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.
血腥到位。虽然是情节无新意，但卡点很准，节奏点踩的挺好。3星半。
这片出乎我意料的好看啊！回味无穷！看完想起这片的一个个小细节，获得最佳编剧奖实至名归呀！今年开年最让我惊喜的电影，年轻女主和中年女主两个演员都演的太好了，值得奥斯卡女主角加冕。电影原声太棒了！每一个小细节前后都有关联，教美女用头饰戴帽子，为后面肚子被扎埋下伏笔。
暴力谋杀喜剧，骚爆了/真是坚强的老爹爹/打打杀杀下来，走上绝路的夫妻意外绝处逢生
三星半，导演的恶趣味弥漫全片，类型之混杂也让我看的一愣一愣的：一开始以为是情侣互害的荒诞喜剧，接下来变成歹徒入室的惊悚悬疑，再变成以命相博的动作片，最后当我以为要以残年老父出现收场变成搞笑亲情剧的时候。。。。北欧人打架真是实诚真就啥玩意都往头上招呼啊。PS：晕血的就别看了。
Noomi依然是打出一套血路 然而回回不一樣 挺好的 擺脫女殺手的形象
又血腥又有点搞笑，还不错哦！挪威人都这么耐打的么
总体很有意思，环环相扣，反转很多。不过觉得结局不是很喜欢，也许妻子放了手，更黑暗一些，更复杂一些
刚开始的反转夫妻互杀还有点意思，后来一致对外血浆横飞了就比较中规中矩了，反而是最后的结局最好玩。
延续《死亡之雪》的味道，搞了一套真正的婚姻生活，狠角色老爹的懦夫儿子逼急了也能变硬核。
血腥暴力的北欧喜剧，是不是那边的犯人个个是魔山啊hhh
是的，这就是我们日常看着戏剧以为会有的转折与我们非日常紧急时刻我们真实的反应。
Vancity Theatre. 全剧的人都有一种古怪感，然后酝酿着酝酿着也没有出现一个畅快的坡道。女主角的演技真的很棒，即使在欲说还休，云里雾里飘着的我，还是跟着看完了全片。也许这个daughter = 玩偶吧。看完想试试看削橙子连根线了
5.5分。生活经济跌入谷底的夫妻俩，最后反杀三个在逃犯，暴力画面也是够血腥，最后在湖中那一段，妻子犹豫着要不要放弃丈夫，丈夫睁着带血的眼睛，紧张惶恐地看着妻子，夫妻俩的关系也太真实了，还靠这段经历大肆营销大赚一笔，最后改编成电影丈夫还给自己挽尊，节奏快又暗含讽刺，但也有不合逻辑的地方，实在不是我的菜。
开头好，但是将悬疑点都揭开完之后，就变成一部无脑血浆片，后面结尾再勉强拉回一点点。男主跪地求饶的那段演技，值得学习。
垃圾电影！节奏拖拖拉拉，类型不是爱情也不是伦理，不是悬疑惊悚也不是动作，就是四不像，漏洞百出，全靠主角光环，早一枪崩了这对杀人犯夫妇就没有后面的故事了！前一秒还在互相谋杀，后一秒就变成共同抗敌了，关键时刻总是主角拿到枪，别人都是笨蛋，垃圾电影，白左国家注定拍不出好电影，只会反思、宽容、意淫、滥情！垃圾电影！电影还是美国、英国、法国、意大利、韩国的比较好看，以后不要看挪威的电影了！白左恶心死了
本来还以为真的是讨论婚姻困境呢，从第一股血浆迸出开始，一切逻辑和人物都不重要了，剩下的只有残暴和更加残暴。倒是夫妻俩的市侩在最后一以贯之地保留下来。
前半段完美，后半段乏味，结局意料之内，讽刺十足，还是值得一看的
对话多，节奏慢，血腥场面短而少，在b级片中毫不出色。
前半小时画面配色分分钟想截图，后半小时笑出了猪叫声。
太墨迹，完全可以把片长控制在一个半小时左右。用袜子装球把人打晕之后既不补刀又不捆绑，刚刚上线了几分钟的智商立即又下线？
