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.
演技太糟糕了，这是戴安娜嘛？无时无刻不让人想起她演过的琼杰特，爆发时刻，崩溃时刻，乃至歪嘴笑的时刻。戴安娜王妃哪有这样缩脖子猥琐颈的体态？王室成员该有的仪态都不对。
电影旨在表现王妃痛苦压抑的心理境况，这给演员提供了非常大的表演空间，也非常考验演员演技，但小K的表演给我的感觉是她在非常努力地演却始终难以让我共情，不过这份努力还是值得鼓励的
由情绪构成的影片，一点都不客观不冷静，某种程度上也考验观众对人物真实历史的了解程度，但是即使不了解背景，不理解里面一些内容，也能被影片的呈现（小K的表演、音乐）很好的带入情绪之中，传递到位，质感佳。看到黛安娜走进围猎场要带儿子走那里，一下就哭出来了，美人可怜，爱、笑、勇气多么可贵。
期待的是脱离刻板印象和小报花边新闻的Diana，但剧本创作竟然加深了这种对Diana的刻板印象，看完后感觉不太舒服。另外小k和chanel都很美，绿木的配乐加分。
话说，斯宾塞是我英文名SPENCER。
小k拿影后！（不管怎么样，KFC和羽绒服已经赢了
被画框，建筑和线条禁锢住的王妃，被节奏性声响和配乐冲击的戴安娜，她每一次喘息和痛感的官能体验，都是以「斯宾塞」之名完成的自由出走。在身体感知如何回应空间桎梏的意义上与《闪灵》异曲同工，小K比想象的要好很多。最后说一下，并不太认同和Anne Boleyn的互文。
做作的姿态和面部表情，气声凶巴巴的台词，她的糟糕演技支撑不了这个角色，观影每一分钟都很煎熬。看任何版本的戴妃都是喜爱和同情，只有这一版，想伸手进屏幕揪住她的衣领大喝：贱人就是矫情。
对戴妃了解不够，不过影片为了制造冲突只选取其对家族的回望来与对皇室的抗争做对比，还是有些不尽如人意。如蒙上一层迷雾般低对比度的画面，大概是戴妃的真实内心世界了吧。
戴安娜之所以被称为人民的王妃应该有很多原因，其中一个大概是因为她的痛苦人民最能够想象和共情。高度风格化的影像和配乐，搭建起一个极具电影感和戏剧性的舞台，人物被困于牢笼的逼仄感以及皇室荒谬又无处不在的重压，都在这个舞台上被生动有力的呈示出来。开场部队进场的段落太精彩，融反讽于无形，用服饰串联冲突亦可算巧思，女王和男管家等次要人物的设计和展现也不错。但全片最明显也是根本性的问题，就是对于绝对中心戴安娜的人物定位和推动方式缺乏可信度和贯通性，人物一上来就已经是濒临崩溃的女人，让电影从始至终被笼罩在过于强烈和反复的情绪之下，而且类似利用安妮·博林进行对比映照的塑造方式也过于直白和陈旧了，这一切都让小K卖力演出的这个人物并没能成为这部传记电影的重量和核心，只是成为了其中最大的一个符号。整体三星半。
倒觉得不必拿来和《第一夫人》作比。Jackie的动力来自幕与幕之间流转的讲述的动力，这种不顾剪辑时序和影像“真伪”的讲述不断地将观众推远，并将自身呈示为一尊宛如Citizen Kane般的形象，历史的形象。她最后甚至在“批改”记者的笔记，谁能说电影就不是被“批改”的结果呢。《斯宾塞》则在大量按部就班的推轨中抻长对历史的厌倦，以至于要将扮演Spencer的KS兜一大圈再还原成KS，它宣称历史是“需要”被扮演的——却是为了更好地返回现在。是自洽的但……这有什么表达的意义和必要吗？一种死去的电影，用角色的话说就挺currency的吧。
竭力强化这座豪宅各处各人各物的机械性，结果只是让我感到情节与配角的僵硬，佣人语焉不详的提醒，被缝上的窗帘，乃至幽灵与幻觉的出现都刻意得理所当然。
颓是真颓 美也是真美 从服装到构图调色都有种不真实的美感 奶黄色调 像油画 配乐也是蓝调 虽然知道戴妃的种种矛盾心理 但还是觉得小K演的矫情 看起来是锦衣华服 其实里面空虚腐烂 被繁文缛节捆绑 说的也是皇室吧
穿婚纱的那个镜头里，小k美到我傻眼。怎么说呢，居然跟王妃共情了，这不就是最近上班如坐牢的我吗？？？
1.不清不楚的背景身世，讲不清前因后果无法构成合理的人物行为逻辑
要用三天的短暂时间线轻巧地揭开黛安娜压抑孤独的婚后生活，需要主角非常绵密细腻的心理表现，小K的表现起码90分以上。我猜豆瓣分应该不会匹配烂番茄的，看中国吃瓜群众有多共情王室痛恨梅根就知道了😅
虽然看得出来kk尽力了，但看她演戏还是永远一直费劲的感觉哈哈哈哈哈，这就是每个国家花旦的命运吗
且不说王冠珠玉在前，并不是每个观众都熟读并背诵英国皇家那些事儿的好吗？上来就指望观众共情是不是太贪心了/色调好舒服
所幸摘下珍珠项链后，所有的封印被解开，人物爆发出的生机活力也足够动人。她说爱她的片刻，在短暂的震惊后看见她们相视而笑，会突然记起鲜活的人应该是怎样的。
KS演什么都像她自己，why always扭来扭去？
