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.
电影剧情还可以，可以给到4星甚至5星。
不求尽如人意，只求无愧于心。

站的够近，就离真相更近。一个民族的尺度和尊严，是由每个个体的爱和良知构成的，而所有民族的尺度和尊严，都是勇敢抗争的结果。感谢这个世界，还有有理想律师、有良知的警察、愿意维护法律尊严和人权的法官、以及苦苦忍耐却克己有爱的草民。
呵，这片可比三只松鼠的性质恶劣，三只松鼠有可能只是被长期跪舔西方的PR公司给坑了，但这片可是改了原画，特地全员眯眯眼就奔着去拿国外的动画奖的哈
9.6分imdb有点过了，因为摄影音乐也不是那么好。但是，背后的真实事件太过震惊。就算现在主演都被暴力威胁，太可怕了。
最后的彩蛋里，阿娟还是去了上海，住在脏乱差的宿舍里，面对着擎天柱一样的东方明珠，守护着曾经的舞狮梦想和那个还没有开始就无疾而终的爱情。心酸又现实。强仔也一定又回去送咸鱼，阿猫仍然一事无成，阿狗也依然做回那个屠夫。相信奇迹又怎样，跨上了擎天柱又怎样，普通人实现阶级跃迁哪里这样简单。想起那些口口声声说“穷就是因为懒”“没钱就去搬砖送外卖”的人，请不要在“何不食肉糜”。贫穷不是个人问题。农民辛苦种了一辈子地也依然贫穷，只有微薄的退休金和日渐上涨的物价；在外打了一辈子工的人也依然治不起病，甚至没有“工伤险”，只能不断地消耗子女亲人。那么多穷人拼命想把孩子往高处送，却受限于环境、教育、家庭。就算子女好不容易有了学历、地位，却因为家乡的父母生病、弟妹读书、缺乏远见…失去了一次又一次的机会，又变回平庸……
我愿誉为“中国现实主义动画”开山之作！非常棒~
这种边角料电影只能唤起记忆，而非情感。至于为什么那么多人交口称赞才是值得关注的。
光影场景真实感极强，狮头绒毛很细腻，那沾水时一缕缕的质感——雨水的处理国漫绝无仅有。但人物建模廉价，可谓冰火两重天。
美其名曰弘扬传统文化，拍舞狮，却又不讲舞狮，除了片头旁白零星几句，舞狮哪里好，要怎么练，有什么讲究传统，通片只字不提，就光拍拿着狮头跳，只是借个壳子噱头而已。 全片优点可能就是舞狮行头的质感了，做的确实不赖。 团队少看点《乐夏》和周星驰，做个不偷鸡的作品出来不行麽。
我很喜欢，一方面固然是因为制作水准高度在线。另一方面我更看重的，是这部片子确实是难得有那么一点当代中国质感的作品。主人公的父亲工地上干活摔成植物人只能回家躺着，男孩进城打工备受欺凌，大雨之夜送外卖被辱骂，送快递的时候电动车被撞飞好心人来帮忙结果是自己心动的女孩让男孩顿时羞愧局促。看的时候觉得百感交集，知道这是非常有良心的创作者，虽然在这样的创作大环境里也真的只只能点到为止。但已经是铺天盖地的塑料正能量里，这已经是唯一的能打中心灵的真诚之作了。
这才是国漫应该有的样子啊啊啊啊啊
前半段真的拉（其实就是国产剧情一般水平），但是后半段看起来就非常舒适了。狮子做得栩栩如生，动作设计也不错。特别是后半段的人物表情也更生动了，看到后面真的会忽略长相。而且，终于不是奇幻电影了！！
无关乎剧情和故事本身，只是如第一个影评所说，从此失去了看印度电影的“优越感”了
女阿娟说，女孩很少有舞狮的，参加完这次大赛就不舞了。
是的，《雄狮》毕竟是电影，不可能人人都能成为阿娟。但有时，你也会得到电影里的结局。
必须推荐。
值得去影院贡献下票房，周星驰、五条人、九连真人……虽然优缺点都非常明显，而如何平衡故事与技术上的差距依旧是国产动画的漫漫长路；后半段优于前半段，特别是少年推开天台的门开始，一气呵成。到最后，总是哭着求神拜佛的少年终于化为雄狮，上山下山，路自在脚下。
所有人都说跳擎天柱是不可能的，他还是要试一试。
