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.
罗通跟龙顺打那段也太燃了吧，修罗拳对战重拳，音效配的也好棒！
无论什么事，一旦你想装深沉，就显得矫情了。
打戏真的天花板，剧情薄弱了，亮点全在打戏，但是太密集也有点审美疲劳。
武戏拉满，分镜不错，三渲二水墨风也很漂亮，就是剧情真的太单薄了
以罗通为视角，漕帮卷入阴谋之中，同样是为父报仇，背后的老谋深算，谁曾想，下一代还是要卷入其中，到底什么是大业呢？被洗脑过了头的人真是天真的可怕~
国漫在一步步地提升水平 例如从提高帧数开始。
强烈建议枕刀歌剧组接手国内各大武侠IP的武指工作！！！！！尤其是《雪中悍刀行》！！！！！！
所谓江湖，快意恩仇，仇恨就是逻辑，多谈人性，少讲大道理，各有各的理，就是反派蛰伏谋划20年被家破人亡的小子从头到尾一路反杀说得过去吗？
武指几乎完美，用动画来再现更有自由度。剧情瑕不掩瑜，还是挺担心价值观问题，一句“真聪明都是善良的人”看似轻描淡写，大家能真正理解吗？最后结尾一笔点睛又是极深的：枪杆子的血。
不同的文化和语言并没有起到像《驾驶我的车》里的错位效果。除了几个略打动我的点以及人马对视，乏善可陈。
剧情简单，但动作场景一如既往地精彩绝伦。最精彩的打斗场面都在漫画里了，不得不说这是武侠真人电影的悲哀。
超棒，国漫崛起，国漫打斗戏的天花板！影比剧成熟了，好多人希望这部漫去大荧幕，但我自私还是想让它就这么悄悄崛起，最后一鸣惊人，期待第二季…故事虽然还不够饱满，但打斗场面已很震撼，加油！视而不见，与刽子手同罪！
台词和打斗很好，剧情很差，反派的理想莫名其妙，江渊的转变也莫名其妙。
每个人都令人窒息，但你又明白每个人在这片土地上又必然存在。或许寄希望于任何外物帮你逃离都是徒劳，找到白马就不要给它缰绳，让它随意奔出这围栏。
9.5
和瀑布有着某种如出一辙的相似。生活的一地鸡毛，经济疫情环境下的压抑窒息，病痛缠身的绝望和折磨，青春少女的孤独叛逆，一个家庭无法好好沟通的爱恨纠葛分崩离析… 残酷又真实。PS，两位女主十分优秀
怒赞！不必说武术动作大大加分，音效氛围营造的也非常恰适；故事简单，但调度和水平真真是梦回武侠时代，短小精悍不装逼；永恒的个体命运与集体利益冲击的悲剧，堪称不上完美，可也难得不乏教化之意；国漫做成这样相当提气！
枕刀歌尘世行做的很纯粹，很中国风的武侠故事，招招见真章，看得出制作组是做了很多准备的，武打的招式做的很写实，人物建模也有江湖儿女的粗犷气质，算是近几年比较特别的国漫作品，整部电影100分钟，篇幅和故事节奏都掌控的很不错，期待以后能在大银幕看到，品质再打磨一下完全不输院线电影的，虽然看下来故事线是比较单薄，但是团队还是放了很多巧思进去的，比如西门仁这个角色，就是很值得探讨的，值得一看。
电影拍的03年，但有着不可思议的现实感，不久前这些台词我听到过。是不是所有妈妈都想过自由，谁也没有多少选择的余地，已经是能做到的最好了。两年前看多兰的杀妈，那时同现在一样心潮澎湃，其实恨意都很脆弱，看到结尾心中一股暖流。对的时间看了对的电影。
