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.
评论里都看完全片了吗？所有战争镜头稀烂好吧，前后衔接毫无逻辑，宛如一堆不知所措的素材被杂乱地塞进ppt。倒是剧情推进自然流畅，首尾呼应，于细微处见爱国主义，可以说是很精致的叙事了。扣一星是给崩得非常彻底的救援过程的。
生化改造人非控制原子就不必吐槽了，
国籍一换 肯定评论过千 毛子对战斗英雄足够的尊重
1、我们没有打败俄罗斯，我们骗了他们。
这可甩了我国的空天猎几条街。有对苏联时期巨大军事力量的向往，也有对苏联解体以及后续的无奈。最后依然有传承。还能不忘初心，牢记使命。讲真，真不错。就是各种倒叙插叙看的略头疼。
民族需要英雄，国家需要守护，精气神不能丢，没了精气神，国家就真散了
演员的表演也是灾难级别的。
战争永远是可憎的 可是战士永远是值得尊敬的 不是为国家工作 是为国家服务 致敬
非常感人的主旋律电影，同时重现了15年的危机
爽点不够密，节奏太慢，几场打戏都很棒，故事有些小儿科了。挺可惜的。
真实事件改编 看的很过瘾 战斗场面不少 苏联解体那段看的人感慨万千 时代的更替 个人的选择 主人公从军校毕业 一路走来 最终践行了自己的誓言
一部拍成个鬼片，但是好歹有自己的东西，能让人往下看。二部纯粹辣鸡。墨迹到最后几个特技镜头结束，完全好莱坞模式。没情节没故事性，还要硬凑几个人说中国人和外国人都听不懂的“中国话”。这个IP彻底拍烂了。
我们只能拍点战狼，红海行动啥的，莫名的对手。抗美援朝也就是最近两年才能看到……
毕竟漫威片子也没一个严格讲基本规律的。
战熊的《壮志凌云》，武戏就不说了，绝对硬核。很多人说文戏弱，感觉并不弱，交错时空双线叙事交叉点赞！真实事件感人！有兴趣去了解下。
应该是第一次完成看完战斗民族的电影。总体来说不算好看，情节处理得很脱节和生硬，看完觉得，真不如就看看抖音截出来的那几个战斗戏，这才是全片的精华，其他大幅大幅的描述战斗前的平静生活和利益诱惑前的选择等等这些，有点难共情。另外就是主角从被伏击到跳伞到空中被射杀的过程处理得有点过于平平无奇了……还有落单深入敌后的士兵通过民用手机求救的曲折，感觉有点刻意在加戏。3分给战争场面，0分给剧情情节和演技
实话实说，战斗场面不咋地，但气势和情怀着实感染了我！
整体故事太主旋律了，有些许拉胯。
现代战争的高科技和海陆空的强强配合，三下五除二就干掉了。最后纸飞机飞旋天空，有些感到。这世上不该只有美国的英雄主义。
毛子太帅辣 SSO UPUPUP! 苏24也太帅辣
