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.
铺垫怎么这么长 连波罗的大胡子也特地前后呼应一把 牺牲了最喜欢的群审戏 赶时间是吧？
看完后我妈让我把78版找出来重温。短评有限我就说演技，演员真拉胯，群戏方面还不如东快，并没有像米歇尔菲佛那样撑场面的演员，尽管这部也有安妮特贝宁这样的实力派但也发挥有限，之前觉得加朵选角正确，但高清镜头下的她满脸岁月痕迹，演技也很菜，气质比老版林内特差了十条街，汉莫像糊了十张葱油饼在脸上一样，看他大哭我差点在电影院笑出声，这两位实在太油腻了（杰奎琳稍微演得好些），也不喜欢那个黑妹，本来就是zzzq塞进来的，还一副我很牛又很美的样子但长得还没她妈好看，演布克那位长得好像费德勒，电影还很喜欢拿特写，但却没几个撑得住特写的演员，看到的都是他们满脸的皱纹而不是精湛的演技
布拉纳大哥 我求你回剧院吧 不要祸害克里斯蒂了 本来东快马马虎虎不算原著的话还是可以的。 你这又是干什么呢 从任何角度来看都无意义 你那开局也太生硬了
主线氛围不错结局看了个寂寞…四个小故事还可，虽然是做旧94年伪纪录片道具和特殊化妆也一起复古了是怎么回事……鼠人克味十足，机械改造人比较完整硬核但跳脱过头了说是豚鼠系列更合适，意外的是午夜梦回时守灵人的故事最惊悚，看的时候觉得挺平庸但那半个脑袋不停在脑海闪现是怎么回事草
Jakie 曾吹嘘她父亲把她培养成潜水冠军，但是游泳技巧在波洛面前仍然是小巫见大巫。没游出五百米就被波洛追上了。
梦回怪形的old school 恐怖血腥片～最喜欢第3个故事～

真的好难看。笑死，看的时候分还是6分，看完过来就是5.9分，感觉还会掉。
比东方快车的翻拍，多那么一点看头。加朵作为人人得而诛之的受害者，没演出坏来。黑人姐姐很会撩，但跟波罗毫无化学反应。劝导演早日悔改，不再自恋，不要再继续翻拍了
关于波洛在一战的前情也让人摸不着头脑
🆘真的好烂，看得巨困。就算有四个我喜欢的女演员也没法给好评，虽然其中三个角色都emmmm）另外我震惊了教母和护士的关系那段挑明居然没有被剪（对比最近引进的老友记部分🤐
罗马Space，比东方快车好看，也是交通不畅状况频发的情人节啊。
这个超级中二的波罗是怎么回事，，里面硬塞的那些政治正确又是怎么回事。。最后一枪两个人一起死甚至有些好笑！！我感觉到了布拉纳快冲出天际，令人恶心的油腻和自恋！！！
6.3/10.0
作为原著爱好者，这必然是个魔改化电影了。主角的三人都不合适气质以外，合并了原著人物不说，还改变了人物背景，开枪等细节不符合常理，导演兼话痨的波罗还疯狂给自己加戏，除了庞大的布景属实缺乏看点。
与78年的经典相比，略低于及格线……其他配角的戏份和背景少，苦命鸳鸯的情感堆积则完全没有，演技就不提了，老版的Jackie才真是神经质，新版的就是奶大。加朵成了个摆设，我都怀疑她自己到底懂不懂想演得同情点还是嚣张点，好像工具人。开头的年轻波洛则完全与剧情无关。我以为会有新意的创造，结果只有女同和黑白恋这种无关痛痒的政冶题？总之是一部莫名其抄的翻抄版
一部纯绿幕电影，这种毫无细节的数字布景真是一点也没真实感。拍得太难看了懒得吐槽了，连吐槽的兴趣都勾不起来，可谓失败
阿加莎的几部经典作品就跟金庸的小说一样，过段时间就翻拍一版。但是显而易见，这部翻拍非常一般。
和第二部的《safe heaven》一样，提莫塔哈亚托一枝独秀，印尼cult之神，这导演必火
有人众筹把这个波洛探长丢进尼罗河里吗？我出十块，不能再多了。
