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.
拍的稳倒是挺稳 可就是没啥意思 唯一的趣味点是lady嘎嘎的造型 每一套 每一身衣服 都像是什么温州女老板 让人出戏哈哈哈哈
这段感情发生在2001-2003年期间。为什么给5星？因为这片真的是很真实，因为我经历过这些。那个年代说远不远，说近不近，但又有谁能在那个时候挺身出柜？说到李芯悦为什么会在结婚的时候邀请李咏蓝当伴娘，大概还是一歌词“能成为密友 大概总带着爱”。李芯悦曾经勇敢过，是李咏蓝错过了，错过就是错过了，因为还带着爱，想让你看着我结婚，也就好像婚礼是我和你的婚礼一样（李芯悦在说我愿意之前，有含泪笑着看向李咏蓝）。ps：自我感觉英文翻译和粤语差别真的比较大，也有可能看不懂英语，听得懂粤语吧。以上观点仅为个人观点，自己都有自己的看法，总归，值得看。（抠细节，有谁看到了最后婚礼上，芯悦把戒指给咏蓝戴上了）
超出预期。雨中操场拥吻甚至看到心口有个勇字，青春片的一点做作和粗糙都可以原谅。幽默感也意外还不错。最终落点似乎试图反驳前面两个父亲的看轻，但这个BE结局又使反驳隐晦了些。复读一万遍：HE并不比BE低级🤗
电影有些矫情，有些破碎，技法也很生硬，大多情感递进都是通过水…校园之后的剧情就不太行了
老鳖演温州女商真是活灵活现，莱托的角色真是想象不到，把原本的自己完全隐藏掉了，其他演员也都很出色，雷公一把年纪还能这样出片真的厉害，但看下来就结尾字幕一出一个没有古驰家族的古驰有点感觉，其他的看不出太多的作者思维，甚至流水化了
还是家族里的人太坏太混蛋，腐败的像沼泽或泥潭，完蛋是迟早的。
雷老爷子片子中最无趣的一部。哪怕是作为奶粉钱，这个除了时装、配饰、艺术品外没什么亮点的片子被流水账式的剧本拖入了泥潭之中。
“两个人就算有共同的过去，心里也可能有着不一样的回忆”
真的有点难看…有很多喜欢的演员，但仍然觉得无法忍受
为ga姨加的一星，她怎么演这种角色活灵活现！
故事是蛮狗血的通俗剧，有好几场戏单看不错，但是整体连在一起却显得平庸和流水账。Gaga演的OK，但是这个人物就像一直要溢出来的胸部一样，油腻到不行。电影也有这个问题。对了，看完才知道里面有莱托少爷，真是不敢相信。包括阿尔帕西诺和开罗人，这剧演员都在水准之上和
又臭又长，是怎么把古驰家族这么狗血的故事拍的如此无聊的啊，看完一个角色都想不起来
论时尚不如黑白魔女库伊拉，论爱情还比不上我要我们在一起可信。
Lady Gaga演得太尴尬了，如果不是亚当司机，断然是看不下去的。片子到最后半小时终于好看起来，片尾曲选的棒，出字幕发现导演是雷德利斯科特，于是不奇怪为什么能把恶毒女人拍的有情有感了。
地铁老人手机，看得我直皱眉头，连夜添了三道川字纹。如果电影论难看程度可判刑，导演好赖也要蹲个无期徒刑。但是雷导的话，他的功德可以赦免三次
电影太冗长。情节及格，远不够精妙。男主这样单纯的顶级富三代只活在话本里吧。小三：高挑健美，亲梅竹马，自信从容。女主：矮小壮硕，暴发户，隐约自卑。这两公婆：低能高配，必遭反噬；如若癫狂，万劫不复。
纯情叛逆傻少（？）男被心机拜金女主借机上位，整个时尚大家族被耍得团团转？？？虽然影片改编自真实故事，但是整个细节完全不能让人信服
三星给嘎嘎，一星给杰瑞米.艾恩斯；如果有可能，希望把奥奖影后小金人直接快递到嘎嘎手里——一个被唱歌耽误了的天赋型演员；对古琦这片子背后的家族狗血故事先前没有了解过，目前来看，这牌子也没有操持得很好，依然是滥大街的“暴发户”首选。
喜欢她们不顾一切冲到操场上拥吻，青春的勇敢会无视肆意的雨水。可勇敢会被世俗、规则打破。
某些地方还是有点趣味的，趣味大都在嘎嘎身上。莱托少爷完全看不出来，只能说一句牛逼。
