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.
看前知道烂，但我是没想到居然比毒液2还烂…好感莱托少爷多给一星吧。索尼真不会拍，ip什么时候能回迪士尼。
行吧，漫威作为一个品牌，已经发展出自己的超能力了。超级催眠。
#拍挺好，别再拍了
这才是真正的漫威版"蝙蝠侠"，整体观感比《毒液2》略强，属于不咋地但还看的下去的范畴，索尼这是要把跟蜘蛛侠有关的角色全部拍一遍啊，后面好像还有蜘蛛女……
谁敢相信莫比亚斯和保罗古驰是同一个人演的。然而还是不好看。
真·蝙蝠侠。但是设定和故事都是几百年前的套路了，根本就是拍了个超级英雄式的吸血鬼起源故事。理解你是夜行动物，但夜戏那么多看了个寂寞。而且你不是会飞了吗，那为什么跟反派打的时候不飞？被摔得七荤八素，最后还得依靠召唤蝙蝠以多打少。地铁站莫比亚斯VS麦洛酷似黑豹VS金钱豹。
(这算是……漫威蝙蝠侠？)
粒子特效做得非常好看
进阶现代版夜访吸血鬼 分全给演员阵容 但观感上比毒液2和蜘蛛3好
其实没有想的那么差，索尼自己抄自己的毒液能有什么不对呢？可能是我审美疲劳了吧，这种看了开头就知道后面的电影，看起来完全不能全神贯注起来，这部更甚，开头连反派都能认出来，你找个面相不这么坏的人演不行吗？两个探员最后连个交代也没有，合着前面给那么多戏份也是白扯。
主要是故事没逻辑，人物行为说不通，但其实和其他超英片质量差不了多少。
英雄首次亮相篇里的反派都好弱。。。
这部没有很难看，而且有点想起之前玩的VAMPYR的视觉表现
索尼是不是只会这种特效，毒液的时候感觉很新鲜，到了暗夜博士还是这种。从头到尾都在纠结反派为什么要一直穿运动鞋，我是毒液那里笑了hhh
两星半，电影评分还不如金基德同名情色电影，漫威你说说你商业片沦落至此。Jared Leto的眼睛好美。毒液：人在家中坐，怎么杀人吸血的锅从天上来，老子明明只吃🧠！博士先生是不是在soho区惊魂夜演流里流气坏痞子演上瘾了……
贼烂，虽然是暗夜博士，你用不用在黑夜里演动作片还要把光线调的贼暗，你索性关灯放个mp3让大家脑补打斗不就结了么？要么就是残影特效，要么就是黑灯瞎火啥也看不见，看个漫威改编片结果看了个寂寞。
是趁漫威第四阶段把超凡蜘蛛侠时立项的废本子翻出来拍了吧
在复联4后mcu全面拉跨的前提下，本片倒是意外的挺好看，没有fun的元素之下，惊悚的风格做的还不错，战斗和特效都出乎意料的有意思，但是剧情还是很弱，又一个套着老版蜘蛛侠和绿魔爱恨情仇的故事，节奏虽然不够快，但是人物转变啥的倒是很迅速，最后秃鹫登场反而是一大亮点。
没有逻辑转化，Milo。这就变坏，非要打一架？
6.5分。其实总体还可以，就是有点90年代B级片的感觉
