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.
看到最后那个用丧尸驱动的摩托车实在是憋不住了，这算丧尸朋克嘛，哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈。
改变了丧尸世界的游戏规则反而变得不好看了。看了开头还以为会有出色的创意，结果丧尸控制丧尸、吃丧尸以毒攻毒、丧尸秒变吸血鬼等设定让人越看越无厘头，不值得保存该片源了。
总体感觉一般，变成公路片了。
我真的无语了
接上一部，这部有种活着的人再次内部清除掉的感觉，几个有头有脑的都挂了，可惜了控制妹，献身了…
完成度满分，结尾差了点。看样子还有续集，会看的。
一如既往打脑洞，结局关键人物一个没死，估计要出第三部
我觉得拍的挺精致的，没有常见印度歌舞，确实是另一番风格。以及，她的爱可以说出来，而你的不可以。
几版岳父大人都好喜欢，2022版重点是我的父母爱情和拥抱新型男子气概：支持欣赏自己的伴侣，甚至可以跟她姓哈哈哈～副线则是一如既往的家庭温情和移民新身份认同，加上一丢丢的亲家笑话～安迪加西亚和格洛丽亚埃斯特芬的巨星风范！老爸看到老妈穿上当年婚纱出来时那个表情就知道这婚是离不了了哈哈哈，很适合夏日合家欢的电影🎬

我感觉豆瓣评分有一点低了。整体来说我觉得剧情还挺精彩的，我觉得是属于那种我稍微分神一下就看不懂的。但是我觉得最后的结尾有一点落于俗套，就是终究还是因为爱情什么的，让我对结局倒是有点失望吧，我本来以为结局会有很大的反转的，结果他却是一个爱情片。
分数：63
还剩一点脑洞，不过已经不够用了，毕竟把戏不可久玩。
像拼了一堆游戏过场动画一样无趣，服化道可以，演员太别扭
原来全天下有女儿的老爸都是一个样子，古板守旧、冥顽不化、装腔作势又死要面子。全身充斥着骄傲的「大男子主义」，开着土的掉渣的老爷车，总是会冷言冷语打破愉快的气氛，好像从来只会照顾自己的感受。但他们又极力隐藏着自己柔软的内心，投身于事业又深爱着妻子，小心翼翼的保护自己的家庭，并一成不变的守护着自己的所谓「传统」。同时，对于自己女儿埋藏心底的爱，他也从来没有变少过。这样的父亲不只在电影里，更像是在我们身边，因为我们的父亲都是这个样子。很难得有一部触动人心的喜剧电影，至少它在这个盛夏的午后，打动了我。
这超能力能传承啊，用得好就是控制精神+长生不死+力大无穷啊
3、丧尸跟反派的战斗力过于孱弱导致可看性低了很多，如果有第三部可以引入一些更牛逼的丧尸类型增加平衡性
大门电源线在外面，我直接一个切断，门打不开，反派是不是就饿死在里面了
挺好看的，喜剧也挺搞笑。
冲两个女主看的，不过这片子是够有套路的。。。我为什么要看一群有钱人为了点鸡毛蒜皮的小事唧唧歪歪？？？本来想轻松一下结果看得脑壳疼。。。。难道米国也给结婚片发补助了？？？忽然觉得2000年土傻土傻的版本挺好的。。。。
