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.
Petit film d'animation familial et sympa cherche à contre-courant (ou en suivant la tendance) à créer des anti-héros bien humains sous sa gentille forme de "Buddy Movie" policier mais finit par se ranger dans la case "stéréotype" avec une intrigue peu ou prou conventionnelle au twist pas vraiment surprenant.
固有印象的改变并非你做了好事还是坏事，而是取决于他人都主观臆断，他人的主观臆断取决于他受到的教育
虽然卡通化了 但我看见这么多鼠科聚集 我还是惶恐了……
州长以前是贼 确实没想到！！
我就喜欢这种风格的动画片，奈何豆瓣向来不待见。上一部这么好看且低分的是智能大反攻
20220515 at 深圳七巧国。一般吧
挺解压的片子，狐狼组合好帅，结尾五个小朋友在我前面一起蹦迪哈哈哈。
稍偏低龄向的反传统盗宝题材影片。除主角团外，市长和警长的女性设定均令人耳目一新。尽管也是充分商业化考量后的产物，但梦工厂动画比起「稳健」得几近保守的迪士尼还是有趣多了。
小狐狸真是太性感了
轻松好看，逻辑也很顺畅，故事也讲清楚了，Mr.Wolf很帅！
其实故事是一般的治愈劝人善良。一部卡通能够立起来，很大程度在于形象设计跟配音的契合。动物城如此，坏蛋们也是如此。
挺美好的自传，前半段有多喜悦后半段就有多悲伤。献给那不勒斯的《罗马》，新一代意大利导演的《8部半》，总有一位女神总有上帝之手的眷顾，人生总是在天意和人为之手下踽踽而行。
适合小朋友看……吧？成年人看的话估计会各种走神。
哈哈，挺纯粹的一个标准好莱坞大片，反转有，燃爆的剧情有，画面风格很舒服，人物性格塑造得也挺好的，算是2022年一部不错的片子吧！~
虽然说各种即时感特别强
还不错的动画片吧，故事还算完整，一切都在预料之中～
坏蛋联盟的转型之路，挺有意思的一部动画，被所有人都视为坏人的人心里也会有朵善良之花，而被誉为善良模范的人或许才是真的坏人
emmm 看完有点后悔看他的感觉，差么也没特别差，但看么也不值得
“你的使命是什么？”
MVFF 导演Q&A场 那不勒斯永远蔚蓝动人的天和海，快艇全速前进时发出的声响，为了马拉多纳欢声雷动的球迷们，出现在性幻想里的美艳姨妈的胴体，共同交织成导演对经历重大变故之前在Naples度过的美好少年时光的旧梦。前半段祥和欢乐，某个事故之后一切急转直下，给电影增添了一层惆怅悲伤的苦涩。非常享受在电影院观看这部电影，映后见到了导演Sorrentino和在片中饰演导演本人的男主演，两人很像，仿若父子，一样的害羞内敛。活动过后的整个周末我都沉浸在如磕药般的兴奋中，后劲很足。
