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.
给攀岩电影硬生生加上一个「狗血」离奇的情节，内容降智，特效低廉，满屏的「棚拍感」。最初以为会是个二女携手勇攀高峰的「励志」故事，不想看来看去却发现，终究还是逃不出20年代「恐男厌男」的女性主题惊悚片之惯性思维。不禁想问，现在的导演们灵感果真就如此匮乏？「大女主绝处逢生开挂反杀男BOSS 」的剧情一年要来个多少次才肯罢休？白天刚看了《监视者》，晚上又来这么一出，明天若是再看A24的《男人》，我恐怕真心吃不消了。咱就不能换个思路？
攀岩追逐的场景设定有些新意，但剧情太单调、老套。
我还是蛮喜欢的，猫鼠追逐还外带极限求生，戳中我的审美点。 尽管有点假，但挺刺激。
女主先行离开休息，
男主疲劳驾驶出车祸，女友死了，在车祸地点看见一金发妹和小男孩（被绑架的），男主在车祸地准备吃安眠药自杀，被金发女开枪，大胡子警察，美国大使馆特工也是帮凶，最后男主成功反杀，救了男孩
故事奇奇怪怪，意外听懂路人说主角malaka什么的
的确有很多CMBYN式的元素，房客、作家、桔子、衬衫以及换了种说法的以你的名字呼唤我直接在台词中出现，等等，包括前半程故事走向和节奏调调也挺像。非常文艺迷影范，布列松、黑泽明、塔可夫斯基纷纷出镜，洛丽塔、莫里斯等等也被提及。摄影构图很漂亮，美术布景很舒服，和以往的印度电影观影经验大不同。可惜后半程掉得有些多，在隐身与逃跑中舔舐时代身份之悲苦，反倒不如副线女人之间的互救来得动人。
前半部分中规中矩，从姐姐离家出走情节开始紧凑。
一堆青铜追着王者追杀，小众类型片，目测未来三十年爬岩会在我国大火。
希腊，车祸，医院，警察……开始的部分不就是我。后来嘛，超能力和对抗秘密组织的行事动机都实在太说不过去，风土、街景和当下政治倒是融入得还行。
像是网飞流水线出来的同志剧本套了个印度的壳 颜色鲜明 倒是内核一如既往的单调 对男主妹妹这个女性意识觉醒的角色的塑造还是非常亮眼的 故事的最后兄妹俩都走上了追求人生意义的道路 只是一个顺风顺水一个穷困潦倒 而那个曾经进入二人生活却又不告而别的男人 也只是偶尔在梦中出现在那片湖边
哥哥和妹妹爱上了同一个男人，且同时坠入了爱情的泥淖，充满世俗挑战的乱伦之情，却无处不散发着文艺的诗性的光辉。电影拍摄的暧昧又克制，像极了情场上的恶魔，在潜移默化中慢慢摄取着观众细腻且柔软的心魄。也是较少看到如此文艺的印度电影，有别于传统印度电影留给观众的刻板印象，虽然音乐也是其中不可或缺的重要元素，但这部影片的电影音乐大多为慢音乐或轻音乐，节奏较为舒缓，令观众的观看体验极为舒适。电影的镜头语言细致浪漫，虽然一些地方明显十分刻意，但起码传达给观众的电影思路较为清晰。电影在爱情的主线之下，又加入了一条女性自我认知，独立傲世的故事线，两条故事都对当今印度社会的现实进行了反喻，也确实有着十分个性化的思想表达。
故事讲得疲沓稀烂，建议直接快进到40分钟处开始看，丝毫不影响剧情～天南海北的语言掩盖不了演员表演的浮夸，就像用方言拯救不了不好笑的喜剧一样～
里面的诗好美啊，无论是电影本身还是现实的情况都是一种禁忌，虽渣，但也算浪漫。
坏人吊下来拿石头砸也砸死了，整这么费劲呢？
剧情被慢动作拉胯，两个男主每次走出来都是刻意编排，故意做作的表情和动作过火了。
bug还是很多，但攀爬的部分确实是让人提着心！
印度版call me by ur name，画面很美，非常做作，可是又浪漫得不得了，在河边接吻做爱睡了一觉，早上醒来发现身边有一只大象，妈呀这样做作的戏码超符合我口味，满分可以二刷
CMBYN真是提供了一个绝佳的文艺片范本。只要有美景、文学书籍📚、明朗的色彩，基本上三星稳了。不过内容方面还是流于表面。
一根牛子和一個自以爲很OPEN的碧池引發的慘案，沒那意思你打NMLGB的KISS，搞的好像很放得開玩的開，其實這就是一坨屎，多一星給山和風景，這是一坨屎
