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.
但是，整部电影造景很假、非常失真，感觉画面饱和度过高。剧情欠缺逻辑，不该煽情的地方硬煽情，全程看完无感…
爷爷是第四十军120师360团的老兵。所以对抗美援朝历史特别感兴趣。然后最喜欢看的军旅题材剧就是士兵突击，这部剧剧本是同一个老师就让人很放心。三个导演都是很厉害的，八一电影制片厂和博纳的加入又让我期待值拔高的顶点了。
电影剧本杀。当事人自己都不愿意揭开的疮疤，就埋了吧。| 喜剧和悬疑结合还是有一定难度的，尚算不错。
近两年从金刚川，到1950，到长津湖。这次感触最深。外公也是19岁上的现场，也会怕疼，也会调皮，也会想家。
前半段可以给4星 但是后半段拉垮了啊 现编故事最服非常嫌疑犯
好看！节奏紧凑，看的都快把携带的流苏包揪秃了。
战争开幕前，开国元勋的老演员们一出幕可太令人激动了。另外战七连的每个人物也都演活了，不管是主角还是配角，都诠释的非常立体，群像演绎相当精彩。印象最深刻的就是四字弟弟的伍万里和胡军的雷公（雷公不仅是最大泪点所在，全剧所有的笑点也在这两人身上），吴京可以说是演技担当，段奕宏一如既往的神，朱亚文和李晨正常表现，韩东君出乎意料的好，以上集结了中国最优秀荷尔蒙演员。
虽然有些不如人意的地方。但就凭这个题材。他就值五星
片子四星，多给一星支持一下至少是好好打磨过的国产剧本。
不是冲着悲壮的历史现实致敬我及格分都给不到…三小时到底拍了些什么？
特别震惊报告老板团队竟然拍出讽刺悬疑剧！有密室逃脱和民国剧本杀的元素，也致敬了《闪灵》和《这个杀手不太冷》用民国背景反讽当代，非常大胆，有勇气也有创意！喜剧人真的都是宝藏人！

本来看到选角是期待做成纯个体视角的，结果没想到预告一上来就高层会议了，要这么多，结果还弄了一个小时给林超贤拍无意义的信号塔攻防战，唉………
希望不要忘记他们。
史诗级战争片就需要大的投资，才能撑得起大的场面与史诗感，《长津湖》就是一部史诗级战争片，让人有一种置身战场的感觉，每颗子弹都仿佛从我身边划过，不自觉的为里面的演员咬紧了牙关，攥紧了拳头，每位演员都可圈可点，将当时中国人的军人气质展露无遗，虽然是战争片，但内核却有另一种反战的思想，这场仗我们为何而打，我们不得不抗美援朝；我们努力将仗打完了未来下一代甚至下下代就不用打仗了。
怎么讲呢，之前看影评说很多人都哭啦，我泪点高，一次都没哭过，电影质量没得说。对于抗美援朝我是没有什么情怀的，这只存在于教科书上，但是梅生说的那句话，他们打，是为了后辈以后不打。我感受到了，感谢中国人民志愿军，你们永远是最可爱的人。
感触最深的部分在于几人决定将丑事拍出来的那种不顾一切，不能就这么“算了”，伴随着恐惧与不安，作为艺术家/社会公民的良心与正义也在那一刻倾泻而出。
北京首映礼见到了主创们。说说电影，176分钟的视听盛宴，从开始到结束没有一秒多余镜头，真的太震撼了。以青春无悔换山河无恙。
是我魔怔了，怎么感觉在里面听到了几个武林外传样子的梗。
寸土寸血的主题，满满当当的战斗，偶一细腻的情感，互不兼容的败笔。
