上是欧美除了甜茶之外我第二喜欢的男演员了……（加菲给我冲奥斯卡男主！！！
削弱了我对歌舞片的好感，以自我（梦想）为中心的人，他的身上并没有光。相反，该片不断用29岁奔三的年龄焦虑来表达逐梦的急迫，急到好像有躁狂症一样，没有与梦想和衰老和解的追梦人，狭隘到令人疲倦。所以我无法被他激励，他也不是好的榜样。
感觉演员们都老了，旧的人离去，新生命降临，有声电影必然淘汰掉默片，新时代的来临，每个人都找到了幸福的归属
他们都有光明是未来，连最尴尬的莫斯利都是天才大编剧
其实的时候 觉得是值得五星的，但是在我看完热门的短评之后又觉得好像五星高了点，就是有些矛盾了吧，被影响了，但是其实也正常，有些短评也确实讲出了这电影的不足之处。我也表示认可，自然就变了评价。
加菲完全融入了角色，这一次他很用力，褒义的。
给LMM跪了，歌写得好，拍电影居然也这么棒，完美的电影化，超过In the Heights一个La La Land吧
最喜欢亚历山德拉·希普的嗓音。
今年看的最好的电影了。剧情很流畅起伏很自然，矛盾冲突铺垫的很好，背景故事讲得很清楚。看之前我对讲的谁一无所知（惭愧），对整个故事也没了解（算是音乐剧爱好者，所以rent我很熟甚至唱过部分选段）这个是大前提。看完电影这个故事他讲明白了，我看懂了，我才发现是个传记电影，我觉得这个改编就至少合格了（此处拉踩东方快车）。音乐歌舞加入的不突兀，很和谐，男主和朋友们唱起来跳起来就真的很快乐呜呜呜，中间有一段就真的很惊喜🥲按照林聚聚的要求不剧透，大家Netflix看。真的很感动，后面有几个节点，拍的很美，氛围烘托的特别好，特别好哭。。。感谢AFI FEST提供的世界首映开放售票，能和创作团队一起看这部电影听他们聊天。最后例行颜狗时间，加菲好帅哦呜呜呜呜呜
关于音乐剧的音乐剧，优秀的地方大多数来自传记原本的天妒英才，整个故事因为音乐剧的感觉非常零碎，角色基本靠加菲尔德单人凯瑞（毕竟是传记），3星多一丢丢到不了4，更喜欢LA La Land
又丧又燃
最好的Downtown Abbey，我最好的Downtown Abbey。
单拎出来还行，但是绝不能和爱乐之城比啊，这部只有typical可以概括，朋友人设、三段式剧本、舞台剧式编排等等都很typical，除了剪辑稍有想法以外，其他全都规规矩矩，这和爱乐之城甚至纯传记片登月第一人相比都套路化到家了
