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.
可以说这是一部导演学习《银翼杀手》的习作。
永恆族的意思就是：一群情緒控制比人類還差的人
个人创作意图与漫威整体企划痛苦交媾产下的畸形混血儿
想说的太多了，琢磨琢磨再慢慢写吧。这肯定不是一部完美优秀的爆米花大片，但熬过前30分钟以后，它一定会给你惊喜。赵婷依旧是赵婷，她细腻而真诚的人文关怀视角，第一次让漫威电影拥有了前所未有的严肃，深刻，与宏大。即便这初次的尝试还有很多拧巴的地方，但绝对展现出了许多潜力，是个好的开始。美国人可能永远也拍不出EVA，日本人也拍不了星际穿越。但赵婷和漫威一起，将来有可能真的可以做出一部，集东西之长为一体的，伟大科幻电影。希望漫威未来可以更有勇气，放下那种“再糟糕的事也要用轻松的口吻说”的油滑。而全世界的观众们，可以拥有一颗，更包容的心吧。
金玉其外 败絮其中 又臭又长 混沌杂乱 like play house（相比之下 尚气也太好看了吧
女版johnwicker，女主不错，挺卖力的，不过照基努里维斯差不少火候。
神仙安排文明发展跟和面似的，逻辑就是年多了加水，水多了加面
三星半。不曾比肩神明，也无法归于人海；冠以永恒之名，却深谙轮回之苦。见证了蛮荒的杀戮，于是渴求生存的意义，经历过干涸的岁月，所以贪图点滴的爱意。踏遍弱水去敲响悲鸣的丧钟，相去天渊也不绝爱情的回响，难以揣摩天地便只能向尘世的幸福低头，无法面对阴影便唯有朝太阳的灰烬走去。
好看，视觉效果很赞，有一点赛博朋克内味。镜头风格很具有电子游戏的质感，节奏流畅动作设计也很不错。惟一的缺点估计是玛丽不怎么会打（毕竟不是动作影星），导致动作戏略显无力。玛丽的电影从最开始的甜妹属性到中期的知性熟女再到现在的假小子硬汉风格真的是跨度太大，还是比较喜欢《怪形前传》时的人设。
目前我的MCU最佳！夸夸漫威跨出的LGBT第一步，但我更想夸这部电影的女性视角，如此令人舒适，更重要的是讨论的主题就是与女性有关的，关于个体是否应该承担生育、繁衍的问题，第一次在超英电影看到这样的讨论。（如果可以看到1.43:1的画幅就更爽了555）
场面太少。剧情弱智。第一场室内打斗完成度不错？
觉得非常好看。incredible human stories。导群戏真的非常难，尤其这么一堆人，但是很有条理，人物塑造都很好。而且情绪做的太好了，太懂了。什么一眼万年的羁绊之类的。场面和幽默都是漫威的，但是情感节奏和细节确确实实是Chloe的。真的非常稳，三个小时没有rush没有unnecessary。我看endgame都没哭看这个差点掉眼泪。Angelina Jolie！我的妈呀！！！Barry Keoghan！我的妈呀！！！
想了几天后决定改一星了，我很想知道赵婷身为中国人，为什么要在片中控诉广岛核爆？//也就比女侠1984高级点
是赵婷的片没错了，和其前作的特点也是一模一样的：“明星”感叹着大地之美，但大地上的普通人却被抛之脑后，最终只留下明星们空洞的思考；漫威宇宙野心大到要吞并现实世界，因此一切所谓历史和物质都是可以随意摆弄的美丽景观。
看有人称赞女性视角，这是视角么，这是女性意淫，人也杀了人，队友也都干了，临门一脚因为是前女友就放弃了？？？最后跑去太阳自杀，这是在逗我？两星全给动作场面和画面
小女孩的演技赛爆了。这部电影才是女性帮助女性啊，厌烦那些大叔拯救萝莉了。
黑人。。。科学家？日本人。。。受害者？不应该是日本人下跪嘛？
无聊且冗长，前边是快进看完的，导演对大场面的想象力和对多线程叙事的节奏把控都不行，跟漫威宇宙其他情节也完全没有交互，说文艺不文艺说商业不商业。另外作为导演和第一编剧的赵婷，果然是白人社会的皈依者，似乎完全认为中国没有古文明，其本人真是一个自成体系的自我世界啊~
主角团就是一群bug……原来嘉玛·陈才是一番女主……
至于备受争议的黑人在广岛下跪痛哭反思原子弹的新闻，感觉媒体报道过程中，这场过程戏的引申表达有点被夸大了，因为我还没看明白呢，这场戏结束了
