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.
汤老师胖了，躺下来肚子乱颤。个别场面给恐血小哥哥吓到了嘻嘻。原声，印度版插了几次赌场广告啧啧。
感觉比以往的garbage好一点吧，大概1.5。这个感觉是在刻意模仿致所有男孩第一部那种dumb pact的故事，就是，在这个里面，我看不到女主对男主的箭头，所有的情节都在展示how much 男主A爱女主C，（但是感觉更像是impress her像是追她的那种），而女主从来从来没有表现过对男主的感情，以至于到最后我甚至都觉得，赶紧分了吧，你别在祸害他了的感觉，yeah女主是漂亮，hot brunette，尤其开头结尾穿裙子那打扮，真漂亮she could have anyone she wants，但是这情节，再漂亮都不行！！！还有就是，不合实际，明明是高中生，完全感觉不到，每次回忆必然是男主带女主在各种玩，包括不限于派对、游艇等，然后突然告诉你毕业了申请没申到（申到我觉得才见鬼呢，早分吧
我怎么能想到2021了居然还能拍出“你爹妈死了，我是你哥哥”这种剧情
BTW这封面真挺像兄妹的
而作为一部西部片，自然少不了枪战、决斗、以及各种追求仪式感的装B时刻，但用多了真的让人审美疲劳。不过电影好在有些地方进行了反高潮处理，增强了可看性。
形式感的剪辑，很戏剧性的美术，太无聊的剧情。音乐还挺好听。
娱乐性十足的西部黑帮片，黑人女主也是真的飒
没人骂？结束之后还响起雷鸣般的掌声掌声？我真吐了 怎么2021年了还有人拍这种片子啊？
豆瓣的评分是认真的吗？台词辛辣，配乐有劲，气氛紧张.最喜欢的非裔演员都找来了还都这么有气场，除了反高潮过多，中间节奏脱了点以外，真的是满分的Nu牛仔电影，vibe太喜欢了最后还是决定加颗星.
就前半段毒液和埃迪斗嘴还算有趣。然后他们产生矛盾分开，最后又复合，合体打反派…基本没什么剧情。
喜欢西部片，极少给西部片打低分，但是这部让人观感很不舒服
两星半吧，安妮丹毒液艾迪一对夫妻一对基，更神奇的是这个人无论怎样排列组合都蛮好嗑的诶，他们好像互相爱着😂从第一部就觉得丹真是个勇敢的好人啊！尖叫出来以后就换了一身Gucci，笑的，黑人发达了就是要穿Gucci！这一部真是食之无味弃之可惜，你不能说很难看，但更说不出来它好看
感谢网飞，完美无瑕的戏剧配乐，星光熠熠的华丽卡司，台词、剪辑、调度拳拳到肉的酣畅体验。2021年我们才看到全非裔阵容，荡气回肠的风格佳作。曾几何时，经典叙事舞台只为白人霸占，一旦有心系统性消音，当再现传统类型的反向套路由不同肤色演绎，满屏政治正确和历史虚无的无知恶评已经无声旁证少数话语被长期镇压的遗毒。虽然情节是虚构，但他们——西部荒野的黑人牛仔——曾真实存在。恶贯满盈的凶徒不过是凡人，真正的魔鬼长着白皮肤。地狱如何存在？正如闯入白种城镇银行，迎接他们的是鸦雀无声的真空寂静，是不以平视目光回应的无耻嗤笑，是少数族裔试图讲述自己的历史，就被行业主流的虚伪平权让渡暗地推挤边缘，悄然抹杀的常态。这样的电影不是太少，而是远远不够。复仇始于深爱，终于亲手斩断宿命深渊之链，「洛夫」死去，自由的爱将新生。
这怎么找到这么多长的一模一样的黑人的？
黑人牛仔就捏吗离谱，这个时间段的美国黑人不几乎都是奴隶吗？越来越离谱，干脆把华盛顿也拍成黑人好了，说实话我都怀疑是反串黑了，故意这样拍来黑 黑人的片子。
太难看了，换成白人也一样难看，没完没了的叨逼台词和人脸特写，外景也假，除了音乐和结尾枪战能加点分，据称网飞砸了9千万，比起几年前同样的大制作《豪勇七蛟龙》差的远了，而那部片只有一个黑人华盛顿能碾压此片
哪怕就是为了看毒液 X Eddie 也快看不下去了
被这部片子种草的一个小姐姐Talia！青春洋溢的影片近两年真是很少见了，看的老阿姨砰砰心跳。很羡慕在年轻十几二十出头的年纪就开始找寻自己、恋人、朋友、家人的关系，对这种“毕业即分手”看似略带感伤的事情，处理的如此释怀坦然。
一般纯正的西部味，有点没搞懂片中人物的行事准则……
卖点是打破对西部片传统语境与刻板印象的再阐释，片头那个「exist」注定要挖掘那些不曾被浓墨重彩记载或是还未有被人注意的历史；这个动机被用全非裔美国演员的选角以及女性角色亮相的平分秋色所完成- -只不过《豪勇七蛟龙》、Idris自己的《贫民区牛仔》都已经开始注意，所以所谓独特性被大打折扣。抛开这之外，故事依然延续了老式的「情仇、冤冤相报何时了」；只能靠对血腥的不吝呈现以及具有风格的视听来抓住视线。由Jay-Z策划的音乐以及整体相当不错的表演有挽回分数，但看的时候还是会禁不住对这片竟然有九千万的投资靠背、竟然还缓慢积累起奥斯卡buzz的疑惑【#mygirl# Regina!】。
