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.
感人主题没有错，没有做得更好的原因是因为收宫处理不及青少年夺冠时那么有感觉，使得电影节奏先扬后抑，到结尾就难以再抬起来了。苏桦伟三个时代的演员衔接非常棒，观众有看着他成长的感觉，吴君如的妈妈是托住整个戏的灵魂。
很順暢的一部傳記電影，另一個層面來說，實在太工整了些。後三分之一高潮反而過度煽情了，台詞設計感太重。最喜歡阿偉替媽媽掛上金牌那場戲，母子之間的親暱和溫情表露無遺。幾位主角的表演幾乎都沒有什麼表演痕跡，很讓人驚喜。當然這類題材的出現，能受到主流人群的關注，本身就是一件很棒的事。
比较有诚意的励志片，多次触发泪点，情绪的烘托是很足的，特别是最后在北奥夺冠再加上之前一些心路历程的回顾，真的是感动的热泪盈眶了。不过，就剧情本身来说，还是有点刻意偏情感方面了，并没有好好的把一些具体的经历好好展开，中间夺冠历程一带而过，后面倒是反映出了一些家庭方面的困难与不易，但是有点浮于表面，整体来说故事有点粗糙，不过吴君如的表演还是依旧yyds，把母亲这个角色塑造的有血有肉，看好金像奖再拿影后！总体来说，作为励志片来说还是不错的，泪点十足，就是把故事再好好打磨一下会更好。
港版阿甘终成苏神。令人震惊的是，这样一部正能量体育片竟颇有岁月神偷之遗风
五星好评十分感动。大的视角有些运动员以及残障人士的无奈，小世界里有母爱的担当。
真实故事改编
三位演员找的好像，但是都跟苏桦伟本人不太像（觉得张家辉那种长相比较像哈）。少年演员的段落演的最好。片名起反了，要不就是内容拍反了，反正成片是神奇小子的妈妈。
看的国语版，吴君如的配音不好，有点出戏。希望正式上映后有粤语版排片，我会再去一次影院支持票房。
生了弟弟是为照顾哥哥，生活拮据是为了让哥哥能一直跑步，生活的一切重心都为了哥哥。
港片電影的特點之一，
而港隊在本屆殘奧會亦未能再現奪金神奇。
苏神微博推荐来的。
“对于运动员来说，一瞬间的光辉不代表永恒。”
运动员的薪酬与退役后的去处，这不仅是一个社会问题。也是个人身份转变的适应程度与自身事业的一种坚持。
剧情顺畅煽情刚好演员表现都太棒了，就是感觉故事讲得很浅...（胡子彤真尼玛帅
粤语版点映场。这种题材的人物传记片真的很好哭（当然笑点也不少），又正逢奥运年，过两天残奥会就要开幕了，这个时间点看这部片子简直不能更应景了！相比起一个天生残疾的小子从走路都不会到短跑世界冠军甚至屡次打破世界纪录的励志成长过程，运动员比赛之外的日常境遇更令人唏嘘，没钱只能接广告，拍广告又影响训练，联系最近吃的不少运动员瓜真是唉，以及即使到现在依然有不少运动员（更何况残疾运动员）退役后日子艰难唉。至于影片刻意拔高渲染的母爱部分，固然感人，但削弱了前述那些更有社会意义的情节，同理还有中文片名，明明英文名叫zero to hero，中文名难道是为了凸显吴君如？毕竟是全片最大的咖？不过三姑演得是真的好，三位不同年龄段的男主也演得非常好（找到那么像的三个人真是神了），片尾真人照片发现竟然比演员还帅hhh
也许都是吴君如主演，看这部戏的时候总是会想到《岁月神偷》
如果你看了这部电影没有哭，那我实在是理解不了你的境界。我很想把一包纸巾分一半给旁边的大哥大姐，但我自己也不够用。。。
不打星。片没有预告好哭。吴君如做的妈妈总有点用力过度。（但是我真的很喜欢她这个人，听她说话好开心）少年演员和青年演员都选的很好，也演得很好。吴君如还上了好多电台节目推片，这部片也进一步推动了邻近地区对残障运动员福利的提高（本来环境就会比较好）。还要推一波jer和儿童合唱团的《神奇之路》。以前没没能听紧jer的歌，但是配合电影食用还真有点想哭。
stereotype母爱，然后弟弟好惨，全剧最惨，唉
