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.
网飞现在的科幻特效片感觉洒洒水，反正都是流水线制作动不动就来，还都是大牌参与。ps：小贱贱怎么永远嘴炮了这都几部了
本片属于是漫威演职人员的私下联谊 因此剧情不重要；剧情是 各种电影桥段的拿来、拼凑、缝合 演员们照本宣科即可；瑞安雷诺兹势必是要在毒舌嘴炮搞笑耍贱卖萌男的路上一条道走到黑了……
仿佛所有这种碎嘴主角的科幻片都要找这家伙来演了，以及马克路弗洛真的是长了一张专门演温情文艺片的脸。
故事核儿是成立的，其实是一场心理剧。但是包这么多层皮还互相打架，必须怪委员会编剧。小亚当的演员表现最好，希望他前路也走好。
2050年由于时空穿越飞船发明出后，妻子劳拉驾驶飞船意外失踪、父亲死因不明，亚当怀疑时空局的玛雅有问题；为查明真相，偷一架时空穿越飞机准备返回2018年找到发明时间机器的父亲路易斯以阻止研制，但却意外穿越回到父亲已死亡的2022年，遇到13岁的自己，需要二次穿越回2018，且反派老板玛雅带机甲战士杀来，危机之时妻子劳拉驰援而来。原来，劳拉4年前发现玛雅违规穿越回2018擅自篡改历史以控制世界，玛雅为掩盖罪行炸毁了劳拉的穿越飞船致使劳拉困在2018年。再次穿越至2018年，此时路易斯已发现磁粒子加速器可产生虫洞，进入虫洞就能实现时空穿越，并研制出一台磁粒子加速器。取出加速器的硬盘后，玛雅持枪挟持13岁的亚当索要硬盘，争斗间，2018年的玛雅被打死，继而2050年的玛雅消失。最后，13岁的亚当谅
小旋风天天不错，他出现之前的剧情都比较一般，中间开始还不错，我问我崽好看不，他没有一部动画片电影觉得不好看的😂😂
披着科幻动作外衣的家庭片，但很温暖，小朋友的演技可圈可点。
猫咪有点吓人 全片觉得最有视觉冲击力的就是火车上的行李箱了
除了2050空战还是在狗斗，纸糊盔甲士兵排队送这两点，不深究逻辑的话别的还可以。能吃下不少爆米花。
着力模仿《回到未来》，却怎么也学不到80年代的神髓，只拍出一个老套至极的故事。见不到任何2020年的痕迹，你说是1990年我也信。
可以说是正宗爆米花电影了，科幻战机、光剑对战，插科打诨、家庭亲情，这样一部什么的都有的电影，就像是流水线上的标准产品，无功无过，就连海报都好像是上个世纪的风格。但在这个疫情肆虐的年代，还有这样一批电影人在兢兢业业地拍片子，已经很值得鼓励了，更何况，电影中的两个亚当，都是超NICE，一个帅一个萌，很加分！还是值得推荐一下的。
陪崽崽看的，女儿三岁不到看的津津有味，但凡超过三岁就别看了，太弱智。
family family ugh ugh ugh
披着科幻外衣的家庭伦理剧。话说光剑是挺帅的。死侍男依然那么嘴碎。
此外，这部电影也凸显了现今好莱坞电影的一大通病，太多的插科打诨和“油腔滑调”，作为核心要素的故事反而在很大程度上被遮蔽了。
今年看过最好的动画电影，没有之一。美加妈妈在车下护住小萌鸡的那一刻真的很感动。
Ryan演什么都是碎嘴，那还看什么？唯一的亮点可能就是船新的光剑
还是挺有意思的啦~~所以亚当为啥长大了之后头发颜色也变了呢哈哈？剧情逻辑上真的是不敢想，想想就感觉应该是有大问题。。他们这样随随便便地穿越来穿越去简直是。。。。小正太真的挺可爱的，演得也棒棒的！赞一个啦
三星半。时空穿越，科幻+家庭亲情片。漫威演员大杂烩，死侍卡魔拉绿巨人，没有办法的事，上漫威就是打开世界辨识度知名度，就会有片约。特效还是很不错的。两个不同年龄的儿子斗嘴挺有意思，两个儿子见父亲的玩棒球情节还是很温馨。个人而言超出网飞烂片预期
死侍+绿巨人+卡魔拉+超胆侠的女朋友，漫威下岗人员再就业
