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.
最后的红色高跟鞋call back我差点哭了。之前看又吉直树的「火花」那本书，说是这个行业永远都是师傅请客。所以电影里也几次有这个桥段，他师傅看到两人练习晚回家，于是穿好自己的衣服，假装偶遇，请他们吃饭。还有最后，虽然是收下了小武的那笔奖金，送他去坐出租车的时候还是给他钱付车费，然后说如果有零钱，拿回来还我，是说再回来看看我的意思。
没想到我看一个动作片能哭两回。还有就是，珍！惜！和！平！
-.-为啥一个子弹射击出膛的镜头要用那么多次呢。。好廉价啊
剧本中规中矩，演技着实动人。自身向往之人也在期待着你的光芒，这是怎样一种幸运。
说是自传，其实是个群像剧。
狙击手对战戏份挺精彩的，但个人觉得个别重要的具体故事情节刻画地有点过，比如步枪攻击坦克，朝鲜小孩数次在狙击战场上无所畏惧地跑来跑去，美方狙击手后来的畏缩言行，另外志愿军几乎每击中一次就会有子弹特效出现，以及唱歌时表达的本意应是意欲唤醒的焦急心态多于无畏牺牲的悲壮，表述过头而让人觉得不真实，有那么点主旋律影片的意思。
抗美援朝大背景下冷枪冷炮中的一次小战役，一个个勇敢付出牺牲的小战士，最后铸就了抗美援朝战争的最终胜利。不同于以往的大场面和熟悉面孔，电影采用真雪景和全新人担任主演，让人从不一样的角度更好地带入志愿军战士。
真TM的想不到在一票的新春节档之中，张艺谋这部狙击手是我的最爱。无论从人物的塑造还是讲故事的能力，可以看出张艺谋的功底还是十分深厚的。以狙击手之间的对决，以小见大，讲述了战争的残酷与激烈，同时没有刻意矮化美军。胜利来之不易的另一个原因就是我们击败了比我们强大的敌人，这才能容易的打动到观众，才让我们今天的后人知道这样的牺牲有那么的不容易。与张艺谋上一部，雪在这里也起到了对影片节奏的控制作用，同时跳出了固有的主旋律风格，这应该可以看得上是一部佳作。最可爱的人，这个既熟悉又陌生的词，经过了70载的岁月沉淀，其内里所含的精神，依然能够感动着今天的我们。看过昨天北京冬奥会的烟花璀璨，但也不能忘记曾经的烽烟滚滚先辈们的牺牲。最令人称赞的是克制，没有过分的煽情，没有华而不实的高大上，只有真实与真正的致敬。
我和老公看的都掉眼泪，感谢前人的前仆后继，换来当今的和平年代。敬礼！
硬汉内心柔软的过往。结尾太感人了。唯一的缺点是柳乐优弥太帅了。
老谋子电影独有韵味 谁也替代不了
前半段相当真实 本该在班长牺牲时剧终
看的时候刚好俄乌开战了，更加深有体会和平来之不易，都是先烈们用生命换来的，也印证了那句弱国无外交，结尾的“孩子的牵挂，永远是家乡”直戳人心
这个电影虽然是从微观的角度看战争，但是也拍出了战争的残酷。片中许多血肉模糊的情节。侦察兵痛苦地从伤口中拿出情报，这一幕让人看了撕心裂肺的痛。这就是电影的力量，感谢这部电影，让我们更加珍惜现在的美好生活
前中段到章宇牺牲前可以给到5星的，中后段大永为主和美军对峙部分感觉有点拉可以给3星，到与John对手戏以及结尾可以给4星，总的来说是一部4星电影。最后1颗星给中国军人。
北野电影里常现踢踏舞原来是纪念恩师。
虽然场景简单，但抵不住它好看，很精彩，革命先烈用生命换来了现在的和平，最后喊到的时候有点小感动
张艺谋的作品才是有质量保证的，场面不大，剧情也不复杂，但观众能在90分钟内感受到当年志愿军战士们舍生忘死的精神，也看到了我们自己的王牌。
