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.
如果美国人认为亮亮只是个担架兵，凭什么认为这一诱饵能诱到对面死伤惨重还不放弃？
比长津湖好 台词至少在线 不过后面非要整个结局 有点假了
能让人看得比较投入的主旋律。剧本三波段操作，英雄陨灭英雄诞生，最后一节神出鬼没，一枪死得太容易。旁白带出的小朋友令这个小切片叙事跌宕有挥之不去的游戏感设定感。章宇陈永胜眉宇间有传承感，章宇演技get了一点。
2.比《生死之墙》更为冷峻，这是属于我们自己的传奇，致敬抗美援朝英雄张桃芳。
一定要看！
剧本还有硬伤。
一个18岁的孩子是怎么在战友都牺牲的情况下 忍住巨大的悲痛和恐惧 冷静的完成任务的 只能说不可思议
你可以永远相信国师，章宇也很迷人。以小见大的男性群戏，质感棒，节奏快。希望能成为一匹黑马突破重围吧！！！
可以给四星半，一开始没抱着太多的期待，所以反而惊喜更多。展现小人物在历史战争当中的剪影，让我们看到兵魂永远不死，炮声不密集，泪点太密集，哭到不行，虽然是个群戏，但是人物有血有肉，还挺有趣的，唯一有点跳戏的，是话外音。以及影片快结束的时候，朝鲜小朋友第2次出现，被抓进坦克那段略微有点主角金手指，前半段的情节很紧凑，很惊心动魄！节奏和表演都十分到位，章宇依旧很牛啊！迎着阳光流泪那段真的是看哭我！！主角小陈其实到最后开挂，能看见仿佛班长附体，但最后见到大部队又哭成孩子，最后集体点名那段哭的不行不行的，然后就亮灯了，好尴尬。五班不死，军魂仍在！太棒了！
春节档看的第一部电影，中规中矩，章宇的演技确实可以。
人间岁月山水长
抗战时期的中国人是从不畏惧牺牲的，
以正出，以奇胜，国师的长处。拍得简单，纯粹，仿佛闲庭信步。看国师这两年的作品，这种挥洒自如越发明显。但也能感受到主题表现上的克制，甚至犹豫，这就是时代需要思考的问题，对比冬奥开幕感觉更明显，全社会在呼唤新时代的核心美学。
口水太多了，明显是武戏不够，文戏注水来凑。
不错，狙击手里的美国人比长津湖里的人设要立体，表演也更自然得多。
建议所有执着于拍3个小时的导演们都学学怎么在96分钟里讲完这么完整的故事，影片本身水准还是很高的，国师拍出了属于他的冷枪热血。
优点是，没有过分渲染且宏大的战争场面，而像这样的小战役也没有拍的很无聊。整体可看，不过说实话，这部看完，没有落泪
老谋子还是很会拍这种题材的，就喜欢这样精炼——此时拉踩一下长津湖的裹脚布情节。
该有的都有了，老谋子的答卷交得不错，也给女儿练到了，当然，本片也有不少可以拍的更好的地方，片子完全可以以更巧妙的方式完成叙事，不过作为这个档期“半道杀出”的片子，确实是不小的惊喜。
完美表现狙击手的快准狠，用一个无名的小战场的几名狙击手对弈便可感受到人民志愿军的坚毅和智慧，以小见大
