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.
我一直觉得苏俄的战争片拍得好是因为场面够宏大
俄罗斯战狼式主旋律影片，俄军在叙利亚援救坠机飞行员，场面还算撑得住。
没看懂片头被围捕的飞行员跟后面的什么关系。。。
导演对速度和力量的视觉解析延续了上一部的劲道, 动作场面调度也更为过瘾, 但剧情结构明显有些失控, 十分值得再次期待续集...
6.5分，支线过多影响了主线的拓展，第二集了世界观还没完整架构后面hold不住的概率很大。
抓捕行动都要结束了，火力支援才开始挂弹，然而最后也没用上。
勉强三星吧，还是看在拍摄地的面子上。其实开始的公路就眼熟，直到女主穿的衣服写着“위미리”三个字，才去查资料确定我的直觉。最后的决斗现场选在一处马场，有《乐园之夜》的感觉，一看导演，果真是一个人。再来看这部电影，节奏拖沓，演员演技尴尬，超能力超的尬死个人。最不能忍受的是演员们的英文、中文台词，非要语言多元才能显得高级吗？或许该去看看1，扭转一下最初的印象了。金多美还是很美的，短短的出场，已经盖过2的大多数人了。
可以看个开头15分钟，然后直接跳到最后五十分钟，你会发现这还是一部不错的战争片，而且还挺感人。
只小男孩得知父亲牺牲，姐姐哭泣，勇敢的告诉姐姐出去安慰母亲一幕感人，几处打击恐怖分子精彩，故事讲得差！
最后说着英语的美雇佣兵被俄特种兵击毙的时候，我就决定给4星。
感觉还是前面特种兵那一小段战斗戏出彩，其他的一般般，有点拖沓～～～
取材真实，俄式爱国主义，看完确实感受到近年来俄罗斯对于军人的崇敬
真不愧为中东哈士奇，还老毛子也敢惹，怎么想的
节奏拖沓一塌糊涂，光泼血浆还是太堕落了。
打斗集中在暗场进行省预算拉低了特效质感。
俄罗斯的主旋律电影，相比于主角光环异常强大的“战狼”电影，这部根据真实事件改编的电影(2015年土耳其空军背后捅刀，偷袭击落一架俄罗斯战斗轰炸机)，可以称得上真正的“战熊”电影，一些细节上也更真实，更考究，后半段有点儿拉胯。公车上，苏联卫国战士老兵被地痞流氓羞辱的镜头令人唏嘘，男主服务祖国，捍卫尊严的信仰和忠诚也令人潸然。(男主同时期的军校生在苏联解体后离开军校，移民海外，收割国内，赚得盆满钵满)
比第一部还尬。韩国有满身是血的《魔女》，美国有甩着皮鞭的《神奇女侠》，我国有薄纱抹胸的《司藤》《花千骨》《三生三世十里桃花》，只能说各国有各国专属的恶趣味。
禁止在韩剧家长里短插科打诨里插入超级赛亚人段落！！！想看超炫酷打斗只需看最后40分钟即可！导演我劝你最好搞清楚观众想看这个系列到底是想看什么！！！剧情一泡烂的话起码就多给点无脑打戏，没人要看不好笑的烂笑话还有什么逛超市这种家常，我又不是在看搞笑一家人！
大鹅主旋律电影，要素齐全，情感烘托也到位，前半部分拖沓了些
