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.
从“旺达幻视”之后就期待这部电影，失望。4月29日收到友邻消息：等不到了。大概是指大银幕上等不到了。没看过奇异1，冲女巫看奇异2，不喜欢片中女巫的角色塑造，虽然“旺达幻视”中，情怀都卖得差不多了，坑也大多填了，也赚足了我的眼泪，大概能理解要在旺达这个角色上开辟新路线，但是让旺达在正邪之间反复横跳，就很没意思了。最后跟比利、汤米面对面的画面，很尴尬。博士和美国小姐首次穿越到的宇宙，街景很美，像是动画片中的纽约。服化道和动作设计上，除了最后的哥特式黑暗，其他场景和化妆很难入戏，打斗动作像是八九十年代的tvb武侠剧。同为烟熏妆，旺达的眼妆却远不及复联2，怎么看都觉得像是梅超风。最后，英雄只能被摧毁，不可被打败，旺达将自己同黑暗神书一并掩埋，期待旺达在"Agatha"中回归，两反派凑一起，会很好玩？
…我到底错过了什么。超级英雄电影从什么时候开始变成恐怖片了？ 关于反派，这位女士，那么喜欢孩子的话现在自己去生一个也来得及。
救命……杀疯了！疯批惊悚美女，镜中世界，樱花雨与血雾，雪山之巅祭台上状若神女的脆弱疯子，恶鬼贯穿举手投足如同诡异舞蹈的僵尸——这电影场景和设定狠狠踩在我癖好上！😭穿越所有平行时空，透过末日冰川文本漫画诡谲色彩，I love u, I love u in every universe, 靠😭我一整整个被惊艳住。最后两个女人打架一个嗯哼，一个啊哈，是谁被苏的头皮发麻，是我。
旺达美出新高度 逻辑有点难受 但恐怖片效果确实没想到 待有翻译了二刷
完全没怎么看过漫威系列竟然也看得很开心 （当然中间两三处其他观众在笑我就很懵...）特效好棒，中间穿越各种平行宇宙那里特别精彩，最后男女主煽情桥段虽然挺常见的但还是泪目了...
I love you in every universe.换成不久之前的我听到这句词已经泪流满面了
奇异博士之你幸福吗
暗黑风格漫威，有了之前没有的惊悚元素，剧本有点问题，但视效盛宴，氛围拉满，不去影院看没感觉
山姆雷米我滴神！太惊艳了，史传奇绝对扛得动漫威多元宇宙的大旗，本来担心这么短时间而且补拍这么多次会拍砸，但是完全没有，惊喜客串众多但是完全没有抢博士风头，也没有影响紧凑的节奏，反而用花样百出的死法给博士和旺达打了一波硬广，跟whatif的联动也好惊喜，希望america小姐姐早日有自己的个人电影或者剧集
"I love you in every universe."
有亮点有真情（这年头拍科幻片不容易，大家脑洞都天然大）screenX首纪念。

妈耶真恐怖片儿！的同时蛮好看完全值得大荧幕 有点可惜不能同时拥有imax和2D
女巫设定真是mcu里打不死的bug，邻家版的奥妹实在太美了。
整体剧情依然拉胯，没有什么逻辑可言…真的在复联4之后大家已经视觉疲劳了…而且这部又是自己人打自己人没什么逻辑可言，像是连续剧一样…唯一值得惊喜的地方就是这部的恐怖元素多了很多，多了一丝不一样的观感哈哈哈哈看的时候一直在说“这是恐怖片吧”
“我爱你，无论哪个宇宙我都爱你”的告白很真，但“那是我的两个母亲”更让我惊喜…不过我还是在疑惑为什么要把旺达塑造成一个不顾一切的疯女人。就像她责问史蒂芬的那样：“为什么你能做的事，我去做你就要指责我呢？”
【YVR-5th】个人而言，是漫威宇宙最重要五部甚至前三部的电影。这种重要性体现在类型片的选择和表达上。当然了，超英片有的问题它都有（故事逻辑，战斗力混乱），该有的彩蛋也有（新的人物介绍，继续拓展宇宙边界），但不同于以往乖宝宝一样的导演执行，这次能看出Sam Raimi（毕竟大导演呀）的个人风格 鬼玩人。随着第一代演员的离去，越来越多对续集电影的排斥和对超英片大同小异的指责，这时候漫威能拿出一部这样的作品（当然，奇异博士不是它们的王牌），就算有试水的嫌疑，也是值得表扬的。而且wanda的支线和自己的电视剧连接紧密，大呼过瘾；而哪怕没看过WandaVision也不影响理解。支持
比想象中要好一点
从蜘蛛侠3过来，发现奇异博士和王都记得spider man?? 那蜘蛛侠3演了个啥？？
致最强的Wanda，可太帅了。看文字介绍有点飞，什么丧尸都出来了。看到正片一点也不违和了，这就是电影魅力吧。
