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.
三星半。差点被男主的颜值劝退，但真的有超过预期，somehow也能理解为什么选这个男主，的确身手了得，bus上打戏很到位了。还有很喜欢Awkwafina，真是有趣的灵魂。清一色亚裔主演的漫威电影，一大半都是中文对白，很激动人心了。ps：谁能帅过梁朝伟呢！！！
没想到十环竟然就是洪家铁线拳，没想到最后竟然还有一场怪兽大战（我以为那个两头都是屁股的萌物会起点作用，可惜这货只是来卖萌的，毫无作用），没想到尚气的妹妹竟然是香港顶级女演员李华月演的
确定片尾曲不来首猜你死说唱？真的挺像，别猜，会死。
我是土狗我爱看！好看！越看越顺眼，另一个宇宙的山海经好评！
不能说难看，只能说毫无新意——西方可真爱弑父这个题材；倒是动作场面的确不错，整部电影与其说是拍给我们看的，不如说是拍给游离于双重文化的abc——从这个角度来看，就有意思多了。当然，最离谱的肯定是杨紫琼对着刘思慕说你长得真像陈法拉。P.S.女性几乎承担了片子一大半的功能性角色。
尚气这片我今儿看了，非常好看啊。零辱华，不但不辱华，我还觉得咱中国人很屌。不但本宇宙中国人屌，平行宇宙中国人也屌。男主气宇轩昂结实有力，眉宇间像个大国领导，骑着龙就把世界拯救了。另外最牛逼的是，我发现尚气人设是出生在中国河南！我靠，居然能有一个河南籍漫威宇宙超级英雄！想想就觉得超级自豪，希望早日引进，老乡们都能去感受一下。我想给五星好评中不中啊？
观影经验非常奇妙，凯蒂一个人值两星。这个女孩子很灵动，聪明，敢于追求，侠肝义胆，车开得行云流水，而且古灵精怪。越看越喜欢。她长了一张普普通通的脸，但不妨碍她可爱。反容貌焦虑的样板。
观感意外很好，流畅也很完整。后半段比起漫威宇宙可能更适合哥斯拉怪兽宇宙。纪念时隔20个月第一次进影院，我太怀念这种下班后立刻往影院冲的感觉了。
我觉得还可以啊，打抖场面很牛逼。虽然文戏很拉胯，但是看漫威电影，谁看文戏啊。。。
我一直抱着很宽容的心态去看待欧美对于华人角色的选角，但是奥卡菲娜是真心get不到她的美……剧情的话实在无法恭维，好莱坞始终还是逃离不了“我是你爸爸”这个梗啊。杨紫琼我记得在《银河护卫队》饰演另外一个角色打过酱油，这是说明漫威的多元宇宙开始布局了？
不知道你们法师有没有见过真正存在于东方世界里面的魔法
哇又被影评骗了这哪里是一个弑父的故事。
笑死我了！漫威在“东方皮”里搞了个弑父的文本，而且男主认祖归宗认的还是母系氏族，谁看了不说一声好家伙哈哈哈哈。比想象中要好，尤其是各种城市太空背景看厌了，突然搞个农家乐（？）还蛮新奇的。不过我真觉得这个故事往纳尼亚传奇/神奇动物的方向走，比跟主世界超英混有趣得多。反正“人”的部分也就那样了，不如多看看动物。
三点五分吧，我觉得是比较合格的漫威英雄片并且融入了蛮多东方元素，且并没有生硬的感觉。中文对白非常多也能看出诚意所在，也尽量的避免触碰国人的点。可惜我们怕被乳怕到自负自卑，第一个华人英雄就被损成了这样，有必要吗。

一个父母辈的爱情故事罢了。从来没见过如此弱化主角的电影，漫威真的全程都在炫耀请了梁朝伟。尚气人均黑魂玩家，最终boss是巡礼蝶状态的埃尔德利奇。
动作设计不错，梁朝伟也够范儿。但每一场文戏都显得那么廉价敷衍。演员确实是选错了，没有一点超级英雄的气质。一些关键情节的逻辑转折也是不痛不痒，本金斯利就为了给钢铁侠3拨乱反正，强行安排一堆无聊的戏份，最后连个交代也没有。中英文切换看似很自然，实际存在许多模糊的表述，比如桃源里的人（杨紫琼陈法拉）为什么就会说英语了？到头来杨还是普通话最烂的那一个。
故事有点一般，不是特别好看。很意外发现梁朝伟那么细腻的演技在西方style的电影里竟然有点格格不入。
⑤武打动作+音乐很棒
像真人版功夫熊猫，还是三部融合在一起的功夫熊猫。配乐出色打戏扎实，英语普通话交错也有点fresh off the boat的搭配感。如果这都是乳化那建议好莱坞可以放弃拍任何有关中国的电影，如果大陆电影院上映那一定会去影院再支持。
