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.
战斗场面还是值得一看的。所谓争议的片段根本不值一提，不知之后诺兰的《奥本海默》会不会经历类似事件。70
Hello haven’t seen you serval thousand years! Goodbye, see you another serval thousand years. It’s hard to make a commercial movies with literary way. Those artistic scenes were quite good though the comedic parts were not working. Guess no one wants to add those boring jokes in their art work. I will take that as a compromise.
从各个方面平庸，而且很白左式的、机械式的政治正确——黑人、亚裔、女领导、同志、聋哑人、未成年保护、世界和平全齐了。各角色太多又要均衡照顾就分散了人物塑造，还得不断地回首人类被殖民史，所以显得拖沓。这文本要么填充成上下两集，要么压缩节奏成更紧凑的商业大片，都比这么笨重地、机械式地兼顾好。最后，永恒族的战力太弱鸡了，这阵容真不如地球几个变种人。6.5
坊间诟病的政治正确设定放在电影情境下倒还算合理。是拯救现在的生命，还是尚未出生的生命，这个命题怕不是在嘲讽美国某些州的反堕胎政策。原子弹和片尾暴露了赵姐的历史水平也就那样。最意外的是马东锡和朱莉，他俩竟然真有点子cp感，不愧是老戏骨啊二位（虽然朱莉和哈卷也有）。瞅瞅赵婷给嘉玛陈打的光，尚气能不能学着点。
打一星的可能是被纸拿征服教育的没有爱了吧，体会不到赵婷想传递的东西，可怕
真没想到作为漫威电影提了好几次DC英雄，更没想到内核居然是一部犯罪片。这帮战斗力还不如一代复联的生化人不仅是天神组的工具人，更是导演的工具人。赵婷用文艺片的调度节奏配上商业大片的视觉奇观，制造出了一个大型影像灾难现场。似乎她对镜头前端所发生的一切毫不关心，只在乎后景的自然风光是否足够壮丽。
全球地理 人类简史 神秘主义 马利克风景 还有那个啥 后种系生成 真的忙得不可开交 但也没那么差劲 主要是主角嘉玛陈有点跟不上 赵婷也是一样
太好看了。命题很宏大，画面很有蛮荒之美。造型和剧情以及主旨与《魔兽世界》和《刺客信条亚特兰蒂斯》有许多想通处，弘扬的是美国人自由意志的核心价值观。有很多亚洲面孔，有男♂同性恋，这些可有可无吧。女主角太像我的同事刘文娟了，时常跳戏。太好看了，再给中国一百年也拍不出来。
强行把一堆宗教历史社会议题塞进一部爆米花类型片里，结果只能是两边都不讨好。还有人类进化是靠着高等外星生命帮助的这套理论，有点简单粗暴，还有点蠢，消解了人类进化本身的艰辛，明明是漫长的时间、不断的试错、付出无数代价的过程。当然进化到今天，也依旧是个人类而已。。
MCU最烂没有之一，以致于我要把这部片子分类到“搞笑”分类。设定与此前所有MCU电影格格不入，关键是剧情也没有足够的说服力来让观众信服，片外的其他各种政治因素都尚在其次，本片的烂跟各种正确一点关系都没有。
好看。啥时候第二部(˶‾᷄ ⁻̫ ‾᷅˵)
拍的不能说烂，但故事没什么意思，除了动作戏大部分时间感觉像文艺片，可谁要看漫威拍文艺片？所以找赵婷拍真是挺莫名其妙的，导演和漫威双输。让萝卜和囧雪演情敌挺恶趣味的哈哈
最开始第一场有点装bi，集人类狗血剧情于一体的机器人版爱恨情仇
就这真的用得着请安吉丽娜朱莉吗？还是说她只是来领养其他所有人的？
2.5 能get到赵婷想要表达的，属于eternal和immortal的浪漫，但就片子本身而言，非常不伦不类，后半部分明显还行，所以我觉得如果拍成剧会好很多，拍成电影怎么看怎么别扭。最后，MCU系列这块又臭又长的裹脚布到底什么时候是个头
拍得太松散了，剧情走马观花，角色动机莫名其妙。我为什么总是这样在漫威电影上一次又一次不吸取教训：明明知道漫威和我八字不合，还非要屁颠屁颠看，看完再次陷入又一次被当傻子观众的懊恼里。赵婷不适合拍商业片。整部电影除了特效，没啥可看的。漫威的角色总是那么一如既往的低幼。
❶赵婷赋予漫威的“上帝视角”；
电影院看的，音效与视效不错，有史诗感，推荐去电影院观看。风格和以往漫威的作品不同，避免了审美疲劳。也很好地解释了为什么永恒族没有过多介入人类历史，参与对抗灭霸的战争。
好多细节好笑。两个印度人太搞笑了。亚裔女主长得可看，特效太拉垮，朱莉好美。故事有些逻辑硬伤。
PSS：虽然早有准备，但名场面一出现，还是让人觉得像生吞了一只蟑螂。
