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.
3D动漫的角色样子越来越同样了，这部男女主角越看越像《疯狂动物城》里的主角。。剧情也拍到没什么可拍的感觉了，这设定是没见过，但剧情就是能让你猜到没什么惊喜。
与众不同的画风，足足100分钟，坏人也可以来一场好的抢劫，每个人都可以被救赎，每个人都可以成为一个好人。
因为刻板印象，所以坏人只能是坏人的设定，当然了这个设定注定是为了推翻而来的。很梦工厂的风格，插科打诨有想象力，但是没那么疯，两首音乐特别棒。
这个世界不是非黑即白，还有很多灰色区域
这部根据儿童漫画改编的电影，无论是蹩脚的世界设定还是简单的剧情、俗套的笑点，显然都是为孩子们服务的。 然而，电影还是有一些元素可以让成年观众感受到乐趣，例如专业的舞蹈、打斗设计，以及高辨识度的角色形象。
原来还有人知道怎么把打斗、飙车和恋爱混在一起啊。
预料之内的大反派和令人惊喜的大团圆，合家欢的标准结局谁不爱呢~
只能说毕竟先有动物城 所以.......
超超超好看！ 是我一天看了三场电影里觉得最好看的。 画风巨细腻！ 剧情节奏紧凑且不经意就会放出反转！
三星
终于在电影院看到了。台词很出彩～动作超流畅～调皮捣蛋的坏孩子并不是生来就是坏的，只是没有人告诉他们，他们很可爱，可以变好，一样可以拥有掌声与party。而那些打着好人之名，真正做坏事的人，才是最可怕的。故事很精彩，逻辑有呼应，有小技巧感，精彩！
三星半。很不错的动画片，内容上是对很多经典影片的揉合以及致敬，反套路点子虽然能被预想到但还是能带来点惊喜，其实环球还是小黄人的套路，并不追求新颖创造性的的剧情，而是用人物形象以及夸张带感的动作设计带动观众情绪，对于动画片来说也无可厚非，能够让观众开心就好啦
史上最惨五一档，好在还有一部轻松愉快的动画电影《坏蛋联盟》可以看，狼外婆把我笑疯了！
自古深情留不住，唯有套路得人心。
嗑到了狗哥狐姐，以及全程在思考橘子酱烤荷兰猪是什么味道……
本片建议学龄前儿童观看。除了剧情低幼，其他方面也很失败aka福瑞控都萌不起来
看个乐吧，没深度没惊喜，后面反转又反转到不合理
#IMAX 很久没有在大银幕上看到打斗如此到位的警匪片了，近几年警匪片更追求一些没有意义的大场面，对正邪的设置也较为单一扁平。但这部对体制的批判，对人物的塑造都还是比较犀利的。就是不够深入，我有理由怀疑是审查的原因导致得诸多不足。不过近战风格那么凌厉的国产动作片确实少见，看爽了，结尾也懂得做减法，算是拉回了点文戏的不足。
开场的梦工厂logo都变成了痞帅的大坏狼，虽然整体是一贯的合家欢套路，但鲜活治愈的叙事在某些瞬间还是让你有“摇尾巴”的冲动，观感上有点像前几年的《超级大坏蛋》，为了吸引目光而坏的坏蛋最终从良，以善良标榜看似温顺的豚鼠实则才是真正的坏蛋，就像“陨石”“电灯”和“屁股”全都是一个模样，而团结与善良永远可以戳破不堪一击的漂亮假象。
可是真的多少有些boring，设定和故事已经不出花了。
