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.
最后一段打戏是真的舒服，年度打戏top1。隔壁《灰影人》投资两亿美元，还不如人家这几分钟。
依然是以暴制暴的爽片，依然是第一部的故事模式-马叔对决狂气杀人魔，依然是“涉外”题材，故事背景转换到越南胡志明市，韩国黑帮绑架杀人，再偷渡回韩国继续恩怨情仇。当然中国也不能避免被黑，贡献了两个同伙、一个线人和一群白给的三合会。江海尚的纹身是“不惧戴天”吗？神乐的怨刀？（误）
设计精巧 剧情逻辑合理地运用了地缘人物的性格，胖老板（美国人）教父一般附庸风雅地重感情、里奇（儿子）愣头青没头脑、弗朗西斯（准接班人）功夫在身权力驱使谋略稚嫩、拉芳丹（黑人）天然地对白男人强权有抵触、梅布尔（FBI）借机串联里奇获情报。把人物行动安排合理又是依据其个性使然 而英国人“魔鬼从天花板上掉下来，我都不吃惊！”
简介有误，都说几遍了 I'm not a tailor, I'm a cutter.
7分。超英vs暴匪、动作+喜剧，韩国市场对这类题材已经打造高度成熟的流水线。只要反转逻辑能自洽，剧情不拉胯，剪辑无尿点，配乐较得当，就没什么槽点了。下饭菜，看的爽，吃嘛嘛香，哈利路亚！
没看出来是个喜剧片啊，剧情简单粗暴得跟胖子的打法一样，体重压制就完事了，这片倒是打开了体型胖一点的女演员的思路，增加敏捷度我看拍这种打斗片肯定好看。
类似希区柯克《夺魂索》式密闭空间悬疑片，只有西服店一个场景，整体总共应该有三次大反转，小反转很多。又有点像黑泽明《用心棒》，义士用言语来挑拨邪恶势力自相残杀。不过最后那个反转实在流俗，隐世高手什么的就很俗，像柯南伯格《暴力史》的后转。
《套装》很像希区柯克的《夺魂索》或波兰斯基的《杀戮》，封闭空间内来回穿梭，桌子底下有个大炸弹，一直维持着悬疑张力。《套装》并非完美无缺，虽然编织精巧，但受限于逼仄场景，无法展现真实黑帮氛围，很难想象一个纵横芝加哥的黑帮就这么几条枪几个人，在连续剧里挺不过前两集。故事也有些不合理之处，伦纳德下了盘超级复杂的大棋，但很多环节都在碰运气，里奇的中枪和弗朗西斯出门找播放设备不太可能事先预料到。
三星半，很纯粹的悬疑电影，一切都发生在裁缝店内，没有花里胡哨的大场面，就是一个看似畏畏缩缩的老头最终扳倒所有人的故事，其实不算很超出意料，但马克·里朗斯的演技真的让电影更上一层楼。
前面都很精彩，悬念重重层层反转，不过最后的揭秘我有点没看明白，全是裁缝策划的？他卧薪尝胆多年布局，挑起两个帮派的争端对自己有什么好处？而且每一步都需要运气成分，有点太巧了
你一开始就会知道老头肯定是大佬，但估计很难想到他是大佬中的大佬，通过本片深入复习了一遍博弈论和三国杀的内奸之道。小小空间里的各方角色博弈全是满满的戏剧张力。
一如既往地干！往死里干！马东锡10年终于混出来了！看到的是重拳出击，估计也得上百磅吧？忽然想起之前说泰森和成龙打，谁会赢？泰森的拳头好像有几百磅吧，一头牛都能干死，别说人了。在绝对力量面前什么套路都是白搭！马东锡加油啊
爽脆的打戏，小匕首噗噗戳人如戳瓜，小砍刀刀刀像切菜。马东锡还是发挥稳定的逼斗之王，一拳就让人丧失战斗力，反派在性格上和上一部一样冷酷无情，但是却性感了一大截。简直就是这两年看过最辣的反派。结尾一击让人大呼过瘾
但让知名演员出演这个主角的弊端是，很容易猜到他不简单，无论怎么反转都觉得他能化险为夷，失去不少紧张感。
前有黄政民李政宰《从邪恶中拯救我》泰国大战，再到《犯罪都市2》马东锡孙锡久越南大战，留给韩国演员的东南亚国家不多了。张谦蛋已不在江湖，江湖还留有他的传说。韩国这类商业片拍得纯熟，每次都有一个十足疯逼的反派，这是最重要的。
真的太喜欢这种完全靠情节，表演烘托的室内戏了，强烈建议翻拍一版武侠的
非常精彩，剧情几度反转，全部都是在一个房间里完成
看到一半影评就来找资源，不想被剧透。终于看完啦，演员演技在线，故事情节转折多，呈现方式老派精致。很喜欢。不过最后的结局可能期望太高也没有太意外，女助理有些没想到。
I am not a tailor，I am a cutter.
②马东锡小可爱也彻底变成了“一拳超人”，仿佛是在往巨石强森方向发展，各种拳头与巴掌虽然看着很有压迫感，然而缺乏势均力敌的对手，动作戏自然也就毫无爽点，也没啥动作设计可言；
