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.

本作更像同期上映的那个哈利波特周年回忆特别节目，算是一种“整活整大了的艺术人生特别节目”。其实新版满嘴骚话的墨菲斯可以开发个剧集。不过能在银幕上再次看见男女主黄昏恋也可以了，总之粉丝向太明显了这片子，对普通观众太不友好
（什么一出现在电影里大家就觉得受什么委屈了 那什么都别拍了 碟中谍也别炸克林姆林宫了 那个国家拍别的文化的东西没偏见 多正常的）
不能算是差，主要是前作太优秀。这一部带来的负面冲击可能需要看三遍第一部才能缓过来。
剧本写的……太太太傻……，女导演自编自导....可惜好演员……wyz那段很傻…

确实能感觉到拉娜的创作状态挺放松的，很多都是以近乎恶搞的方式在拍。好莱坞机制中的行为艺术。
没有了袁和平的武指，动作场面基本没法看，特效和前作比又显得太粗糙，剧情说得太直白也失去了很多乐趣，
纯粹贩卖情怀，因为制片觉得现在随便拍一部都能死赚（制片可能是对的），然后遭殃和犯恶心的总是我们这种认真的电影迷们。。。（谢谢豆瓣里的大伙儿一直给出非常中肯，合理及符合逻辑和精确审美的评分）
确实是要静下心来看的片子，也难怪大家觉得扑街。
能把黑客帝国拍得这么无聊也是一种能力，去看看隔壁《赛博朋克2077》，都比这强
Love is the genesis of everything (不要拍了谢谢🙏)
当然most厉害的character当然is阿祖啦，chinese英混杂的language给人feel非常odd但又ridiculous呢。
什么跟什么嘛！要不是乔纳森的suits湿身play，真难看下去。
相见不如怀念，一部不是大片的影片，但也能让我们回到黑客帝国的世界里，见一见熟悉的老朋友
我们还在讲我们一直讲的故事，这次连人物和剧情都懒得去换。
MM IMAX厅。高于预期，和前作比，在故事层面拍得挺烂的，叙事剪辑和动作戏透着狗尾续貂的拙劣，但在续集的命题里，几乎劫持了“自反”来再次迷惑观众，在直给“黑客4怎么做”的同时，企图用传统电影的叙事再道高一丈，也算失败得毫无保留了，让人看清沃卓斯基，确实就是最炫夜店风的底色，加上对鲍德里亚、漫游仙境和功夫、动漫的读后感，在前作的投影前模仿着前作，是影片最佳场景，成功也是一种Matrix，吸取着idea，全片弥漫着“我不相信了，但我还有爱”的疲惫，就有了点真实的丧感。怎么说呢，电影工业的衰落，把导演逼成了同人。PS最后取景的Simulatte咖啡馆，好像在和约翰威尔逊的十万个怎么做里也出现过。
开始还是蛮期待的，算是诺兰弟和老婆Lisa在准备西部世界下一季期间的side project，还有来自诺兰一直合作的休杰克曼以及西部世界的诸多熟面孔比如两位老鸨，但是故事真的太弱了，末日反乌托邦设定就是个摆设，一点没有融入剧情中，女主所谓神秘的背景却以温情和道德的面膜收场，very cliché了。Lisa姐果然是男性直男审美毫无女性意识的创作者，不看好
当追求艺术的梦想家遇上只想赚钱的商人 不是只有matrix里才有bots / 千万不要错过最后的彩蛋 / 有三部曲的影子在 但是也看得出主创并没有认真对待 华纳可能看了年度报表发现赚得不多 看看自家IP还有什么可以挖点钱 结果拍么要拍的 逼逼叨叨一大堆 一点创作自由都没有 谁会认真拍 所以还是网飞好 直接给钱 想拍什么都行 不过太烧钱的项目就算拍得好也是会被毙掉的 sigh 又是想念sense8的一天 / the matrix&sense 8: LOVE is the most important thing in the world
这是neo和trinity的同人文 it s enough for a tv movie i guess
