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.
能用刀絕不用槍，原生態力量型打法很炸裂，馬東錫的短板是不會踢腿，反派演出了人狠話不多，最佳段落反而是他的旅館2對N長鏡頭。
反派的愤怒 真的感受到了 一定是要被气死了快
PS:我哈尔滨张谦蛋还会回来的！
孙锡久，一个笑起来眼睛都没有的男人，怎么这么凶啊野兽一样好鬼性感，马东锡好壮好喜欢，简单的爽片，前半段比后半段有意思，期待最后的打戏很久了，没想到遇到马东锡孙只有挨打的份
第一能打的警察：马东锡，第一能打的黑帮：孙锡久，马东锡K.O孙锡久，哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
【7月【🟢】【➊】】【2022 ▲ 325】【《犯罪都市》·系列 第2部 作品】【≈ 106分钟】【原版 ★ 中文字幕】【⭐】◀▶【⭐⭐⭐】
稳扎稳打的第二部，依旧很爽，如此解压的片子不知道几年能等到一部
神马东锡依然牛逼，不过这次的对手着实有点弱啊。
杀人的时候，血飞溅出来也太不要钱了吧～两部连着看，第二部确实给港产的警匪片差太多了。
打斗戏多了很多，但整体没有第一部那么惊喜，反派人物也缺乏哈尔滨张谦的那种邪魅狂狷的魅力。
三星的故事，但马东锡值得一星。我下辈子要嫁给马东锡啊……
马超人满脸横肉啊 太凶了 打的挺爽 其他就很一般
三星半｜金刚芭比马东锡，孙锡九吃亏在没有培养核心团队，杀人业务全是外包。
马胖子真是该死的魅力啊。《犯罪都市2》2022年目前韩国票房冠军，基本保持了1的风格与水准——简单暴烈又不乏幽默笑点，就是这系列对社会 主义国家不太友好。
精简时长后换来了更加清晰直接的叙事，节奏好于前作。整体套路和前作类似，先突出反派的猖狂，经过艰难的斗智斗勇最后警察收网，有了前作的铺垫，这部导演有意减少了马东锡的揍人戏份，而是让他该出手时再出手，靠叙事把情绪推到顶点（反派杀人如麻，警察队友受伤），再最后让马东锡痛快的揍人赢得胜利，看完就是一种怒火得以发泄的快感。反派这次印象不及第一部哈尔滨黑帮，狠劲欠点意思，第一部没死的黑帮头头张夷帅竟然转行了，算是非常抢戏的角色了。（8/10）
可看性还挺高的，故事完整逻辑性也强。暴力犯罪片被马东锡演成了大爽片，结尾我盼望着马哥拽着歹人脑袋，把公交车玻璃一块一块撞碎，那就太爽！好久都没看过韩国电影了，现在本来电影看得也少了，找到一些当年看韩影的感觉，真好。啊对了，马哥还Q了一下《釜山行》哈哈
三个马锡东，还没一个瘪三小司机有魅力。惩恶扬善的喜剧爽片。
马东锡打戏就是一拳倒一个太爽了，孙锡久的长相太适合演混混恶霸狠人了。看他俩决斗就好像看不同公斤级的拳击手打架，都是高手，但马东锡的拳头更重。
马可爱在电影里永远都像是打不死的超级英雄，整体剧情比较套路化，看点还是动作戏
反派的愤怒 真的感受到了 一定是要被气死了快
