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.
Disappointed……拍的很空洞，乏善可陈。刻意避开叙事和煽情的结果就是空有画面和配乐，丧失了情感和温度。甚至连柬埔寨和金边的风味也无。还不如像开头那样拍三个男孩子的少年生活……PS.唯一的收获是看到野生科长，略显老态、有点心疼U ´꓃ ` U
图图的耳朵会动哦～抢先一步看了胡图图大宝贝，超过一半的观众是小朋友，真的有种捅了孩子窝的担心，不过居然没有遇到熊孩子，小盆友的观影素质很高，电影看的手舞足蹈。胡图图虽然年龄没有长大，但却更加可爱懂事了，霸王龙小分队关爱老人令人泪目，大家一起去陪牛爷爷吃饭，3岁的图图跟小伙伴们一起为养老院表演节目，瞬间感觉善良友爱真好。片尾的串烧歌曲也给了不再是小朋友的观众带来了一波回忆与惊喜。
真的很糊弄 大部分都是动画片里出现的剧情 如果没有好的剧本出来的话 其实不必如此勉强地完成这个任务的 两颗星星都是打给图图的 希望他永远是我小时候记忆里的那个图图！
原本看预告以为霸王龙在行动会是魔幻特效风的剧情，还好是温暖向的故事，一次是牛爷爷一边搭房屋积木一边回忆牛奶奶，还有一次是关爱老人活动，我被标语“关爱今天的老人就是关爱明天的自己”整破防了。好有意义的主题。
我感觉我坐在电影院里浪费了将近两个小时的时间。
你们欠大耳朵图图一张电影票。
童年回忆 最后的葫芦娃邋遢大王黑猫警长主题句真是追忆童年哈哈！
片头跳舞那段蛮迷幻的，像磕了药
完全没诚意。首先从之前宣传片段我就知道了配音演员换了几个，所以完全没代入感。其次胡图图都演了那么多了你出的最新的大电影居然图图还不认识牛爷爷。这是我最意想不到的...毫无逻辑
说实话只是为了童年去的，但是后半段确实让我觉得有点无趣，前部分还好，感觉动画片里有同样的剧情，一般般吧总体
#venezia78 地平线，贾樟柯监制。国际制作阵容，视听都在线，男主和父亲演得也不错，就是这个节奏啊，前面挺好的，为什么后面变得那么墨迹，是我的欣赏水平有问题吗？拆迁+贫穷，顶多再加一个追求更好生活的愿望，挺简单的主题，怎么搞得跟挤牙膏似的？这真是一部让很多人对文艺片望而却步的电影啊。本片最大优点，没有超过90分钟。
因为胡图图我找回了小时候那种盯着电视不舍得上厕所的记忆。很开心很开心呢
这是什么鬼东西，看过的动画片重新剪剪都能上院线圈钱了。妈的，真堕落，垃圾。
抬头是白楼虫蛀的天花板，低头是父亲溃烂的黑脚趾。母亲抱怨噩梦不能说出来，想办法驱散咒语。眼前离开故居何尝不是噩梦搬演，这里居住着公务员和艺术家，却要这般没有尊严地离开。墙上贴着搬家公司的广告，嘲讽着男孩的街舞梦。补偿款修不好白楼的裂缝，蜂蜜治不好脚趾的溃烂，贫穷让人无法保有健全。
电影很好看 推荐小朋友观看
真的狠狠地无语了，我真的很爱大耳朵图图了，所以拉着我们班团支书一块去看了，结果就这？给牛爷爷送温暖那段我记得没错的话应该在之前的动画片里面有一模一样的情节吧，这算什么？割韭菜都不带这么割的吧
而且图图生活的这个世界好桃花源啊，虽然不是完美的，但是人和人之间的感情好美好😢
养老院的老头真的蛮有意思哈哈哈
陪我弟弟去看，都是以前的剧情，浪费钱了属于是
国庆长假，带着我家两个神兽一起去看《大耳朵图图之霸王龙在行动》的电影，心情特别好，小朋友对动画片无法抗拒，这是一部很好看的动画电影，内容非常精彩，剧情非常温馨，讲述了“霸王龙小分队”由调皮到懂事的转变。随着与牛爷爷的深入接触，霸王龙小分队了解到最棒的“恶作剧”是让别人开心，甚至感到幸福。为此，霸王龙小分队和牛爷爷来到老年之家举办了一场精彩的演出，为大家带来欢乐并开启了一场轰轰烈烈的“霸王龙行动”。观影后，电影情节很有教育意义，很适合孩子观看，对于大人来说也教会了我们如何更好地和孩子沟通，适合全家一起观影，影片不仅故事有趣，还能教会孩子很多道理。
