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.
特别嗨，反套路，恶趣味比漫威家的《死侍》要赛高，但也不是一个类型的恶趣味。深度啥的全扔了，完完全全就是让观众看爽而已，但爽片做的好也是一种本事。为这么嗨的电影，他完全值得一个高评分。
血腥，暴力，恶搞，吃爆米花儿般的开心， DC也可以做漫威风格的大片了，主角的话像开挂，，非主角就随时领便当。
不能在电影院看到这种顶级配置的精彩爆米花真的很遗憾，哈莉奎茵出逃带来了近年仅次于王男炸烟花的R级视觉盛宴。滚导的厉害之处就在于把这些离谱得不行的东西用很舒服的方式呈现出来，不仅能看得爽还能切实和人物产生情感联结，光这一点就足够吊打上一版和猛禽小队。鬼才！
充满各种对美帝的恶意讽刺和隐喻，没错，就是通过这种自嘲和主动暴露缺点的疏解方式，才能让社会压力有序释放，而不是一直憋着炸个大的——这方面美帝不知比something高到哪里去了——其实老百姓每天苦中作乐，不就是想图个心里痛快一会儿么？结果你不让他痛快一时，他就不让你痛快一世，慈禧都懂你不懂。
带着侄女一起观看的我，错了；最有好感的角色不出意外地，便当了；而人类养宠物的愿望，已经膨胀到想要养鲨鱼了，是的，看完谁不想要个鲨鱼王。
哆啦A梦边看边骂骂咧咧地离开了影院……在看够了一堆让人厌烦的政治正确系超英电影之后，终于看到了一部充满unpredictable的伪英雄电影，说让人死就让人死的这种拍法、血肉横飞的动作戏和滚导的各种恶趣味，终于给了死气沉沉的超英电影又续命了一波，希望这片能让dc和漫威意识到，在硬质量面前，光靠性别和肤色的政治正确都是纸老虎
剧情真的有点无聊了，感觉人物形象单薄，远比不过第一部每个人物亦正亦邪的魅力。
刻意弱化了反派的存在感，强调了整个救援过程和各队员的风格，是本片成功之处。幽默，大胆，血腥暴力，娱乐性足够强。
观影时一直在想，周星驰应该很喜欢这片吧。最振奋的其实是序幕段落，大胆挑衅、嘲谑正统的英雄叙事，一切都是剑走偏锋反着来的。到了正章又走回了套路。不过，滚导的黑色幽默和暴力想象（花瓣舞杀人太惊艳了）依然撑起了全程。阴谋揭晓后，巨型派大星有了象征意味，这种怪兽才有意思，基本可以对标哥斯拉来理解了。自杀小队面对怪物时，一一获得了灵魂上的慰藉，光点那句“我就是超级英雄”好动人啊。胜利终将属于鼠辈！
三棱爆翘！太好看了！应该属于限制级的！特别爽！各种燃爆！音乐也好！故事也棒！真他妈的好看！谁他妈的说黄鼬不会游泳，哈哈哈哈
从各种角色的结果来看，确实是低等如鼠，如泣草芥，既是一次全面清算旧账，也和它的表达是一致的。而且看得出来Gunn导不仅喜欢特摄片，还很爱复联1（结尾部分）。
首周末票房：2620万
够飒够血腥够搞笑，当然，掺了点温馨更到位。小丑女其实算起来是酱油女罢
偶尔的真情与严肃在整部电影诙谐无厘头的基调下同样惹人发笑。
那个塔让我想起了萨鲁曼双塔奇兵里的白塔。同样都是科技兴国，一个是外星怪物，一个是克隆半兽人。再说了，有了防弹鲨鱼人和高维度病毒这种神奇的存在，为什么还要在意那些外星海星呢？把一大群神奇的人当炮灰。最后那个海星太萌了。简直有爱，这么大的眼睛。最后用老鼠穿透眼睛真的吐了。
我不允许有人没看过我又疯又美的Harley老婆
1.再也无法直视派大星 2.人类是时候把地球还给老鼠了。PS：结尾真是对人类当下排外主义困境的最好诠释
这个尺度真是过瘾，冷热兵器轮番上阵，血肉横飞。普世价值观终究高于意识形态，无论多么杀人不眨眼，小孩子是底线。小丑女值得一场又一场的个人show，标枪杀人，血浆变鲜花；在大海星的眼睛里游泳，自由又浪漫。这是嗑了几斤药，才能创作出这样暴力与唯美兼备的场景。
你以为它要怎样，它又偏不怎样。
我也曾幸福过 自由漂浮 仰望星空
