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.
剧情还行，就是节奏太慢了。现在看哆啦A梦的大部分是成年人了，该与粉丝的成长俱进了。。
上一次院线我掏一次钱
以及满大街的老大哥…
相比大山版是改了不少，挺多大场面，那个反派Dorakoruru好帅，插入曲好像是[ココロありがとう]也挺好听的
可能是对童年动画片的期望太高的原因，对这部动画片一点好感都没有。
冒生命危险，肩负起本不属于自己的责任，会埋怨、会害怕、会哭泣会把自己蒙在被子里的小夫。
没什么亮点，没什么惊喜，和大部分剧场版都差不多，没啥特别之处。三分钟一段说教，五分钟一碗鸡汤，有些多了。
①本来就是一部童年动画，却非要意淫那些政治隐喻。什么民主自由，什么老大哥在看着你，什么独裁者，什么致敬一九八四。影射谁呢？哆啦A梦能有什么坏心思呢？②既然过了时间身体就会复原，大熊他们又何必费尽心思的去抢夺缩小灯呢？哆啦A梦的道具，它都不看操作说明的吗？匹里卡星的武器，轻松就被哆啦A梦等人摧毁。航空母舰能被坦克击退，上万辆无人机伤不着几个肉体凡胎的“巨人”。看上去牛逼哄哄，实际上不堪一击。想来匹里卡星的科技也没有太发达。就这还敢来地球嚣张？不得不说，经过几十年的传承，如今的哆啦A梦还不如熊出没好看。
大雄遇到了幼儿版神秘博士，跟他一起打倒老大哥，期间顺便看了一下进击的巨人和金刚
这么多年过去了，没想到哆啦A梦动画水准、剧情还是原地踏步。
看完了才想起来，小学时代看过这部的漫画，也许是成年以及阅片量的导致的阈值提高，小时候这部的反派给了我很大的压迫感，但是在电影院却觉得一般。(小仓鼠)
战斗戏不够爽啊，即便是巨大化那里真的很燃，但由于篇幅原因表现得还是稍微有些不尽人意。
特摄情怀+民运背景+科幻致敬，确实是这么多部翻拍哆啦A梦里最还原昭和风味的。问题就在于还原之余充满有心无力的感觉。前两幕冗长到令人发指，动作场面糊弄，道具0创新，比去年的新恐龙制作规格滑坡太多了
六一儿童节，快乐。
解封后影院看的第一部，汽车影院。我女儿看得很投入，我俩全程刷手机
2022.5.29 我以前最喜欢的剧场版之一啊！希望新版不要让我失望呀 和大卫 jb 金泽权一起来看 我本来的话肯定是昨天首映就来看的 但他们都没空只好买在今天了 昨天那么多活动都没享受到唉 其实还是老版的好看点 因为这部感觉比以前幼稚好多 感觉更低龄化了些 剧情倒是近乎一致的 也没什么好新奇的 就是外星人降到地球被追杀 后来决定帮助外星人夺回外星
剧情俗套，逻辑漏洞，好歹是出《1984》。
“你这个独裁者，只会用恐惧和虚伪统治大家。”
节奏有点快，无缘无故信任，扁平化，强行给小夫加戏。而且，这部片的台词真的可以说的吗？？？小孩子看个乐呵，大孩子看得心惊胆战的。
如坐针毡如芒刺背如鲠在喉，可谓我看过所有的哆啦A梦电影里最难看的一部，bug众多，让人不适以及想吐槽的点众多，列举部分：小夫仿佛精神分裂一样，整个人设从勇敢号召到胆小退缩一百八十度大转弯，与其平日的漫画形象也不符，这种江郎才尽强行制造人物性格矛盾的做法为人不解；“静香沐浴”似乎被提上主流“卖点”，有一种利用女性潜在性暗示画面来博取观众眼球的感觉，令人反感；星际正邪大战最后赢于侥幸，能让他们取胜的其实不是被放大和强调的团结和友情，而是一种“物竞天择适者生存”哲理下依靠自身肉体巨人力量压倒性扫除如蝼蚁的其他生物罢了，是肉体层面的胜之不武…唯一有感触的地方在于，我意识到人民其实无法依靠自身的“渺小”力量战胜压迫与独裁，这一点蛮悲哀的。
