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.
说实话，一开始奔着听说到的女主去看的…剧情没太多追求，只看到了每一段人性的挣扎
约翰马尔科维奇和弗兰克·格里罗都是配角，女主莉莉.库拉格性感，表演不错。
虚构战争背景下的战争片+公路片。这种故事最重要的是如何结束，而本片的结束就太过仓促和随意了，不要说提升主题了，连明确主题都没有做到。但如果把本片定位成动作惊悚片的话，那动作和惊悚两个元素都缺失太多。可以和俄罗斯的《科拉深孔》对比着看一下，就知道气质上缺失太多了。Netflix 电影现在开始被大数据给带到沟里去了。
只要把本片带入到欧洲正在进行的一场战争，啥都会明白了。五星支持不屈的抵抗战士！
冰上坟场一段让人眼睛一亮，有着末世世界的感觉，除此之外，都是大路货
浪费这么多大咖当配角
我是来看评论的，大部分都是赞美这个女主的🤭
影片质量还行，看看还是没问题的，但是说不上精彩。一个蛇蝎美女利用美貌杀人越财，和搭档清仓似的搬空被害人的一切财产！女一和女二都蛮漂亮的，有点赏心悦目，最后反杀蛇蝎女。我给3星6.7分！
剧情虽有不足，Krug太美了，5分太低了，我能打7分
看片理由：肤浅的惊悚，看了相当于休息。结论：没后悔，女主很美，情节也确实简单也不算脑残，高科技住宅的设定还带来点小惊喜。
不能算小成本，至少还有揽胜和豪宅。情节比较紧凑，女主演技还不错，相信手机致癌的人，都很蠢。
全剧精华主要在这几句台词
各种元素 一盘散沙 再浅陋的主题也是必不可少的
研发住宅安保系统，却陷于与妻子离婚诉求的富者克里斯，以为自己夜遇斯凯是个偶然，结果是一连串的安排。连撬车敲断克里斯腿也是个设计，这样斯凯可以理所应然的入住山顶豪宅进行照料。同时，斯凯厌烦室友的纠缠，无可利用后，甚至将其割脉而亡。片中第一处智商掉线，是监视山顶的望远镜仍然留在了公寓，房东老头也趁此上山想敲竹杠。第二处智商掉线，是斯凯抢得男主手机的全屋控制权，却没有更改入门密码。后面发展小孩完全可以从砸破的窗户进入，或者身为父亲的男主早为孩子录入了声音人脸等高级权限。而诧异之处，斯凯将枪口对向了教她坑骗伎俩的继父，斯凯意识到自己仍未独立也属心有不忍，但这一幕转变没有设想中的自然。作为爽片还算及格，但逊于“屏住呼吸”的紧张感。对于贫富的描写也触之无力，劫富手段不义，也不是为了实现某种高于个人的理念
没啥值得看的，除了女主的颜值身材，说实话这样的美女来诱惑，估计我也得上钩😂😂😂
当评分 低于6真的是烂片，浪费了一个下午看这个破片！
后面女主那么多大动作最后查起来怎么可能脱的了身
冰雪战境，况味十足。
莉莉.库拉格 来自德意志的美可以原諒她爲非作歹了
尺度真不小，I have to feed the wolf～umm，浮想联翩
