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.
3.5。文字引用+真实采访+虚构故事，相当私人相当惬意相当孤独的一部电影，只是不明白为什么翻译成这个片名，和内容完全不搭。
全方位舒适的一部电影。和华叔上一部电影截然不同。应该是我2021的最佳电影了。太喜欢了，是一部有分寸，模糊，细腻的片子。
有点《爱丽丝城市漫游记》的味道，但是更重情感方面的东西
"I'll remind you of everything."结尾这句话提醒了我父母的另一个角色，父母是孩子每一个时期的见证者，父母像储物柜，储藏了孩子那么多珍贵的回忆，在孩子长大后得以娓娓道来。不要用孩子的眼光看待孩子，也不要用大人的眼光看待孩子，孩子的思想同样深沉，同样细腻，孩子和大人思想的唯一区别大概是孩子不一定会记得，父母的作用在这里凸显出来。珍视孩子的每一个想法，它们并不幼稚，没有人永远是大人，也没有人永远是孩子。大人和孩子的界限真的那么清晰吗？
{★★★} 比Belfast更浓的糖水黑白片，加了更多糖的直接结果是，确实变得更好看了。它的重点是在生活差错与辈分隔阂中无效交流的个体们，这部电影试图寻找一种间接的纽带，例如访谈或角色扮演，将他们重新绑系起来。但随之而来的也有独立电影中寻常的宽泛与保守，我们真的需要这种没有触及到任何痛处的类亲子故事吗？舒适，且没有余韵。
分不清真实的边界在哪，可控的范围在哪，崩溃的握拳时机在哪。就是生活。
坐飞机去荷兰的时候我很浮躁，只看得进猫和老鼠。坐飞机回来的时候心特别静，看了这个决定特别舒服，好看，看到演职员表都走完。觉得世界不是太难呆下去的地方了。
8.0/10 平平淡淡，像溪水一般无意识地缓缓流淌，全片展示的就是一段两人自然相处的时光，温暖，有趣，平和。/ 生活中发生的，改变的那些种种，何不是潜移默化渗透进来的呢。那些对于生活一次又一次的错误的预计之后的那段‘C’mon, C'mon, C'mon’, 希望是带着笑说的吧～/ 采访对白都好好玩嘻嘻，很真挚～/ 片中一切都好美～大概因为观影时心很平静吧～老文艺片effect了哈哈
谢谢你陪我一起面对，i will remind u all the time
- "Yeah, you'll barely remember this. You'll have, like,a few blurry memories of this whole trip."
人说的不都是废话吗
任何型男老了都变成暖男，杰昆亦如是，在表现慈父感和为了和孩子好好相处的各种细节真的是分寸太好，好演员果然经得起任何角色。电影里老少互动的和谐感，黑白片的质感也超好。
整体情绪仍旧是平静温和
“emmm”
某个晚上cdx来家里kanwan
黑白色彩看的人很难受，这种题材彩色会更好看，没必要为了文艺选择黑白。
一部关于倾听、领会、回馈、倾诉的电影。黑白、低锐度的表象引向纷呈的内心色彩。用相互的凝视获得自我了解，当对方是孩子时，更能帮你打开茧缚。影像的钝感看得有点累，沟通不是轻松事。
想起小时候暑期去表姐所在的城市，哪怕我只是跟在她屁股后面去散步都很开心。
整个过程看得我抓耳挠腮恨不得进去打熊孩子一顿，完全惯坏了
很温馨很沉闷的片子，采集到的声音真好听啊，但是滤波得到的信号就是真实的吗？
