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.
年轻钢琴家艾玛(莫利·库斯饰)在祖父过世后回到祖父的小屋，意外和幼狮、小灰狼成为好朋友。想不到这件事...
男1：那天你问我对我来说你是谁，你从来都是莎拉，但事实是我不知道莎拉是谁。男2：我就在你的面前，我可以是莎拉，我可以是罗布森，可以是你想的任何人。我是下面那个湖，将要爆发将要泛滥的河流。你呢，丹尼尔你又是谁。男1：在我来之前我以为我知道。——这一段很像东宫西宫：小史：你到底是男的，还是女的？阿兰：这不重要，当你想要爱的时候，你就是男的。当你想要承受爱的时候，你就是女的。我可以是你喜欢的任何人，你可以践踏我的一切，只要你允许我爱你......
剧情扯得连说魔幻都过了……
很梦幻的一次经历像是 和自己的经历总觉得很相似 以至于看这部电影的时候 有很深的代入感 那些过往的画面也像电影一样 在脑海闪过 只觉得像是一场梦一样
剧情很水，但两小只超级无敌可爱，加上人美心善的女主，给四颗友情星星。看着相亲相爱的动物，很治愈。一直觉得人类是大自然的破坏者，人类驯化、圈养动物只是为了把动物变成工具或者宠物，而动物根本不需要自私的人类。请离动物远一些，让动物门自由开心地生活。
故事上两人的视角转变，结尾在合二为一，讲的不再是感情，而是文化和社会的现状。
在前面的长铺垫下，丹尼尔转变的契机看起来非常脆弱，以前期的人物塑造走向来看他的自尊心彻底崩溃再次走向暴力更有说服力。
我太服气了，人类史诗
无聊、一团糟的生活铺垫越是真实，后面的自我探寻就越发珍贵。
2022年世界各地的导演和编剧们还在讲身份认同的故事。
后半好于前半，两个人的关系颇具张力，但全片的重量也也只限于情感变化了，许多地方点到为止，深度有限。心之全蚀加分。
一锅爱情乱炖，每一段单拿出来都是那么回事，放在一起谁也不挨谁，要说是真事改编还有可信度，这胡编的就太扯了。在一人一事的故事都没讲好的情况下，偏要玩一人多事，不砸才怪。跟《导演请指教》里面让大家群情激愤的相国强犯同样的毛病，喜欢炫技，还总是大家最不喜欢的那种炫。早被冯小刚弃用的王朔，也被翻腾出来了。3
不断离别的郭小鲁的一生。 编剧想要表达的有太多，恍惚中回到那个可以耐心讲故事的年代，需要去回味一个人短暂又漫长的一生。情爱羁绊，生死别离，阴差阳错，那些美好的、怅然若失的，都是我们虚妄的年华记忆
最是人间留不住，朱颜辞镜花辞树。
烂！Mozart Dreamer 和风景各得一星
很不像烂片的烂片，很难看懂。娇柔做作，无病呻吟是我不能够欣赏的类型，想表达的文艺却很糟乱，一头雾水。已经很用力投入想办法进去剧情，可惜不果。bytheway晚上坐在前面那对情侣真的很贱，全程毛手毛脚就算了，银幕画面是尸体的时候竟然还给我接吻，给我去死！！！滚出电影院啊最反感这样的观众真的无语死，本来就觉得难看的电影难上加上，太难看了。非常糟糕的一次观影体验。
一个网络聊骚变现的故事，结果是一场自我发现之旅，故事上两个人的视角转变，结尾再合二为一，讲的不再是感情，而是文化和社会的现状。
剧情不太符合常理，叙述略微平淡。看看狮子雪狼吧，还是帅的。剧情版动物世界。
1668。作为一个警察分辨不出来男扮女装，我个人是不太相信的。但整个故事还是真挚感人。
#片尾亲密镜头加分，恋爱脑表示无法理解为什么Daniel不带Sara回南方，留都不留一下嘛！
