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.
韩国版《孤狼之血》少了些血腥、暴力与变态😅😅😅
郑渊洁的故事虽然我不了解，但确实是我这一代人小时候会在广播上听的，电影中校园的氛围也很有九十年代的影子，包括那种水泥厕所，甚至老师说的一些话几乎都在重叠，有点感慨。虽然还是温情地处理，毫无疑问包含在背后的就是一个畸形的教育体系的黑暗。最后点出魔方大厦，又是另一个经典。
赵震雄崔宇植朴熙顺啊！这阵容有不看的道理吗
孩子们的世界真的太美好了！简单，纯粹，热情，有矛盾也能立刻合好。好喜欢鲁西西还有博士这两个角色！博士小哥哥好帅！
剧情有点平 看评论原著可能刺激一些 崔宇植我爱了 男主都很厉害的
我小学最喜欢看郑渊洁的童话，你电影价值观与时俱进我认可，但是你这个剧情槽点也太多了，还不如去看喜洋洋。最来气的后面那个逃生简直反面教材，你这个到底是给小孩看还是给大人看好呢。而且几个成年人演技还不如人家小孩
随大荧幕回到上世纪八九十年代，《罐头小人》的布景确实很用心。只是在特效和画质上，还有非常非常大的提升空间……
对于这个卡司表和人物设定来说，剧情太平淡，节奏不紧凑，没有很吸引人目不转睛的点。崔宇植属于是蛮神奇的一个年轻演员，时常让我在觉得他“很好拿捏”和“非常难搞”之间横跳。
本来挺简单的一个事搞的七拐八拐的以为增加了悬疑性其实让整个片子疲软了很多
意外地还不错，在原著和市场选择的子供向电影之前找了一个恰当的平衡点。
朴熙顺的声音猛一听跟安内相一样，光听声音还真分不出来
中间混乱没搞清楚了，首尾来看简单概括就是黑白分明的新人最后知道了这不可行的也要变成灰色了。
抠图效果明显，作为童话大王世界男一的皮皮鲁没什么存在感，不过小孩子还是挺喜欢看的。
同步看的《夜叉》，韩国片看多了也挺套路的，不过至少比《夜叉》好
最最出名的，就是《罐头小人》主角皮皮鲁，鲁西西。
鲁西西好惨啊。优秀了一百次失败一次就被彻底否决的人是她，热心帮了同学要被开除的人是她，最懂事却要承受父母道德绑架的人是她，自身难保还被朋友质问无情的人是她，被敌人坑到有性命之忧还让敌人先逃的人还是她。但她还是选择那样做了。她做的每件事都是那样无私，都超越了一己之利，她捡回一条命时只记得为上尉可能丢了一条命而痛哭。
尤其值得让人惊喜的是，这部电影基本上都是由小演员们扮演，演技非常棒。完全看不出表演的痕迹，感觉未来可期。
说是改编自日本推理巨作，结果电影一点推理成分都没有，故事还讲的漏洞百出，赵振雄结尾用的那些计谋到底有啥用啊？结尾还安然无恙，把整部电影塑造的认真氛围都打破了，其实导演想拍人的变化，小白警察初出茅庐极附正义感，然后逐渐被环境逼得走进灰色地带，但是没拍出来啊，剧本不如不当交易，演技不如孤狼之血，6.3
他是个好警察，是个剑走偏锋的好警察！
可以预见的剧情，不太好记的人物名，但灰色地带的警察那种被诱惑和正义左右，被黑白两边误解猜忌，演得很好，这感觉就像ICAC查阿sir一样，有时只有加入坏人才能惩治更极恶之人吧。韩国人和HK还是挺感拍这种黑幕题材的，勇气可嘉。
