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.
韩国电影说他剧情不好，演员不好，但你从来都不能说演技不好
其实镜头给的蛮主观的 不过主观也是为了向商业妥协 很神奇的政治电影 很有趣的相映成趣 人物的复杂和立场都立起来了 不过改编故事到底有没有故事本身精彩值得思考
赵宇镇一句话四两拨千斤：你的主子一直被反对派称作“赤色分子”，那他有可能继续培养你这么一个脱北者吗？
对政治不感冒。
通过这部电影开始了解邻居国度的政权更迭，看看旁人的世界，勿论是非。
你想改变世界，一个无辜的人不会被当作主义者迫害的世界，在那里你可以无所畏惧地说话，国家不强迫人民做出牺牲，创造这样一个世界是我的最大的目标。
你说他是为了民族大义吧，好像也不是，也不是为了钱，只能理解是为了理想吧，诸葛亮是不是也是这样想的。
特地查了一下史实，记住了严昌禄，一个从来不知道的人。另一个是大名鼎鼎的金大中，不查都知道。
在大选之年上映确实很应景，但除此之外本片似乎就没什么可说的了。无论是内容还是人物都留于表面，政客也好民众也罢皆似浮沉般，和《那些年，那些人》，《1987》等作品相比就太小儿科了。
拧拧巴巴的西方审美。果然舶来品特么都是一整套的，选举、辩论、西方哲学、莎士比亚。薛景求就是个正儿八经的虚假的理想主义者。其实薛当上CEO未必比现任更好，区别无非是一个敢画大饼，一个不想画大饼而已。
好的故事，也贡献了不少金句，但就是挺无聊的。
和南山部长映射朴xx 不同，王者制造映射的金大中，韩国如今的审查制度也是在金任期通过的，薛景求是影片质量保证，如果影子肖有坞先生的悟性便好，站上台前的阴损军师永远都要被清算，可惜坞先生本身也是虚构人物，李善均演那种阴损毒辣没底线的形象还差点火候，有点太年轻了。影子肖被抓薛景求很着急想去解救肖被人拉住劝他说“我知道你有多么在乎他以及他为你做了多少，但是你现在需要了解你的立场，结束独裁实现民主这就是坐在这里每个人都在为之奋斗的目标——但我不能放弃他——然后代替你，党的领导人如何为我们所有人采取行动”中，然后代替你什么意思？
先看演员：薛景求，《素媛》《兹山渔谱》《实尾岛》；李善均，《走到尽头》《我的大叔》《检察官內传》，二位影帝级的较量，还有教导主任刘在明、《秘密森林》里的警察科长、申部长等等，阵容强大。看他们的表演，的确很过瘾，但是电影太商业了，可以说很套路，有讨好观众之嫌，7.5分。
浪费演员，薛没有发挥余地，即使几次演讲都很平淡，对原型有抹黑，没用真名是对的。
算是首尾呼应吧，偷鸡蛋的故事太有意思。有些差评也是挺可爱，不感兴趣所以看了打低分这是什么逻辑，我不感兴趣的题材我都不会看。zz远比书本上有趣的多
你不能把一位政治家刻画成傻白甜，你也不能把一名幕后军师刻画成一心想站在光明下的小镇青年，都太幼稚。
因丢了几个鸡蛋能让我看清偷鸡蛋的为人，我觉得太值得了。不再和偷鸡蛋的人来往，把自家鸡窝门修得更牢固一些，继续在自己的小世界里自力更生自娱自乐，别人发财不羡慕，别人受苦不幸灾乐祸，陪有伤口有故事的人聊聊天看看电影，一起渡过谁都会难受的那道坎，做一个心软的有良知有爱心有追求的精神充实丰满的人。
既是解药也是毒药，金云范最终知道了影子的使用方法
影片结尾肖长达等红灯时逆行而往最后投入黑暗之中，正是全片的中心思想，得不到就去毁灭它，韩国在类型片上已经无敌了，尤其是政治片！
價值觀不同,註定要分道揚鑣.
