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.
无聊时看看还是可以的,打斗动作、枪战、剧情虽然俗套了一些,但女主动作戏、身材及颜值很好。
你选择上我还是杀我?然后鸟人与李美琪就开搞。妈的你以为你们是布拉德皮特和朱莉的《史密斯夫妇》嚒!无脑的垃圾电影,浪费爸爸时间!
有些电影就是看了就看了,不知道说什么好,可能是看了个寂寞吧。
打戏过关,动作合理,除了颜值都是老人家...
Cineplex. International Village. 没评价里写的那么难看但是真的有点长了....
中规中矩没什么可圈点的武打片。麦姐演感情戏一如既往的容易用力过猛
Maggie Q就不能演一点不一样的角色吗!!亲娘嘞 老套烂俗 但是Maggie Q虽然年纪大了 但还是美 这两星就给她的颜值吧
3星,动作戏相当不错, 马Q这些年发展的不错啊。
没有任何剧情纯动作片,然而动作又做的不太行,导演镜头还到位。
李女士的脸保持得也太自然了吧!李女士打戏一如既往牛逼!咱就是说还是要看未删减版!那个黑人永远不会死!就是这剧情稀烂
Maggie Q虽然已过气,可这么套路的剧情也太对不起这豪华的男主男二阵容吧
不能接受的是,两人打着打着,搞到一起去了。。。这样太扯了吧,专业杀手真会玩呀!还有,作为一个顶级杀手,居然连最亲信任的人的身份都不能确定?还尸体也不收。。。那个雪茄藏刀,也好巧不巧啊。。。不过最大的动作戏份,着实精彩,故事也基本圆满,可以接受。
感觉没看明白 不得不说李美琪 迈克尔基顿和杰克逊这个阵容很吸引人 但故事讲的有一说一确实很烂
Maggie Q身材还是爆好,但已经不是当年的Nikita,剧情就很 一 般
别被评分骗了,是部好看的动作惊悚片,这个完成度很不错了,现在很少这类型的片了,起码比那个啥火药奶昔好两分。
如果没有太多空余时间,或者愿意来吐槽,那就不要看了。当然,李美琪居然神奇地将胸部搞大了一些,其实没有必要。
中世纪版的《杀死比尔》,第二部公主被活埋,然后依靠中国功夫破土而出,继续复仇...
你以为是女亚邦德,其实是廉价猫奴John Wick,枪没打几响床倒是上的快还前后有SM,只是一张徐娘瘫面直男是不是也全程软,其实适逢拔掉阿富汗这也可以是对美国佬凌虐越南搭进一堆白人黑鬼最后受害女性颤巍巍的走出来的社会历史隐喻
Private showing. 打戏很好看,非常血腥,比John wick血腥很多,剧本就很一般,不过有Maggie Q 和Michael Keaton还要什么自行车!
看完这片的第一件事就是立刻打开页面翻出来看看编剧到底是哪个臭傻逼,结果,我操,理查德温克?!这尼玛能是写过《机械师》和《敢死队2》以及《伸冤人》的编剧干出的事?真不知道这货是嗑多了还是喝多了或是撸多了胡诌出来的本子,本来还想骂马丁坎贝尔的,想想也算了,老头一把年纪混饭吃也不易,不过说真的他不出啥意外未来几年就得跟西蒙韦斯特和雷尼哈林一样来天朝拍片了,天朝毕竟是荷里活过气导演恰烂钱的集中营!
