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.
期望过高，整体格调太闷，看的很劝退，明明药神节奏很好，四字演技还需加油啊，后面结尾太仓促，虽然是good ending,但很多地方确实经不起推敲，整部电影感觉有点流水线的感觉，有点应付作业的意思了。景彤的小演员真的很有灵性，这个选角可以。
虽然知道是个主旋律片，但还是常为主角揪心。而且我们心里都知道，现实中主角如果一直保持这样正直和朴实，几乎不可能有出头之日。
还行。希望大家相信奇迹。改了电影名 加了笨小孩挺合适的，笨鸟先飞，只有努力了拼搏了就会发生奇迹，电影主导的是这样一种理念。景浩在通往成功的路上，淋过雨受过伤，你觉得现实不可能反反复复如此残酷，但往往却更残酷。小故事讲述的就是普普通通，导演是这种风格么，可以看但错过也没什么…
音乐铺太满了，感觉全靠音乐推。汪春梅不错。结局可以理解但狗屎，发布会前结束就好了。导演还是在很几个镜头里体现了水平的（比如第一次拆机的一系列镜头，田壮壮透过门卫室看哥妹两人的镜头）
过程是现实，结局太理想，不过无论如何还是要好好努力，好好生活，心怀希望
节奏强，全员演技在线，易烊千玺贡献了很多高光moment，幸亏进去之前买了包纸。
对于命题作文来说，成色可谓是相当可以。但是这个故事本身其实严重缺乏普适性，它讲述的归根结底是一个成功者的故事，在极少数的成功者之外，是万万千千没能成功、甚至永远陷于泥沼的人。真正的致敬，可以献给成功者，更加得献给失败者。
有钱真好——三观不正。道不同不相为谋。显示就应该到房子被收回哪里，那样才真实。
说实话，我就想说，这个故事也能算奇迹?这部电影没有给我太多的真实感，我没有看见小人物有多努力，我只看见主角在经历一点点小倒霉后得到了许多人一辈子都得不到的幸运，随随便便拆个机就能挣上百万!!?而且除去主角，其他人根本没有生活压力，感觉他们的存在就是为了帮助男主的，典型的主角光环，配角围绕主角转，太悬浮太不真实了。同时，妹妹这个角色更是没有塑造好，真的完全没看出来她病得很重，也不能让我体会到主角对钱的急切渴望。好作品源于好故事，如果没有好故事，那还是别拍了吧😅
就一碗老配方鸡汤，过年喝喝也不错，也没被强灌的感觉，所以ok的。
文牧野的第二部电影依然聚焦现实生活题材和底层小人物的故事，继药神后又迎来了组装小分队，展示各色“老弱病残”的众生相和奋斗史，一路跌跌撞撞、扶摇直上，最终涅槃逆袭的神奇奋斗故事，完美的点题电影名。整个时代背景也重现了改革开放后的深圳，正是一代代的打工人和外地移民推动了这座城市的飞速发展，让我们见证当今世界闻名的深圳之都，这部影片定能激励、帮助、推动更多在路上打拼的人，意义非凡，阳光普照。
四字弟弟真的转型成功了！！！🎉 终于get到弟弟的帅点了！！
小人物故事；
十分推荐去影院观看！
泪点很密集，而且都戳在了疼的地方。可环境再艰难，到底还是熬出头了。景浩就跟千玺弟弟一样，代表不了普通的大多数。为了跟“赵总”见上一面，不该鼓励拼到这种程度就为了一句话吧。作为献礼片，小文导演和宁监制也很崩溃吧。
悬浮，哪里有这种学历不高的混混却还能死心塌地不求回报的员工请给我介绍
做好电影容易，做好人很难，现实中可遇不到这么多好人。
深圳宣传片，中国宣传片，深圳奇迹，中国奇迹！
所有的草台班子都会很温情，不知道谁搞得设定到处都在套用
这次的追车戏动作戏没有让我出戏 用力的眼泪做到了
