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.
我们从降临到世间的那一刻，就被迫成为世俗的人。挣扎一生，也只是学会用微笑和从容来掩饰极尽冷漠、极致热烈、极致疯狂的内心。压抑的内心快要窒息。直到我遇到了那个女孩。人群喧闹中，她弯下腰捡起了我落在地上无人注意的钱包。她语意未落时，我仿佛能看懂她未说出的话。亲近她的念头疯狂滋生。我的余光一直留意她。她被灌酒的时候，难受跑厕所的时候，她坐在我旁边说话的时候，她睡懒觉的时候。不知不觉我的眼里，心里全是她。我从家里出走，她说让我久等了。我剪了短发，她说好像我一直就是这个造型。她，总说出让我惊讶的话。让我的心颤动的话。好想好想一直和她在一起。
有笑有泪。
日本有《美好的世界》，咱只能拍出这么个玩意儿。
说实话，没那么好，但也没那么差，但也算是用心了，不算纯圈钱。
女女版影里的感觉（？大概是因为最近看了影里）以及被海包围的国家在海啸过后终归大海这种表达很喜欢。
蓝色啊，那是最温暖的颜色，也是最疏离的颜色…
节奏好慢，但很能get到两位女生之间的感情，最后手绘那段竟然看哭了😢
百合但不十分百合，非常有日系味儿的一部片子，我宁愿叫它海啸遇难者家属纪录片。女主很漂亮
字不够了，算啦！
画面很美，岸井的演技也很触动人，能get到导演和编剧想表达什么，但整体还是有点无聊和平淡。
前后简直跟不是一个人拍似的，滨边视角那段我不说拍得有多优秀，至少是正常的，而且人设感觉还挺吸引人。前面那是什么鬼，人设前后矛盾，故事松散无意义，台词经常突然鸡汤，尴尬得我起鸡皮疙瘩，并且还恋爱脑！
《关于下个捡到我小猫钱包的是我的命中命中这件小事》
这也是我唯一一部配速观看的片子
最后落到了给再改造人员一个机会身上，感觉还是挺有社会意义的。
两星分别给美波和雪乃，真的不能再多了，披着看似百合的外皮，其实主线还是在写海啸后带给人们的创伤（看完中间对每个受难者家属的采访和片尾就知道了），堇其实只是想让真奈自我坚强成长，并没有什么百合实锤，真的要写百合线的话，多拍10分钟就有了：小酒馆喝完酒——在车站堇说出了小猫钱包的事——末班车错过——和真奈回家——再参考《你永远比那些家伙年轻》里面奈绪和由衣的桥段——第二天告别去海边——再结尾和老婆婆的对话，这样整部影片就更丰满了
把电影拍的这么好确实也不容易。
两个人的故事，就不要牵扯第三个工具人。你说旅行后回来再见，和我说的till the end of time可能就是明天，没有那么多未来在等待。
好喜欢。说实话看日本电影看得太少，这部算是第一部真正让我看进去的吧。前后有太多呼应了，电影内部有很多联系的话好像会让我更加沉浸。例（一次山崖上、一次礁石旁，突然切到航拍镜头再向海面衍生，最后镜头抬起，面向海平面。不同的是第一次是和你建立连接的时刻，天空只是多云；第二次是我决定寻找你的时刻，有着出升的太阳和清澈的风。像这样的还有很多，我的理解是导演就想通过这些细小的转变来构造思想的转变和递进。
比较自然的东北电影，相较于那些刻意堆砌东北元素的电影，我更爱看这种，有些土话真是很久很久没听到过了。就是结尾太傻了。
挺有意思 这种网剧加上明星 还是挺有看头的
