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.
反派找的那演员倒是都大长脸模样，电影里警察太弱了，全是炮灰，给男主设计的有点过于强大，反而不好看，这算是我看过的黄政民片子里最不好看的一个了，要不是因为他是主演我都不想看这翻拍版，既不喜欢王千源刘德华的原版，也不喜欢这个韩国版 PS女绑匪 嗯嗯 真好看
翻拍翻车现场惨不忍睹，除了黄政民的演技，其他一无是处，绑匪头子和王千源差得不是一星半点，剧情生搬硬套一眼假……
没有黄政民这部最多值一星 这和原版一比 拍的是个啥阿 无力吐槽
真难看，黄正民抢到枪扔了再逃跑！是几个意思！！！
挺流水的一部电影，如果没有黄政民大概率不会想看。
从开头就知道质量了，翻拍不成功，还得需要像王千源一样的大恶人形象，完整的故事线
不及原版，别翻拍来翻拍去了，黄政民演技还是牛掰，坏人角色演得感觉还不够给王千源提鞋的😅
绑匪没有与时俱进，现在这路数就该各种视频录起来，然后发到某网站上...
可惜他们应该展开后面的故事也许会好一些，但是没有也许
结尾黄政民这一笑，真是把我一肚子想吐槽电影的屁话全憋回去了，试想没有前面一箩筐的鱼唇解构，怎么会有后面这升华的建构呢，真是喜剧之喜全在这刘别谦一瞬了，年度第一喜剧。
3星半，就算绑匪和警察都有工具化和模板化之感，但是仍模板得很成功，毕竟黄叔在我心中魅力还是挺大的，撑得起一部电影
黄政民：阿西吧，我都演人质了最后一切还是要靠我自己
重温完肉山黄政民和千代的经典对决，突然想看正版的片。几个绑匪的选角差点意思，电视剧型表演。李瑜美真好看
从中国的现实性群像戏，变成了个人英雄秀了，情况又不像是危情十日那样，让人觉得不寒而栗，能够拔升这部电影的方法，我有个主意让李政宰被绑架，黄政民演劫匪（他和王千源的表演风格很像），金允石或者崔岷植来演警察，效果绝对好很多
虽然有硬伤
惊悚片为什么有枪了不击毙敌人，拿着枪逃走，神逻辑
一般，专程来看黄政民嘞，没想到剧情很一般感觉没咱们好看。
从科学的角度 所谓类型片即是大众消费心理 由此可见 豆瓣用户留于大众之外 但反观国片 它又留于大众以内 哎 真真是 韩国人干出什么都不意外 中国人干出什么都不意外
三星给黄政民，让我不适的是导演一直玩新世界梗，居心叵测。还有就是绑匪真的像你妈的弱智一样，光他妈坏又没脑子，还是那种自以为有脑子的没脑子，绑匪头子演的真尼玛出戏，随时在那装逼。韩片警察一如既往正常发力。
韩国是不是有法律规定不许警察开枪射击正在持枪行凶的杀人犯？
