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.
一星给阴郁的气氛和漫天浓雾下肃杀的氛围，恐怖气氛不错，可惜内容太过平庸，怪物又看不清，恐怖气氛弱了不少
2.5星吧。。。怀着故事之间暗藏关联的小期待，硬撑憋完两小时，结果落下一个怀疑自己得了脸盲症的心病。。。
印第安原住民传说，恐怖大师里有鹿女，这又来了个雄鹿怪，只不过影片拍的太直白，没有悬疑色彩。
所有带小孩的恐怖片，这帮逼孩子无一例外都特别擅长画阴森恐怖的鬼图，羡慕这种绘画天赋。故事讲述一种温迪戈的长角寄生类怪物，会感染他人，嗜血具有攻击性，寄宿成熟后破体而出，宿主死亡。攻击力爆炸，但分分钟被女老师捅死，呸，战五渣。
如果“恐怖片”都不能算作恐怖片，那么什么能算作恐怖片呢？废话，当然是能吓人的片。
没多吓人，主要还是韩国恐怖片女生颜值都太高了，专注点都在美女上
流星的脸怎么突然就崎岖了起来，帅哥保护好自己的脸！多哥还是熟悉的歪嘴笑，麻衣样好久不见没认出来，三浦油到我了。剧情没什么好说的，打发打发时间。
5、女同，害怕世俗的眼光，那就把你吃了，同为一体
2022年度观影计划136/200
看到shownu突然就不恐怖了 时隔多年我果然还是迷恋这一型
俊男靓女挺多！一波接一波。就是有人大聪明一直猜中剧情，让我觉得没啥悬念没意思！
佐野勇斗在流星的光芒下都变得没那么丑了 说真的看你这个电影我不如去看BABA岚
每个故事都是开头氛围和想法还可以到后面就变成烂片了，夸张的特效一出来就把恐怖感打消的无影无踪
The Ritual + The Taking of Deborah Logan. Adult characters are bad, bad writing.
我觉得还行～有几个故事还挺对味。比如牙虫，人偶～
没头没尾的。每一个故事太短了！！转折有些生硬
流星的脸怎么突然就崎岖了起来，帅哥保护好自己的脸！多哥还是熟悉的歪嘴笑，麻衣样好久不见没认出来，三浦油到我了。剧情没什么好说的，打发打发时间。
1.物理专精锤子鬼 2.红衣周迅蜘蛛侠 3开始的牙医故事很戳痛点，怎么就半路剧本突变丧尸围城了呢 4.什么寄生兽吸血鬼捉迷藏缝合怪5.砸开墙挺吓人，突然吸入黑洞是什么鬼 6.没头没尾的大雄与任意橱的故事，有种拍一半都没决定拍灵异还是变态犯罪题材于是摆烂的感觉。7.公司给单身狗配鬼老婆8这又.什么手机美颜软件使用失败的故事 9.这还稍微有点诡异的人体模型，不过有些没看懂。 10.没头没尾密室逃脱。 综上 ，不值得观看，浪费两小时还没劲。
流星演的貘先生非常帅气，但看上去不够邪魅。漫画中的废弃大楼变成了森林，密室逃生的紧张感完全丢失了，打戏跟玩一样。老白这老板娘也太嫩了，还是少了点气场，和貘先生的暧昧戏份十分尴尬。
本乡奏多扭曲的丑脸、声音+身姿 太 迷 人 ！！！Ryusei稳定输出~
