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.
没有传统韩国政治电影的暗流汹涌，而是平稳缓慢的叙事去讲述历史，整体倒没有枯燥，一直在个体中进行辩驳，感觉从去年开始韩国电影一改猛拳套路开始做起了人文思辨，走更加内敛的创作方向。
引用台词也要删，那你们还是把这部电影干脆删掉吧
两个理想主义者的失败，一个信念的背叛与崩塌，一个理想被现实打败，可耻的懦弱的背叛者，导致理想的溃败，🥚理想者的脊梁一直坚挺着。也许这不是政治，而是童话。
剧情紧凑，跌宕起伏，阳光越亮的地方他的阴影越暗。
影片没有紧张刺激的动作戏，着重表现两位主角的观念冲突，一明一暗，李善均略逊于薛景求。
严重喜欢男主薛景求，严重不喜男配李善均……
对手戏非常精彩，台词很蜿蜒，散发着一股子韭菜炒大肠般的杂味，很有玩味；世上最脏的是什么，除了政治，我想没有替代品…
金没竞选上，在于卸磨杀驴。当然，历史重来，这是加工的电影，复杂因素会多很多，所以，做人还是要看长远。
薛景求 李善均 赵宇镇 刘在明 啊啊啊啊啊a

把韩国政治前半段拍的有点儿戏，后半段又拍的太过于沉闷
韩国电影对韩国的历史进程的呈现也算是不遗余力了,<南山的部长们>拍的就是朴正熙被枪杀的事件,这部电影讲的是韩国总统大选的一个历程吧,以前还记得看过一个什么司机的,也是历史事件改编的,至少,韩国历史在电影里透明的,这也许才是文明该有的样子吧
柏拉图：“为了正义，任何手段都可以考虑”。
喜剧下的悲剧，光鲜下的肮脏。可惜即使剧本再好、演员水准再高，残酷也不及现实的百分之一。我们都要在“坏人永远提拔坏人”的社会中在内心做出选择，是全面的毁灭，肮脏的妥协还是自我的救赎。
好无聊的故事啊，制作费115亿，票房才72.50亿，亏了不冤
军师，不亏是智慧担当，那一房间的书，那种东西
薛景求 李善均 赵宇镇 刘在明 啊啊啊啊啊a
因为不了解所以觉得好无聊 大段对白 还剩下三十分钟也看不出演技在哪里
相信看过导演不汗党的，看这部多少会和我一样失望，镜头语言退步实在严重。也别提南山的部长，韩国政治惊悚类型片多了去，不用强行并列。这部前半段选举的梗其实更像拉拉因的《智利说不》。整部片亮点都落在薛演技（但看过薛前作就知道对他其实没什么挑战）和肖的人设（可惜选角，如果让郑雨盛或者更极端些崔岷植吴达洙来演会更好）。不功不过，平庸之作。导演后生可畏，值得期待。
看了半个小时感觉超级无聊。主题也好老土，无非是目的高尚手段能不能肮脏，好老土。两个叔叔说台词声音好听极了，看他俩宣传期上JaeJae的文明特辑，节目可比这片子有趣多了。
