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.
吴京把我看伤了；已经连续两天在银幕上见证黄轩嘎嘣死掉了；徐峥的单元透着一种“囧”式浮夸；沈腾拍的是快乐星球续集吧。（章子怡是最好的，在宏大的命题里抓到了细微的感情）
Ana太惊艳了，有当年Eva出场时的感觉，依然是制作精良，动作场面很大，摄影很好，剧本普通，这次告别了，为邦德的谢幕加一星，to James Bond
吴京篇感觉最一般，手法很baby。徐峥篇画面非常韦斯安德森，沈腾篇立意最好，章子怡篇情感很好。
生命是用来燃烧的东西 死亡是验证生命的东西
30/9/2021 @ 英皇iSquare IMAX。 1. Daniel Craig的完美謝幕，從沒想過看007會看哭 // 2.)Daniel Craig這次真的老了，尤其是IMAX上更明顯 // 3. 故事牽涉前4集的眾多角色，所以入場最好重溫一下 // 4. 也因為故事重點是Bond為各種恩怨情仇作個了斷，所以奸角方面就可惜了Rami Malek // 5. Ana de Armas太搶戲了！！
章>=徐 >> 吴~=沈。 章和徐可以4星，吴沈一人扣一星，王菲片尾曲再加一星

看的点映，不能评分不太公平吧，除了吴磊让人跳戏，其余都好。最好的是章子怡那段。
看的点映，只能给7分，吴京和徐峥的还不错，章子怡的差强人意，沈腾当导演还是稚嫩了点
122号。最喜欢沈腾的，感觉他瘦了好多是不是p图了哈哈哈哈，依旧是开心麻花招牌的笑着开始哭着结束，结局真是没想到…
听了王菲的《如愿》来看的，第二部因为音乐而看的电影。 可惜王菲的音乐才是最亮的点。 | 章子怡《诗》> 吴京《乘风》> 徐峥《鸭先知》> 沈腾《少年行》。章子怡情绪还可以再放开些，比如被问爸爸去哪里时候是否可以有瞬间的红眼圈？目前稍微太冷静了点；吴京的那段来自真实故事，用血肉对抗机械太惨烈了；徐峥的稍微有点尬，特别车上父子广告那段。很多场景也只好骗骗外地人，我这上海人看着就不像。沈腾那段我就不说啥了，感觉并不切和主题 | 感谢父辈们的燃烧，握你们的手跨入明天，见你们所未见！
麻花的中规中矩，硬让你笑！
罗马Quattro Fontane，还是枪战片好看。三个小时的影片只有五分钟有点犯困。马泰拉旅游宣传片头，熟悉的街角，好想回洞里去啊！
最后一部007？还可以拍前传。彩蛋不少，老歌摆尾
#2021.128#007女郎是真的个儿顶个儿顶
大概结局并不是唯一被吐槽的点，如果不是粉丝向，全片节奏确实有问题，以至于分好几段才看完。这个系列真是看了好几十年了，从康纳利和摩尔开始到布鲁斯南，以至于后来格雷格都觉得不是原来的邦德了。但这版也恰好就是如今思维体系里的邦德了，是世界变了，不只是邦德变了。那问题最后就是，还会有续集吗？
虽说片子还没上不知道质量如何，但是发行方中影往影片前头塞了18个预告片这种事很显然是不够尊重观众也不够尊重电影本身。
完美谢幕。所有人物都有了最终归宿，凯瑞福永完美完成了任务，几场枪战戏梦回真探。绝情散的设定非常武侠，邦德一如既往的轴。反派讲得有点少，虽然是最长的一部但感觉还有很多地方可以拍，得靠脑补了……安娜也太可爱了，戏份实在太少。没必要做成3D，太黑了。。
其实还行吧，虽然007有孩子和为女人而死很扯，以及下一任007更扯，但还不算扯得太过分，基本水准还是有的
