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.
一部证明女性力量的电影，女主的力量就美，很喜欢这样不契合男性凝视的公主。最后瑕疵，付出了巨大努力的女人终于被父权“看到”才得到自己应有的东西，可谓讽刺至极。觉得暴力男可怜的，祝您早日穿越异世界，再见傲天。
金妹打起来还是有潜力可挖的，但情节太单薄了。
我是纯属看长颈鹿。无厘头的片子很配无厘头的光洙，原来他也是励志要成为海贼王的男人。特效还不错，毕竟2022年了，其他嘛，看个热闹而已。
如其叫非凡公主，不如光环公主更恰当，故事老套，公主无双拯救王国，打斗中规中矩，不难看也不出彩，就是除了公主和女配助手之外，其他国王王后等全是工具人无存在感，爆米花角度来说还行吧，至少我没有快进睇完！
6/10分动作片,抱歉我要打拳了,你给这片打多低分,理应就该给同样没剧情的男主爽片打多低分,尤其是有时男主爽片还一言不合谈冥恋,他女友也一言不合就在剧情上死绝了!
作为搞笑冒险类型的电影它成功了一半，画面也是上乘，可惜剧情和剪辑太差
從頭打到尾，動作戲還過得去，其實蠅量級的技巧再高也打不過重量級。
前面是真的拉垮，部分特效也是五毛，场景剧情不断闪切，主线故事不算复杂，无用支线太多，2小时的电影都做不到流畅推进剧情，是不是一开始邀请太多客串了，就随意写一些场景。P.S光洙就是换了个地方出演RM（5.9）
吵吵闹闹两个小时，最后一分钟，两对有情人终成眷属，气死一船单身男人——“(冒死)抢那么多黄金有什么用”。
从头打到尾，人狠话不多，遇见一个捶一个，这么勇猛的公主太爱了！！！
洗洗眼睛，看清事实：古早的美好爱情童话，才真正是屌丝男一步登天，迎娶白富美，获得权势金钱的狗血套路。
剧情仍是硬伤，前半小时还有点冒险犯难，潜水后大家集体智商下线，参杂背叛、暧昧、义气让人混乱不明，为何还有企鹅真心看不懂。
没剧情，一路打打打，从头打到尾，打斗不出彩也谈不上技巧，但亮点大概就是公主这个设定，不靠联姻，靠武力拯救王国。片荒期有部能看的就行，已经没高要求了
【主题/时代/背景】：6.2
反派强行下线…不过特效还不错，如果在影院看应该很爽
2.5 搞笑居多，李光洙真的太适合搞笑了 综艺挂，韩孝周憨憨的，综艺也是憨憨的
不知道的以为又是哪款游戏的真人大电影…怎么会有这么流水账的剧情…🙄️
想得挺好 力道不够 有些时候怀疑他们是不是曾经想拍成一镜到底
晋江爽文女主，亚洲面孔琳很美，不愧越南章子怡
这…姜河那韩孝周带不起来的剧情…还不如出差十五夜快乐
