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.
比音乐剧版少了些张力，出彩的变装店主故事基本砍光。因为是电影，歌舞自然更精致，比如和老师斗舞的光影设计就很惊艳。但终归来说电影版平淡很多，能嗨起来的地方几乎没有，比较可惜。
就是感觉立意挺好的，但是剧情撑不起这个立意，男女主压根儿也没有展现什么火花，然后附身的情况下也没有什么引人入胜的点，唯一可取的就是最后的动作戏，整段动作确实行云流水，韩国动作电影看来确实超越了咱们了，不过最后结尾整来一帮杀马特炮灰，主角完成反杀之后也没有解决什么问题。总结一句话，名不副实的电影
设定还行
在自己所能把握的范围内尽情地展现，不自吹自擂，不傲慢无礼，这样的“做自己”的价值观传达是感受到了，不过剧情的生硬反转也感受到了。就当其为同志歌舞小品吧，整体无伤大雅。
挺紧张刺激的，就扯了点，反派也突然神经质造反，一直以为男主是河正宇
下载看的，开场相当惊艳，充满悬疑，后面就开始不合情理，凭什么就这么几个人换来换去要是换到死的咋办！还有什么鬼东西，竟然灵魂还能根据看到的人跑来跑去，完全没逻辑，凑合看看吧。。。
比想象中好看埃，都在说拍砸了看得出原版舞台剧有多优质，其实这部和埃文汉森我都挺喜欢的我笑死。
最梦幻的就是片头里“这一切都是真实发生的事情，我们只是加上了歌舞” 😢
韩国编剧又突破了，灵魂乱窜，进入节奏太慢，打斗不过瘾！
没看惯歌舞剧。爱s妈妈和导师了。导师部分真的超级slay！！！
韩国人太自卑了，每次拍电影都要夸张到极致，还硬生生的把每一分钟都塞得满满的，生怕观众不知道大韩是宇宙级的，看朴赞郁看红尚秀也一样，都是极端份子！了色的很啊！
想象力还是很丰富的，让男主的灵魂脱离身体，每隔12个小时就进入另一个人的身体，而这些人正是知法犯法侵害他和女友的同事。影片借灵异的情节表达了要维护正义正确价值观，细思极恐的是隐喻了现实社会的黑暗，毕竟片中的灵异事件在现实里不会发生，所以如果事情真的发生在现实社会里，那么男主和女友以及前面调查到事件真相的同事，大概率就是遇害了，而他那些知法犯法贩毒的同事则还在逍遥法外。所以无力之余，只能寄希望于灵异事件来反转。影片多数镜头仍让男主饰演被他“上身”的人物，仅仅靠一个特写镜头做交代，所以看着感觉很混乱，如果直接让所有被“上身”的演员来演男主，效果会更好。
Jamie真的好美！！只是同志音乐剧可能不是我的菜
由#尹启相# 、#朴龙宇# 、#林智妍# 主演的电影《灵魂脱离者》确定将于11月24日上映。 电影《灵魂脱离者》(导演尹在根）讲述失去记忆每12小时从他人身体中醒来的处于奇异状况的男人寻找真相的故事。
韩国影视行业挺卷的 一个简单的动作片整这些花里胡哨的
开始还不错，最后烂尾了。女主太让人调戏了，拍多了那种片，演动作片也总让人想起那种场面。男主还是犯罪都市让人恨。
一种俗套励志青春片换上了LGBT外衣的感觉
如果没有看过舞台版，就给满分了。这才是最好的学校教育吧，建议每个学生，都看上几轮。
3.5分。之前看了剧情简介和某短评，我也以为本片就是《内在美》的黑色动作版，但看了后发现完全不同。《内在美》里灵魂穿越基本就是主旨，探讨的就是内在外在究竟哪个重要的问题；而本片中，灵魂穿越只是让故事更复杂多元的一个设定。倒是也有相同点：不管外表变成谁，我都只爱你一个嘿嘿。故事其实挺有趣的，最后那场打戏也的确很有John Wick的风采，不过整体来说还是个有点偏平庸的商业片了，本来可以更精彩的。
拍的什么玩意？jamie唱的也不行，演的也一般，女老师的work of are唱的也很弱，舞台表现也没有那么强。整个舞台能看出来想要弄艺术流，剪辑和特效还搞得不错的。
