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.
华纳不会拍电影可以不拍，这部神奇动物在哪里是什么垃圾狗屎啊，给这五年看过的烂片列个排行榜它一定名列前三。格林德沃想上位竟然靠的他妈是选举，当着现场直播的面用钻心剜骨一群人屁都不敢放一个，纽特上来质疑的竟然是他妈格林德沃操纵了选举，这个结果是假的！然后一群人才敢拿魔杖指着他。好家伙这是部讽刺西方现实的现实主义电影是吧，只要程序正义就行了是吧我踏马吐了。
这个系列越来越差了，逻辑稀碎，神奇动物也没有几只（麒麟挺可爱）。已经进入20世纪了，魔法世界选举，还玩大楚兴陈胜王这套。我以为毁掉血盟像毁掉魔戒那么困难，结果说碎就碎了。诶，也就离婚现场能看看。
女主代孕，快生的时候说唐氏综合征，美国夫妇跑了。女主扛着未婚、生育、宗教的压力生了下来。孩子没事，养到4岁，美国夫妇又回来要带走孩子……
很多印度电影，总会基于社会现象来发觉故事，然后在故事中融入丰富的情感来打动人心，然后在又在无形中教育公众像是输入好的价值观。
米有了孩子，明星梦也放下了。
邓布利多的谜不配有字幕？就让它成为永远的谜吧
结尾美国夫妻放弃了打官司
点子不错 执行的不好 主要问题在剧本上 人物转折人物困境都用台词表现 真正重要的情节却糊弄了 很一般
带有喜剧氛围的印度电影，从题材设定， 故事内容，演员表现各方面来看，是一部很棒的电影。
我最不能理解的是
女人从婴儿期开始就被反复告知，她们来到这个世界上就是为了生儿育女。她们被灌输“母性的光辉”，母亲把孩子带到这个世界上的“非凡荣耀”可以压倒她所有的缺点。来自女性主义有什么用的灵魂拷问。
女主备孕期间改装成好友的msl亲戚，然后中介司机装成他的丈夫，监视她每天给胎儿锻炼😂司机还蛮有良心的，质问白人夫妇你们不能处理孩子，那个女孩又怎么处理孩子。结局处理还好，白人夫妇领养了个印度女孩回美国了🇺🇸我记得之前新闻报道不是白人特别喜欢来领养亚裔女孩吗。。。
后半段升华了，伦理困境，看似圆满解决，但终究不代表合理合法，婴儿不是玩具，只是说明生者养者为母非亲生也可为母，后续的成长得不到保障就不会这么圆满了，这种风险最后都由弱者和其所处的社会承担。
麦叔演技太好了，太适合演反派了，下车去人群中感受欢呼那段我真的大呼带感，开头结尾ggad也嗑死我了，因为麦叔我真的喜欢第三部甚至超过第一部！！！ 最后十分钟真的很虐，我不由地想起在看哈利波特时候魔法世界的历史，邓布利多最伟大的成就，战胜格林德沃。阿不思啊，真的好孤独啊。
女孩为了养活这个跟自己没有血缘关系的孩子，将长久坚持的梦想抛之脑后，为了突出母爱而放弃个人理想，这价值观转变太快让观众对女主恨铁不成钢。
不明白印度这种国情为啥不把这种电影拍得现实些，喜剧元素可以稍微少些
上一部废话了两个多小时点了个锅炉，这一部废话了两个多小时来了个“爱人再见”。大卫耶兹是不是便秘严重呀？要不然为啥他的电影就像一个屎意汹涌但就是拉不出来的倒霉蛋？还有JK罗琳的剧本，毫无逻辑到没有一个角色在干人事儿，中间整了这么多烟雾弹，之后就是一个麒麟争夺战，情节真的一团乱麻。这两个人真的是靠情怀又划水了一部。鬼知道这个系列究竟在讲啥！
为什么我们仍然相信所有的女人都必须生孩子，而做母亲才是女性真正的唯一使命呢？难道是老天不允许有阴道的人另有打算，比如创业，成为世界级运动员或竞选总统？
及格的。但是大反派居然追求民主程序上位，笑死。
它的难看在于，过去的哈利、赫敏、罗恩是依靠智慧以及善良、正直和勇敢，来解决黑暗问题和渡过考验，但是本片把关键依赖于麒麟（一个神兽图腾所代表的虚无，戏份不多），这无疑拆解了本属于主角的光环，阿不思、纽特和他的几个神奇动物朋友或多或少成了工具人。另外，视听没有特色，作为第三部，它本已步入新阶段，原本不该再重点展示奇观，可镜头的运动，音乐的使用，还在习惯性渲染场面，没有重点描画深层次的文戏和表演，让我的观影体验变得又无趣又漫长。
