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.
仿佛创造着一种近似于「地下一天，地上一年」的特殊感觉，允许看客在这里忘却时间，缓慢地进入其中；探究黑暗之中的秘密，又或是游走在村落里更近距离接触着自然。它考验耐心并常常不会有更多的讯息，但只要完成，就会发现其中无可言喻的奥妙。
进入探洞后迷糊睡了15-20分钟，在老人倒睡在草丛被人发现时醒来。我以为是拍摄一个探洞的纪录片时，正好跟踪了一个老人的死亡过程。结合最近的经历，想到的是，走进神话后，神话就消失了
脖子的斜线没有了，看起来顺眼多了。BGM不错
【BJIFF】伴着邻座的呼噜声看完，太特么难看了！
好爱西条高人( •̥́ ㉨ •̀ू )嘤嘤嘤~
我恨 我恨只有七十八分钟 我恨 （抓狂）(怒｀Д´怒)(▼皿▼#)(ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻｡ﾟ(ﾟ∩´﹏`∩ﾟ)ﾟ｡｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡
亚洲人当然可以跳，展现自己的风格，心意和爱意。
3.5 得到了一个宏大的图景体验，仅此而已。哦，没有睡。
然而，燃烧总是需要燃料的。画面每每从狭窄昏暗的洞穴转向开阔明丽的山色，转向昏倒衰微的老人。大概他们正是文明的祭品。
空气不是用来感受的是用来呼吸的啊kora！
在一起除了开心外还要寻找更深层次的契合 谈个恋爱都能提升 太好代入我家CP
依然是甜度爆表 但是船戏差点意思 都放去跳舞和表白了
#2021北影节# 前半较好，叙事脱去了情节而仅剩下了连串的指向性动作，当地的人文和不见底的深洞构成了奇妙的总和，洞内的黑暗被运用的美丽异常。但当作者执意总要在洞内探险之间切到外界关心一下老人死没死时，全片就不可避免地进入了单调与滑稽。这同时摧毁了洞内的结构，后半部分零散的洞中景象与结尾的图纸没有出现任何联系。
全片不以人或物为主角，而且广袤的自然，也许是某一种气，因此使用俯拍。而且拍摄难度奇高无比。
无对白，在剪辑中完成符号的意指，生存/生活/生命。
有点乱，但是还是很香，如果能一直拍下去。我能一直看下去。太香了，片尾曲也好听
老哥在山上放羊，你在洞里探险，我在电影院睡觉，我们都有光明的未来。
太美了，太喜欢了。用镜头写成的细腻优美的散文，简直想起立给导演和摄影师鼓掌！1）绳子和生命：老人和驴的绳子，洞内和洞外的绳子 2）人物以各种动线在固定的镜头中移动，光和火如同追光，老人的眼神如同镜头 3）外来者：寂静偏僻的村庄出现了探险队，无人踏足的深洞留下了未烧尽的肯尼迪和一个足球 4）洞穴学家从一颗石头开始探索混沌，又在山雾中回归混沌 5）景深的巧思太打动人，画面太完美 #BJIFF2021#
原来这句话这么美好💕
换汤不换药 没有什么惊喜其实emmmm
