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.
韩孝周相比第一部的孙艺珍还是差了一些。李光洙太搞笑了。冲着他来看的。权相佑和姜河那，还不错
220720/22.★★ ★/☆. 鼓励，纵然有较多自嗨性质且落地极其粗糙的缺陷。大姑娘的敬业 努力 和出色表现 是片子（诸多方面）成立的关键，非常棒！
撕掉冗杂的长裙，脱去柔软的布鞋，套上护甲，换成皮靴，拿起宝剑。或许动作戏并不那么华丽有看点，打动我的是公主那颗不熄的战斗之心，使她在面对众多高大壮硕的男性时，在屡屡增添伤口时，在捆绑着落水的绝境中一次次险中求生。这也使得好像公主不死完全是靠自己是主角似的。但这并不是槽点，其他拯救人类的英雄电影敢说他们没加持一点主角光环？我认为这部电影最好的是，它通过公主觉醒后的厮杀告诉我们，女性被华丽的衣饰、被传统的观念、被女性身份所束缚所定义，而女性是可以摆脱这些可以战斗的。但也到此为止了，毕竟这部电影本质就是一部普通动作片。
分数也太低了，虽然确实最终效果还是差了一些，但是迪士尼傻公主片和从头打到尾的动作片结合还别有一番味道的
中世纪公主复仇版《突袭》，武术动作设计还行，力度不够。
还好尚有男女主角颜值撑起一片天，不至于弃片。
像说个通关游戏一样，有限的经费从顶楼打到一楼 没有什么经费 场景也有在一个城堡里，好在时间就1小时30分钟不会太长也恰当，中国的剑客教出了公主一身武艺，成龙式的打斗，图一乐打发下时间还行，说是女权主义电影倒也过了，福克斯出品 不过真的经费太有限了，没有什么爆米花 就是R级的电影，动作戏也都是花拳绣腿，中规中矩吧 至少这部电影杀死了“时间”。
如其叫非凡公主，不如光环公主更恰当，故事老套，公主无双拯救王国，打斗中规中矩，不难看也不出彩，就是除了公主和女配助手之外，其他国王王后等全是工具人无存在感，爆米花角度来说还行吧，至少我没有快进睇完！
砍怪还是OK的，但如果能再R级一些就更好了
媳妇进来问“看啥电影呢”，“非凡公主”，“这是公主”，“嗯”，“公主为啥这么厉害”，“因为非凡”，“哦”。
我觉得第二部比第一部好看，有《加勒比》的特效，有《海贼王》的情谊，有韩棒子的搞笑，还有男女主角的默契。韩孝周的气质更像个女海盗，动作设计也比第一部好。孙艺珍那张脸太精致，反倒不太符合女海盗的造型。两小时轻松欢乐，不知不觉就结束了！挺好看的片子。
小公主暗杀未婚夫那里太可惜了，只差1cm。
女主丑，没啥剧情，打斗动作还算可以，但很虚，勉强5分吧
这Video game不用显卡也渲染的好真实啊！doge
没有比这更燃的电影了。打斗really精彩。脱离旧有的印象。不看不知道。
我是土狗我爱看☺️剧情线比较简单，但是整体来说完成了讲好一个故事的任务。就是所有人物的台词都很简单，甚至没有我做雅思听力来得难😅让人不禁怀疑编剧其实也在敷衍。写到这其实我应该给四星，但是我喝多的时候说过要给五星，so five stars it is🤣
从头打到尾，真的比一般爽片的动作戏几倍还长，但是就是。。后期制作有问题吧。
希望光洙可以接一些高质量的剧本，不然白瞎这演技，和搞笑天分
想给多点星吧，tmd是真的不合理啊，这也太扯了，芝麻大的王国，毛的首位，靠华人授剑法，结果送了一把刀，公主体力爆表，各种体术惊人....无聊
比想象中还可以，本来以为这种海盗片还挺无聊的
