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.
一位名叫凯特的职业女杀手在日本的一次行动中失手，随后被注射了致命的钋-204，只剩下不到24小时的时间复仇。另一条副线是凯特与被她暗杀的一个黑帮骨干的女儿Ani的纠葛关系。
啊，最近看了火药奶昔+门徒+凯特，麻木了。
也没有啥情节，也不需什么情节，就是看里面的打打杀杀。#20210918
冲温姐看的，怒火攻心版John Wick，设定有点儿意思，怎奈故事和动作戏都乏善可陈。。
打戏确实还行，至少几场动作戏都还算过瘾，比火药奶昔精致美女摆pose倒是强好几个档次，国村隼大爷最后那几下武士刀帅惨了。但讲真的这美国人去搅和日本黑帮到底是个什么清奇jb剧本思路，一整套杀手带娃的煽情下来跟隔壁火药奶昔也就半斤八两，要塑造成功一个顶级美女杀手还是上点心吧网飞。退回去抱住我家Villanelle了。
John Wick混搭無仁義之戰，打得不夠過癮
真的是很一般，简介上还说要做成「杀死比尔」的风格，搞笑呢，给比尔提鞋都不配！动作场面不算多但一味的追求暴力血腥，一点美感也没有，而且女主是金刚不坏之身么，知道只有一天时间存活，还全程打了鸡血，被中弹好几次依旧跟没事一样，这主角光环也太夸张了，真的不符合常理！还有剧情也是很随意，逻辑性不好，最后反派死的也太快了，还没到高潮的就仓促结尾了。总体来说，各方面都比较粗制滥造，比较差！
蛮过瘾的大女主动作片，对标疾速追杀、极寒之城，动作戏凌厉+狠厉，运镜流畅，剧情可以忽略，摄影、布光都不错，几场高楼的戏有007Skyfall的范儿。
套路到开篇3分钟就知道全剧主线走势了，可能是近几年最套路的电影了。除了一些爽快砍头的动作镜头不错之外，其它内容都是尬到不行的套路。主角无敌光环+坏人必定话多动作多+“我喝酒杀人放火但我爱护小孩哦”….话说既然是zzzq的白平胸短发，不搭配一个黑胖硕脏辫说不过去啊，qs黑胖啊。
设定还算有点意思，质感也不错，奈何动作戏好几处太拉胯，这种软绵绵的招式是怎么通过拍摄的？
平庸吧。不过温斯特德这两年在外形上倒是挺作践自己的，当年的她多可人啊~~~
其实也能算是各种银翼风了，甚至都把鸽子换成了招财猫
怒火攻心的女版，女主虽然是一张大众脸，但是不论枪战戏还是打戏都可圈可点，影片中浓浓的日系黑帮漫画风增添了和纯正的美系动作片不一样的迷人色彩，值得二刷！
动作干净利落，女主又飒又酷，没有主角光环，比较真实。
〈三星半〉很奈飞也很适合奈飞。爽了，没了。
虽然这预告片充满着网飞大数据算法脚本生成器的味道……但MEW主演要如何拒绝（被算法拿捏的死死地）//KATE这摆明了是在致敬梅津泰臣的KITE吧…虽然剧情本就不值一提，但后端泄气也是泄得有点多。网飞是真有钱吧…这剧好多街景感觉都是搭出来的…还是说日本有个小巷影视城…欧美大片过来排着队用？
剧本写得挺流程化的，所谓的反转容易想到，甚至自己连最终大战的小腿中弹都猜出来了——不过，全片的诚意实在是太大了……
《赛博朋克2077》歌舞伎区既视感，反转虽然能猜到，但是真的不喜欢。前半段多带感啊，越往后越垮，
虽然故事结构老套阴谋论，但整体手法枪战武士刀还是很凌厉的，整体没有过多拖拉，能让人看下去！
片子就那样但mew实在太帅了，miku也好可爱
