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.
制作得太过于粗糙了，本来反派有机会塑造成邦妮和克莱德，结果非常潦草就结束了，其他东西也是匆匆结尾，仿佛上到导演，下到摄影，全急着拍完下班回家。光记得搞基了。
屠杀屠杀了个寂寞，半集才出来，结果被宿主对象吵了个半死。再次表达主题神一样的对手不及猪一样的队友。毒液那么多年的生存阅历，结果还跟个弱智一样。变态想要跟eddie的友谊？一个半小时的电影看的我满头问号。
感觉可以不用再拍了
好短hhh 但前面还蛮好笑的，还有真的有人喜欢看触手打架吗？？ 为啥这么多无聊的打架镜头。。
特别想给电影院提个建议：电影院里严禁养鹅。我就看个电影，怎么前后左右全是奇奇怪怪的鹅鹅鹅鹅鹅鹅鹅鹅鹅鹅鹅鹅鹅鹅的声音呢？说回电影本身，确实是太好笑了鹅鹅鹅鹅鹅鹅鹅

带着5.0的预期看竟然被惊喜到，至少比上一部好看，剧情薄弱，但是特效打斗还不错
哈欠连天昏昏欲睡。编剧是在用脚写剧本吧，成片质量连当嗨爽爆米花都不够格。这ip算是造废了，找蜘蛛侠联动隐隐嗅到一丝不安的气息。
胡编乱造生拉硬套赶鸭子上架的破烂剧情，搞笑时的汤老师和片尾彩蛋是仅存看点。
居然能比《黑寡妇》《永恒族》更烂，是我真的没想到的。虽然第一部也是经典漫威流水线作品，但这部已经是三流网络小说水平加页游特效的垃圾片了
主角跟毒液越来越不讨喜，设定这么牛，打起来却这么弱，那两弱点显得无比幼稚。看完了都不知道看了什么，只能蹭蜘蛛侠热度了。
操 感覺看了一部memes 但湯老師這麼可愛總不能打一星吧
兴致勃勃的看完之后发现我都想不起来第一部有什么情节了，估计用不了几天也会忘了这第二部有什么情节。。。唯一能记住就是汤老湿和嘴炮venom，所以这一IP出多少部都行，反正也没人关心什么剧情……
在柏林看的，好多人。德语的所以其实没有百分之百明白，不过九十明白。我觉得毒液好傲娇哦哈哈哈，然后那个红色分裂出来的叫他爸爸哈哈哈，好可爱怎么办，还有那个我觉得CP太多了，磕不动了快。
毒液很可爱，不应该叫致命守护者，叫二人的甜蜜约会得了，真的不是秀恩爱么？（bushi，话说屠杀给的设定和留白也太少了，剧情好单薄啊，感觉没啥可的看头，像一本故事只讲结局，能再多点东西的，毒液的设定已经和最初的外星生物邪恶混沌偏离了不少，纯傻白甜女主了有点，只是没那么傻白甜，我很喜欢venom，因为可爱！他和addie很好磕！但这一部确实是不太行，如果有第三部，我真建议sony往比较黑暗一点的角度走一走，感觉会给这个IP的质感提高不少.
总共就90多分钟，还搁这水剧情，艾迪与毒液吵架，毒液出去胡闹然后被女主角找回来。这段剧情有什么意义？
毒液明明是个挺有意思的设定但是MCU好像根本不想在Eddie Brock的人物弧光上下任何力气，怎么的难不成看不起汤老师表演能力吗（！
反派演技和魅力值没有跟上，人物关系狗血，剧情过于简单，整体甚至不如迷你剧质量，完全没有达到电影院爆米花英雄电影的级别，很同情刚上映时花了钱去电影院看的影迷。

就，很无聊。吃巧克力不如吃鸡脑，吃鸡脑不如吃人脑。毒液长期吃巧克力变得十分弱智，与毒液共生的埃迪智商也下滑了，搞得这部电影前半部分就不是超英片，也不是怪兽片，而是“婚姻故事”。反派在被屠杀附身之前也还算正常，附身之后也变傻了。比较正常的只有前女友安，看来要成为普通人只能远离毒液的侵蚀。看了彩蛋的我一点也不激动，甚至希望这俩角色最好不要去祸害蜘蛛侠。
