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.
在祭坛外跳舞，给爷整出戏了，群演你特么怎么找的😂
看了。没有网上夸得那么夸张，水平和以往的电视电影差不多。有人拿它跟剑雨比，过了，制作完全不能比。
只是一个情节短小精悍的复仇故事。但服化道的精良配上古风武侠，再加上舞台剧般的光影构图有着让我着迷的美感。特别是谢苗那一下火焰刀甩刀，简直酷爆
干净利落，侠气逼人。最爱雪天火焰刀，黑暗背景下的终极对决。
有点像是中国版座头市，一个瞎子剑客复仇的故事。不过做了一些本土化的剧情设置，显得不那么日式，武打场面还行，没有以前港片的行云流水，但是动作还是好看的。整个故事就是很短的一个套路，前因后果都讲明白了，人物出身也介绍了，或许是打算出续作？
是最近看的较为不错的网大了，制作限于成本也能如此精良，虽有些不足，但是还是让人觉得片长真短啊
不错啊，末段的画面和调度很纯熟了。可惜两个女性角色，或者说钉钉子的墙太垮了，没能加分。限制网大的，是自认末流，吴京那种破逼玩意儿都大卖，自信点儿谢苗。
一把听风刀，一招楼兰斩，作为武侠片，影片最大的看点就是武打戏，不管是雪地大战还是雨夜杀敌，毫不拖泥带水，干净俐落，见血封喉，让人热血喷张。影片光影处理得也不错，刀光剑影之外，也有唯美浪漫的侠客情。谢苗的瞎子造型竟意外的适合他，作为武打童星出身的谢苗，经过这么多年，依然还是很能打
很緊凑的片子，臺語對話太有味道了，還有羅大佑客串。雖然最後高捷那裏有點交代不明，以及一些東西靠旁白念出來顯得略微“缺乏誠意”，但是光譚志剛的表現就足以抵消這些瑕疵。
还算是能看的网大把。就是太短，动作戏太少。
6.8/10，中规中矩，不过不失的武侠片，守住了江湖恩义，少了些新视角新解读。
赵客缦胡缨，吴钩霜雪明。银鞍照白马，飒沓如流星。十步杀一人，千里不留行。事了拂衣去，深藏身与名。闲过信陵饮，脱剑膝前横。将炙啖朱亥，持觞劝侯嬴。三杯吐然诺，五岳倒为轻。眼花耳热后，意气素霓生。救赵挥金槌，邯郸先震惊。
谢苗好像一直都没变。有些仓促，但近年属于不错了。
当然《荒原》要比这部网大强多了，但这部网大又要比其他网大以及如今很多电视剧里的慢镜头武打要强太多太多了。
剧情虽然简单，但是是那个江湖味儿了～部分镜头还很有艺术美感，一片漆黑里飞扬的白雪，一个垂死挣扎的恶人，一个瞎眼的侠客，一匹识途的老马。
女演员一言难尽....
网络电影天花板！谢苗翻身之作！有浪客剑心那味道了，期待可以扩展这个宇宙！
国外的无脑快节奏爽片Johnwick和慢节奏爽片座头市都各成体系 本片节奏介于两者之间 小屏幕动作片新典范
男谢苗，女冬冬，鬼有彭禺厶。我们的电影正在蒸蒸日上哦!
还不错，比诸多网大电影都好看，剧情节奏、动作设计、布景、配乐都值得称赞！男主表现的武侠范儿还挺上头，视觉张力杠杠的！要不是剧情短了一些，感觉都可以上院线了
