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.
说实在的就是看看科幻镜头，剧情不是很清晰，后人类怎么形成的，没说清楚，怎么那么厉害！最后那个凭空消失的德古沙打来的电话意味着啥？一轮红日感觉是世界末日！
杀了一个又一个，谎话太多圆不下去，好友一号背锅自杀扔无济于事，原来好友二号才是幕后大魔王，出卖了他还想上他老婆。就这么简单，讲那么久干嘛？
前半个小时铺垫第一场意外发生的前奏很漂亮，而到一个人的意外成为三个人的意外这之间的转折都足够荒诞又惊心动魄，“一定要守护这座岛”在反复出现之后形成根深蒂固的咒语，但既然是咒语就只能被段术更高的符法来解除封印，而不是变成是由科学的手段来更张。结尾直接反转成个体之私作恶的力量，等于是把前面这场乌托邦实验的数据结果都直接擦掉了，诞生无花果的这片土地不再具有恶之花的宿命性。
正义和复仇的题材，连姆老爹没有硬撑主角光环，就像他自己所说的他累了，要退休了。俗套又没有那么俗套，故事总体挺好的。
1）只要火力够，坦克在现代遭遇战中就是个累赘(没有打不破的反应装甲)，是以无人机、无人装甲车、无人隐性战机为配置的火力群；
会有几人？
開頭的感覺不錯，但後半段劇情的走向蠻無言的...不喜歡。如神木演的警員說的，隱瞞果然是不好的，一開始坦誠好好報警就沒事了。搞那麼複雜幹嘛了，重點還拍那麼悶..何必呢
网飞的动画，建模动作比较粗糙，素子的脸偏妖媚，故事还行。
看到结尾稍微不那么愤怒了一点。电影里大概有四十分钟的长度是被没有意义的动作戏浪费掉的，哲学讨论和解谜的内容少得可怜。
属实不能理解这个故事后面的反转，理由倒是有，埋线不足…有点硬凑的意思….不过人物病态扭曲的心理倒是表现的很充分，比如镇长，看着就不适
没有想象的好看，本来是冲着演员阵容看的，到头来悬疑感也不够，紧张感也不够。故事的落点居然是这样的情感，我更希望就是排外自封扭曲到底，前半段那样不是蛮好的，哎
几个主演，松山研一从头到尾一个表情，藤原龙也比他好点，神木也还行吧。黑木华最好。。。
拿钱干活，但是这个单我不接！连姆老了，不但是耳鬓斑白，身形也略有佝偻，但是老虎不发猫你当我病危？所以，营救还得继续，看这个想起了休杰克曼的金刚狼，无敌的我只能被年龄打败！
老屋的困兽。杀手的暮年。加一星给疲态的老爹。
开局觉得够悬疑，岂料后面的剧情想吃屎了一样
给男主的多一分，给剧中几个警察的努力多一分，给结局的爽快多一分！！
英雄迟暮，美人白头！ 看见连姆·尼森 日渐迟缓的动作， 莫妮卡·贝鲁奇 那僵硬的表情，深深的感觉一种沧桑感。剧情苍白，动作场面也不是很火爆。不推荐收藏了。
跟小女孩的感情铺垫弱了点,但是这波操作我给满分,整体悬疑性还是很给力的
可能是期望越大，失望越大？觉得不过瘾……一想到很长时间才知道连姆尼森就是当年的“辛德勒”，就有点不能原谅自己……
前面还行，后部分开始崩坏。“我们一定要守护这座岛啊”大家被这句话整疯魔了。时隔十五年《死亡笔记》组合情怀杀，我还是喜欢L
