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.
不要重复她的话，不要学她的动作，不要盯着那个符号看就没啥晦气的。就是拍了个午夜凶铃录像带加长版给观众看，恶心谁呢，低级。手持拍摄还不停换多机位，搞笑呢。无耳芳一、莲蓬乳、暗处鬼手、心理暗示，没啥新鲜料。这个vlog都不如那些探险废屋的有意思，无聊。（怎么难看还不许讲啊？居然大半夜还发私信辱骂？这么在意豆瓣评价吗？）
好看，就恶心死你们这帮看盗版恐怖片还嫌晦气的大撒币。
没想到影像语言这么好，中间那段长镜头冲击力很强。
3.5吧，伪民俗美术还可以，就是借鉴元素有点多，镜头设计问题比较大，相比其他类似伪纪录片硬伤太多，分担诅咒的互动是亮点也是死穴，至少我个人感觉是被强行拉入了并未被事先告知的观看契约，且此契约溢出了电影文本的场域，进入了日常经验，因而造成生理性不适。
本来想给较差，但后来想想，美术方面还行，就给了还行。作为伪纪录片，在摄影上并没有突出恐怖的氛围，女主演又用力过猛，少了真实感。其实通篇看下来，味同嚼蜡。
这片子拍得很好，但是恶意满满。是真正的恶意，不是开玩笑，也不是过分的恶作剧。导演用了很多视听语言和心理暗示技巧去达到他的目的。所以，直觉和现实都是：恶意满满。评分为大义。同情心理脆弱会受影响的观众们，祝福你们～～～P.S.能力越大，责任越大，给所有创作者。
女主有几个角度太像马广媚了，搞得我好出戏。。。论吓人的话其实还不如金广发那个《元组·肉艳》哈哈
结尾充满了小时候流行的一种"不把这段话转给多少人就会惨遭厄运”的既视感，可以理解导演的为了渲染恐怖的意图，但真的不讨喜，令我产生不适。。。
就这一部都被强吹本土化《招魂》+能列入最佳华语恐怖电影，我就想问到底哪里来的勇气？
最近几年的恐怖片都要搞一些结合直播/手机摄影/短视频伪纪录什么的，有点滥俗。拉观众入伙算是某种新创意但是过于粗暴以至于显得不是太地道。
总结：无套内射会很惨，会生小孩，小孩很可怕，没事不要养。
结局相当于就是“不转发xxx”。册那，什么玩意儿！
作为恐怖片我倒是能原谅他咒我，毕竟选择去看不就是找刺激么。其实是个歌颂母爱的片子，只是完全没讲女主为啥突然就要把孩子接回来，以及为啥接回来了才会出事。这一点上逻辑断裂的比较严重。有意思的地方是导演用了几个心理学上的视错觉图和视觉滞留，第一次在恐怖片里见到有人这么用，还蛮合适的。
不得不说，当最热门的影评是“呸，晦气”时，这个恐怖片已经成功了。
实在是亚洲人会害怕的东西集大成了
期待太高，驚嚇有限，即便在故事過半時已經猜到了包袱的底，卻還是喜歡柯孟融的敘事詭計設計，不討好觀眾，與觀眾之間形成了一種奇妙的互動，將偽紀錄恐怖片的類型做了進一步的拓展，將觀看行為也納入成為電影的一部分。
期待了三个月，概括来讲就是四个字：灵啊灵啊。 影片至少五处场景独具匠心：电梯那段致敬《lights out》，仪式现场女主慌不择路RPG游戏既视感，大妈冷不丁的背后突袭，祝福符号视觉停留，结尾传播正能量传播爱，都来得太巧妙。 有几个镜头密集恐惧症患者看得简直叫苦不迭，有点手臂挑芝麻那味儿了。
看完后感觉怪诡异的，就喜欢这种东方宗教恐怖。
哎作为伪纪录片真的不太合格，到处都是不知道哪儿来的摄影机，机位切换太频繁反倒让人出戏。从头到尾 jump scare 也不甚高级，只有开头还谈得上是不错的调度。结尾这么缺德真的不怕观众集体暴揍嘛
算是恐怖片里还算不错的吧，但能不能不要再伪纪录片了…一回新二回旧三回四回老掉牙了都。
