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.
每隔一段时间，就会有好的国产电影出来，给你惊喜，吓你一跳，让你觉得原来国产片大有长进，跌破你的眼镜！
最后一点反励志都藏在音频彩蛋里：努力奋斗的速度永远追不上政策变化和学区房涨价的速度。
拍摄功底扎实，制作确实用心，能想到的地方都顾及到了，产品质量的把控已经很到位了，剧作为主题服务，满满当当比较俗套无法深究，就是图个还原游戏的娱乐性，评分已经说明问题了，即便是目的性明确的电影产品，只要有诚意观众都看的到。说到游戏，这种游戏，没劲我不爱玩。
看在是场青岛戏，加一分。名不见经传，简直是一场奇迹。
3.5。谭晓凡。本身就是俗套戏码，感情戏更是俗不可耐，白富美凭什么喜欢中年失业臭打游戏的有娃离异男。手游，电竞。
【B+】非常好看！超出预期值很多，剧本完成度真心很不错。运镜、打光、色调、叙事节奏和场面调度甚至要优于国内大部分院线商业电影。想夸的地方太多了，很期待两位导演未来的作品。没玩过这游戏，但能看得出来游戏部分拍的非常用心，很多游戏式表现方式的细节居然都拍出来了。缺点是故事讲到最后也没解决几个角色遇到的根源问题，有点遗憾。超想吐槽你这游戏既然有PC端那为什么这种全球规模的公开赛上不能选PC版来比赛非要选手机版…一群人坐在会场拿着手机打比赛看着超low的…
如果不是价值观不正，这片子绝逼是国产十佳，镜头电影语言节奏挑不出来任何毛病。但是如果它价值观正了还会拍得这么棒吗？扯远了，我的年度十佳，妥妥的。
导演精准的捕捉到电竞的魅力，并出色的完成了影像化，电影里的很多东西都会让我欢呼并感动着，当然网络电影常见的缺点或多或少也沾了点。
三星的水平，給四星鼓勵。一個是確實質量不差，第二個，沒太多資金，沒有明星，所以專心在故事節奏和整體效果上，最後出來的結果在同類型的國產電影裡也算拿的出手的了。當然在故事細節和一些設定上確實有點老套的飛起了，什麼撫養權，學區房，美女愛大叔這些屌絲意淫氣息也還是挺濃厚的，但是真的架不住拍的熱血啊，特別是幾場比賽都可以說可圈可點，而且最後總決賽在第二局一上來被淘汰的情況下，最後一局的反轉和奪冠設計的都合情合理，而且又帥又燃，說明在故事的核心上確實動了腦子的，而且，真的是放在院線也可以去看看的程度，這麼多年的國產網大真正意義上出了一部代表作的感覺
是的，就这样一个除了唯一电影海报，唯一预告片外，在豆瓣上没有任何其他宣传物料的网络电影，我认为他值得让我给出今年国产娱乐电影的满分——当然这里面有鼓励分，但如果你熟悉国产电影创作，你看完两个小时后，你大概会理解我为什么这么说。。。
？？？这竟然是个网大？？？除了感情线比较拉垮之外该有的都有了啊……作为 COD MW 玩家表示很真实……
谈不上完美，但绝对是诚意之作，5毛特效也可以做得挺合适，游戏界面还原的很到位！
这片子必须是网络电影（非贬义），影片的主题及制作，可以完美互文播放载体，才有可能出现有人说到的“沉浸式体验”。当然，如果放到影院层面，各方面可能都不合适，甚至会引人入睡。
节奏有点拖沓，不过游戏还原度还蛮高的，剧情还是比较老套，但形式上却有了一定的创新，主角光环太明显的，三个队友只是为了陪衬，不过也体现了团队合作的重要性
剧情俗、没悬念到极致。但是吃鸡战场的还原度还是可以的。为啥这种热血剧总要配备一个女神小姐姐负责疗伤？参考哪吒重生也是这个路数。
特喵的某些电竞剧不来学习学习人家是怎么拍的么？
3.5

7。被朋友圈刷屏后看的，真的完成度很高，个别细节不喜欢……
#点映# 有被片名和海报骗到，节奏、镜头感和画面都有可圈可点之处，非院线能做到这种程度，实属不错了。
