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.
驱魔流程的地狱反套路，信念到底有没有底限，一窥而知。
好久没看这种片子了 电梯和酒店那两段看得我….
就，普普通通恐怖片，有几个突然出现的镜头符合我的口味
普普通通的惊悚片，有一些新意，但是没拍出亮点来
从英文语法上来讲可以翻译成驱神，从内容上来讲更应该这样翻译23333
15-079墨西哥《上帝的驱魔》
20220612 魔鬼点蜡烛画法阵向撒旦祈祷，将上帝从神父的体内驱逐，很有意思。可惜前面看睡了好几次。标题应该翻译成“驱逐上帝”，所以与魔鬼达成交易才能脱离基层是吗，上帝的选择都只能安排在最基层。
3。合格的驱魔片，有人性的鞭挞，宗教的虚伪
反向驱魔的脑洞比较奇特，演员很努力，特效一毛钱
很有新意的“驱魔”电影，一上来就是牧师被恶魔色诱，魔鬼扛着十字架，恶魔绑架牧师进行驱神仪式，人们相信的是结果不会在意过程，一念成佛一念成魔
物理驱魔可还行⊙▽⊙概念不错，剧情不足以支撑，有点无聊
一部对标招魂系列的作品，故事挺新的，应该会有续集出现 ! 这部剧比较大的问题是不太想搞笑，但是由于剧本原因有很多喜剧效果出来，稍显尴尬。
一部生猛+香艳的驱魔电影，一反常态驱魔的慢节奏，搞了个快节奏的驱魔仪式。最后恶魔驱逐上帝的创意不错，不过拍得有点差劲。7分
喜欢这种看着开心看完舒服的不用动脑的爱情小喜剧
相较于原著，电影还是改动了不少东西，不过整体高于我预期，男主真帅啊。
恶魔：那也得你先出来～
比常规恐怖片好一点点吧，但真是给我看乐了好几次
本片最大的亮点就是恶魔驱逐牧师心中的上帝这个设定，驱逐的过程，给我的感觉就是谁大声谁更有底气，谁就赢了。最后正不胜邪，牧师被附身。但除此之外，其他情节跟别的驱魔片差不多
不错的 一直害怕后面会崩 但还维持的挺不错 是那种会推荐给别人看的爱情轻喜剧 适合在放松休息时想看个恋爱片的情景看 6、7分吧 尤其在我看了好几部爱情烂片之后 这片真的感觉不错 编剧编的误会冲突等等都还算合理 除了没屋子必须住一间这个梗偶像剧里哈哈真的太常见了 台词也还不错 欢喜冤家虽然老套但用点心编还是会让人百看不厌 男女主身高差和打嘴炮火花十足啊 达西真的是完美伴侣啊 又被cue到了 男主演绎的这个强迫症性格加上他的身材 显得他很hot
场面极度邪典，甚至开始反思的正义性～
